''Magasin Pain économique''

5x Bon Matin sliced bread @ 1.60$ = 8$

Total : 8$

I also got 5 toaster pins (1 pin per bread), and I traded them for 5 Lean Cuisine pins ! since we can enter the pin in the Lean Cuisine rewards (they doubled points until Jan 31) AND the Stouffers rewards, each pin was valued at 1.09$..

- 5x Lean Cuisine pins (value : 1.09$ each)
- 1.73$ left on one gas card

OOP: 0.82$

SDM

11x Lean Cuisine @ 1.99$ = 21.89$

- 11x Lean Cuisine pins (value : 1.09$ each)

Total : 9.90$

+ 4000 bonus points coupon (when you buy 25$+, my mom add is purchases to my bill)

+ 250 regular points

= 4250 points (value : 8.94$ during a bonus redemption day)

Zellers

1x Box of 6 flaky pasteries Passion Flakies @ 1.99$ = 1.99$

Inside the Carnation box, I also got 1 fpc for a Stouffers Bistro Sliders product (up to trade)


Big total at this week price = 124.47$ (regular price is higher)
Coupons, gas card, points value, SPC, pins value and pink sticker = 121.39$
Big oop = 1.74$

I still have a lot of things to use from my stockpile/fridge/freezer/pantry

At Iga the Velveeta was 4.99$, and it's a very great good price ! Regular they are 8.99$ each, and since they don't come often at this price, I bought 4 and I froze them.

At Jean Coutu, the coupons was 1$ off, but they reduced the value of the coupon to the price of the product, so 99¢ off. Still FREE

''Magasin pain économique'' is a little store here at Drummondville (Quebec). They sell bread that are not enough fresh to be sold in a regular grocery store.. They have really good prices !! For example, I bought my breads on Jan 30, and they were good until Fev 2, so I just have to freeze them immediately !!

At SDM, the manager had the enter the 4000 bonus points manually.. the man behind me was so impatient !! He sighed every 30 seconds !! ''OMG, we have to wait because she wants her points !'' I did not answer him, I smiled.. I knew that I was getting 11 Lean Cuisine for a very cheap price

At Zellers I brought a receipt from Dollorama, where I bought a box of Carnation 10 servings for 2$ a couple days ago, and since the UPC is written on the receipt, I ask her if she can price match it (I gave her my receipt as proof), and she said yes ! :D

Resume:

week 1 (OOP: 6.93$, Value: 46.31$)
week 2 (OOP: 1.74$, Value : 123.13$)

The impatient guy, does he not realize that you are not the one controlling the line. It is up to the store to open another cash, since the manager was working on your cash with the pins?

Mama Mia. Some people!

But, I liked your response. Just smile.

congrats cocottee! and wtg!!!

Just a question for you... for you resume you include the value of your optimum points this week... so the week you will use your points (redeem) you will not include the points in you saving?

Myself I do the opposite because I don't know the specific value (ratio) when I will redeem my points... sometime I use the ratio 558 (95000=170$), sometime the ratio 500 (50000=100$), sometime the ratio 475 (95000=200$) and sometime the ratio 380 (95000=250$) or other non-typical ratio like the one for Valentine's day. For the calculation I count the points as an "amount in bank" for my futur need... like an FPC in my stash but not used at that moment.

[Cocottee00]

Well, I think you're right 2010ontest, I've think about it and I should only count my points/pins in my saving when I reedem them.. thanks I will proceed in this way the next time

[sharkie]

[coley3]

What a great week. I count my points etc. when I redeem as well. But its nice to see how they do add up on a weekly basis.

Great brag!!! I go to the ''Magasin économique '' too sometimes

[cath007]

@cocotte00: you know what: those peoples who are hazzle with couponning will learn to be more patient because I was watching at V ''Aubaines et Cie'' and a woman who own the www.onmagasine.ca (same thing as la petite puce) talk about how this mouvment will take importance...you can watched on the web site of V starting tuesday,,,it is confusing how the price change...I bought two Ruffle at 2,50$ each at Maxi and this week end they were 2,00$ at pharmaprix...

btw I will call you the Smack you Twice of QC...it's a great compliment,,,your list is made by the same way as she did
