[WillieP]

[johnb56789]

Not too much for me lately, been trying to stay out of the stores as much as I can to save a bit more... But I did pick up some Eggos at Zehrs just a few days ago...

Zehrs:
Eggo Waffles (X4): $14.00(Reg) + 5,000Pts (WUB3 Flyer Offer - Approved with Inquiry) + 5,000Pts (Points Days Offer) = $14 + 10,000Pts back

And... If I have time today, I may do the Cheerios at my work, but not sure of my plans tonight... But it would go as follows:

RCSS:
Cheerios Family Sizes (Various; X51): $254.49 + 25,000Pts (Store-Wide Offer) + 126,000Pts (Points Days Offer) + 50,400Pts (Personal Offer) = $254.49 + 201,400Pts back

All to be going to my parents food bank (Our Town in Tottenham), since Community Care right now seems to be doing okay for cereals...

Welp... I did it. I had enough time today, so I went to my store and managed to pick up 51 boxes of Family Sized Cheerios. Worked out pretty much exactly as I planned, but the personal offer rounded UP to 51,000Pts, So.... It was Redeem 210,000Pts AND Earn back 202,000Pts, paying $44.49 In-store for the 51 boxes... So those will be going to my parent's food bank this weekend...

Tried using more than 1 Royale coupon at SDm - what a mess.

Can someone please explain to me the:

one per purchase rule - does the company get "screwed" out of the $$ if a customer buys 3 products and uses 3 coupons that say 'one per purchase"? Should it be on different transactions to avoid auditing and then deny refund of coupon?

@2shopmom I suspect because everything is electronic these days, that several coupons on one purchase could get flagged. Personally I get annoyed when the cashier doesn't accept it.

At shoppers drug mart do they stack the points offers - last time i tried that the receipt said i was awarded the best deal on the points deals???

@WillieP its extremely rare that they stack offers. I think I saw it once, written in the offer that one particular deal could be stacked (on lip-gloss - no thanks).

[barbis9]

no brag here, just an article I read and passed along to one of my adult kids who NEVER checks his receipts after grocery shopping....lol

CHARLEBOIS: Grocery receipt mistakes costing Canadians (msn.com)

@walkonby it surprises me how many people don't check, or can't be bothered to go to customer service. Shoppers seems to be the store that I get the most SCOP deals. They seem to have cut back on staff, and prices are wrong - especially if the same item is in two different spots. Luckily I have an accounting background, so I remember prices, and spot discrepancies often.

Fortinos - spend $75 get 20,000 points on grocery pick up offer - with free pick up for a month (offer was sent in a email), so I stocked up on my San Pellegrino sparkling juices and got 16,000 points (4,000 on each $10) on top of 20,000. I paid using my Cash back Visa so I will get 3%.

SDM - local store was selling canned Friskies seafood supreme for .25 cents each, I bought 7 and went back less than 2 minutes later and the rest were gone. Cesar wholesale bowls were on clearance for $1.25 bought the last 5. Pack of 200 outdoor LED lights $4 each bought 2 as I loved lights in my backyard all year round.

At RCSS today, the last day of the Points Days offer on Kellogg's cereal:

11 x Vector Maple Crunch cereal @ $4.50 each = $49.50
12 x Vector cereal @ $4.50 each = $54.00
5 x Mini Wheats cereal @ $5.99 each = $29.95
for a total of $133.45

earned 55,000 points (5,000/$12.00 spent) = $55.00 value

used coupons:
11 x $2.00 Vector MC (tear-pad) = $22.00
12 x $1.50 Vector (tear-pad) = $18.00
5 x FPC Mini Wheats (Kellogg's promo) = $30.00 (cashier rounded to $30.00)
for a total coupon value of $70.00

5 x $1.25 CheckOut51 = $6.25

$133.45 (cost) - $55.00 (points value) - $70.00 (coupons) - $6.25 (CO51) = $2.20 for 28 boxes of Kellogg's cereal!

I purchased another $120.00 worth of groceries so that, between that and the cereal, I earned an extra 25,000 points for spending over $250.00!

Love these Points Days and so does my local Salvation Army Food Bank!

So what do our fellow couponers mean when they shop at SDM and get bonus points and then points for surprise offer and then personal offer points??

[GoodBoy]

For me a personal offer is what is loaded into my PC Optimum app. So I get points for purchasing certain products.

Bonus points are often in store or in flyer bonuses. So Buy two items get 10000 points for instance.

And the Surprise offer is what they had last weekend and I think this coming weekend. Purchase 60$ worth of goods and get 20000 points (or possibly 30000 points).

When I shopped last Saturday I got bonus points for purchasing two Oral-B brush head packs (10000 points) and with other purchased I spent just over $60 before tax so I was awarded a surprise of 20000 points. Also I had some PC Optimum app loadable personal offers for another 4000 or 5000 points (do not recall not) and then base points at Shoppers on top of that for base price of the items purchased.

All in all I got around 37000 points back for purchasing just over $60.00 IIRC

So what do our fellow couponers mean when they shop at SDM and get bonus points and then points for surprise offer and then personal offer points??

NoFrills
Snap'd crackers in store 1000 points and app offer of 3000 points for each. Also had coupons to use in addition to the points so was a moneymaker that I used towards another product.

[Thatdone]

Price matched 8 packages of Maple Leaf Top Dogs at No Frills for 3.49 each - 3.00 off from the Hauliday deals = .49 each
