    Can you earn optimum points on otc drugs? For example, Tylenol, Advil, Polysporin, Cortisone ointment, rubbing alcohol, etc.

    Also, can you redeem points for these same products? Can you redeem for milk as well?

    Thanks in advance for any answers .

    As long as the product does not contain codeine we get SDM points, milk included. We can redeem for those products as well.

    Wow, that's almost 2$ cheaper than here! I don't know why I never thought to stop in a Shopper's in ON on my way home from my mother's. Now I can plan my visits to coincide with bonus and redemption days .

    absolutely. and you can freeze milk to. just needs a day or so to thaw and a good shake and its back to normal. that way you can stock up if you have the space.

    In Qc, we can earn points on milk but can't redeem for it. We also can't use coupons on items like painkillers and allergy meds, receive points for them, nor can we redeem for them either. Thanks so much for the info, it's a big help .

    I bought Jamieson iron pills and got points last weekend. I just ask pharmacy to give me the bottle and pay with my other stuff at regular cash register. Iron pills is the same as over the counter vitamins.

    Yes I think in ON, by law they have to keep the iron pills behind the pharmacy counter, but ultimately they are a regular product that you should get points for, like other vitamins. I think Iron is controlled because it can be toxic if you take too much

    Apply every possible promo code to your cart, at every store that you visit (and get points for cash back on top of that?). It's sweet and easy with HONEY.

    Milk where I am (GTA) is $4.29

    I suggest bottling the milk first if you are going to freeze it. If you freeze the 4L bags inside the originaly bag both are very thin plastic and with a chest freezer and having to dig for something here or there the bag can very easily get ripped and you will never know until you put that bag of milk in the sink to defrost, come back and the milk is now down the drain ... true story.

    I use empty plastic water bottles. Its easier for us as well since we don't use much Milk.
