Dec 1-2 Mega/Bonus Redemption shopping lists

Now the we have seen the flyer and adjusted our expectations with the new amounts, I wanted to start a new thread for people to put their shopping lists. Other threads have become long and strayed into disagreements over what is fair, and whether they will continue to collect points. I just want to see what is a good deal and what people are buying. I will probably be sticking to groceries, hopefully I won't have a problem getting milk - never had a problem on redemptions but it might have caused me issues on a mystery discount event. I may just go with the $70 or $105 and then use the rest in the new year. Last year I did a $250 - my very first redemption - and had to add on some overpriced things to get there.

I'm hoping to get an e-reader for my mom, a bluetooth for my brother, monster high dolls for my dd, diapers, formula, chocolate for dd's teachers and baby einstien dvds or baby toys(if they have any) for my little one. I could probably get these things cheaper somewhere else but free is free, and I only buy what I need at shoppers when things are on sale, getting points and being able to get stuff for free is a bonus.

We are planning on doing 1 $210 redemption for mostly groceries items and finishing off Christmas presents for the family, other then that, if we have a bit left over, will probably buy a wii game for ourselves

Not gonna be redeeming anything this weekend :)(Ps. First post lol!)

A 3DS XL for dd, still don't know should buy XL or regular 3ds. How big XL is really compared to normal, they said 90% but I'm not sure. saw packing at shoppers and that was pretty small.

So far I have:
(anything with S is a stocking stuffer)
Monster High doll
mens and womens razors (S)
toothpaste
pull ups
cat food
cat litter
laundry soap and fabric softener
toilet paper, paper towels and kleenex
aspirin and motrin
milk, eggs and bread
juice boxes and lunch snacks
gummy vitamins (S)
mio (S)
multipack of gum (S)
lunch meat
john frieda shampoo and conditioner (S)
no more tangles spray (S)
dish soap and dishwasher soap
toilet bowl cleaner

The amounts for each item will depend on what the prices of the grocery items are, I have a rough idea right now. The Monster High doll is a gift for my niece and is the #1 most important thing on the list, everything else is workable.

I have a nephew with a 3ds xl, I recommend that one over the non xl. It's definitely worth the 20$ upgrade.

Just a heads up for people that were thinking of doing a redemption for the Lysol No Touch system and then using the mail in rebate coupon:

The coupon is only good for up to $14.99 and my local Shoppers (Chatham, Ontario) sells it for $15.99 (currently $12.99 but the sale ends on the 30th).

Just didn't want anyone to be disappointed about that.

I have enough for 2x $210 redemptions. I plan to do one strictly prestige cosmetics, some for me and some gifts for my mom and sister. The other will be grocery and stocking stuffers. The beauty boutique just called me to let me know about the redemption event this weekend and said I can come down to put items aside for Saturday. Yay me!

I need some ideas!!
i need gifts for:
my sister, my mom, my dad, and 2 nieces (11 and 7)
So I will be doing a full $210 :)

I might do just one 210$ redemtion and keep my points for a later redemption (couldn't see much of interest in the flyer)....
but I'm waiting to see the food section that we're missing. Hope to buy a few xmas presents...
The pepsi 6-packs and chips are well priced...will probably get some of those!

I need to see the rest of the flyer before i make my decision. Will be redeeming for xmas gifts, stocking stuffers and what ever else i see in the rest of the flyer.

I am also waiting for the Food Section of the flyer to Make my list. My plan is mostly Foods and baby supplies for my charity hampers.

Have a few things down since I only have enough for a $105 redemption. 20,000 pts short of a big one. Christmas chocolate and a few inexpensive gifts.
