1. SDM - the 'surprise' Friday offers which included a 3K wus $10 on F&S. Picked up Catelli Healthy Harvest pasta ($0.99 price freeze), Schneiders Pepperettes ($9.99 - 8 mgr coupon) and Cascade D/W detergent ($0.99 clearance - $0.50 coupon). Out of pocket $3.97 exc. tax and got 3110 pts.
2. No Frills - a small but interesting shop which taught me a few lessons, namely pull out my calculator, weigh my fruits/veggie purchases to ensure I meet offer thresholds AND be prepared for right decision if the deal doesn't go the way you hoped. In hindsight I should not have bothered with the bacon (even though still a good deal, not as good as have done previously)
- Tide yellow bottles. PM'd to Metro 2 @ $4.99 ea. Used $5 coupon. Submitted to C51 for $5 rebate. And got 1600 PC pts !
- ML Bacon $3.88. Planned B2G1 free but cashier said either that or the $2.50 cpns so got 2x($3.88-2.50). Received 600 PC pts
- Buy Tostitos Chips $2.77 + Salsa $3.19, get a free Pepsi 2L (value $0.99). Just missed my Tostitos 400 PC pts by 4cents
- Rest of shop was fruits & veggies. Total after coupons $24.17 - $20 redeemed. $4.15 oop + 2800 pts +$5 C51 back
3. Walmart - thanks to thor9's post for Iams cat food, just ordered 5lb bags for $4 each, delivering to the post office around the corner.
