So who has loads of chocolate from the SDM promo to share with us?

[bargain_hunter_lola]

I think DD may be graduated to using the big potty! Wahoooooo! She now prefers to use her potty as a step stool to get to the big potty. I hope this continues! No more potty dumping/cleaning for me. At least until DS is ready for that.

No chocolate for me. No redemption either.

I've been finding it super hard to get point this year. Every SDM is out of items I want on the point promo days. I barely have enough for ONE redemption. Last year I had 6 for Christmas.

I was tempted to go in seach of the chocolate bars but it's not worth lugging 2 little ones in to a bunch of stores just to find out they have none.

Anyone know how long the promo is for? Maybe I can go on Tuesday while the kids are at preschool

I have drastically cut my SDM shopping too, partly because of the fiasco last year which I believe they have a part in as they didnt try to help anyone even if they were stolen but also because their prices are higher, the staff are harder to deal with and they are always out of stock.

My bathroom stockpile is much more reasonable after a year of living on it though

The chocolate promo is on for a while, at least til next week

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Yeah, I find everything harder at SDM this year.

I tried to stock up on TP last promo. I only like Royale and it's usually cheapest at SDM. So, I went to 3 SDM's and NONE has TP or facial tissue. The 4th one only had 2 packs left (so I couldnt even use the buy3 get point coupon).

I checked the blog, its now thru Sept 23 woot lots of time to find chocolate (or crackers, coffee the other more boring and costlier stuff)

Thanks! I'll have to hit a bunch of SDM's on Tues and see if I can't take advantage of the offer. I'd love to be able to hand out whole chocolate bars for Halloween!

In case you don't check the deals forum, CT has a scratchcard event next week $5 off purchase or McCain Deep & Delicious (check the coupon UPC here to see what the prize is without scratching)

and maybe add in a bar for each of the kids preschool workers for Christmas. Have to make up 10 gifts.

[FallenPixels]

They are the big bars too, people will LOVE you

I'll admit, I stopped checking it. But with the new incentives, I may have to make sure I check it again! Lots more deals to see.

I honestly hate CT with a passion. I call it "The Man Store". I wait in the car if DH needs to go there. lol

[bargain_hunter_lola]

The staff are always rude, and can never answer any questions. And they hate coupons. So, obviously I avoid there. hahahaha

Is the promo a Saturday only? I find it so hard to drag both kids places, prefer to do all my shopping when they are in school.

[FallenPixels]

Haha I used to hate CT but after I moved, the one near me has food so I find myself in there more often. If I can get cake with my milk or my milk paid for, I will go!
