Can you please tell me what a CC rebate is? And also - where did you get $36 coupons for Nexxus?

These were spectacular shops!

Nice brag!!

I get a rebate when I use my credit card. Most cash back credit cards (PC Financial, SDM MasterCard, etc. will give you 1% return as a cash back or credit).

No, I don't have $36 Nexxus coupons. I wish! They were the $3 coupons, but I just used 12, which worked out to a total of $36 off.

It might have been a more spectacular shop had I known there were Pepsi coupons at No Frills, where I went not five minutes after leaving SDM. Noooooo!!!

omg !! nice shop !! i do have as well the cash back credit card which i love sooo i use it all the time !!

My friends were thanking me and telling me how I'm such a big help buying all this pop for them. Oh no, anytime. Just let me know if you need anything else.... The only real issue is transporting it all an hour and a half away, which will cost in terms of gas (also on cash back - yay!). But, they were instrumental in our wedding, so we're honoured to do it!!

Now I wish the 18,500 points were today as well, and the 2 day sale was extended to a 3 day sale. Then we'd be seeing some real shopping! Oh, they've brought out the shopaholic in me....

I nearly forgot (as DH wouldn't let me cut up the boxes for transport) but I bought 3 Canada Dry's all with a $1.50 off coupon on the box, and 2 B1G1 movie admissions on the Fruitopia and Nestea.

The groom already said I could have them! Now to convince the venue I need the boxes back....
