$30 Activia Lawsuit Cheque = $14.00 in PC Plus Points + Sally Ann Donation

[Shwa Girl]

Loblaws shop:

Step 1. Deposit $30.00 Activia cheque (from the lawsuit) in PC Financial in store bank machine.

Step 2. Buy PC Plus deals:
Country Harvest Bread, $3 and 1000 PC Plus points.
But wait, there's more.
Country Harvest Bread is pink stickered (50% off): $1.50 spent and 1000 points earned.

Deli platter of veggies $14.99
But wait, there's more.
Deli platter of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, cukes and ranch dressing is pink stickered (50% off). Earned 2000 points for deli platter and bagged salad (spend $10, earn 2000 points, personal PC Plus offer)

Campbell's beef broth, $1.67 and 200 PC Plus points.
But wait, there's more.
Campbell's products personal PC Plus points offer= ADDITIONAL 600 points for each purchase

Step 3. Pick up rest of groceries and looks for favourite cashier(s) to check out.
Step 4. Cashier scans PC Plus card, processes groceries, and is in awe of the $14 in points earned
Step 5. Earn PC Points for using 3 reusable bags (50 points per bag, I think)
Step 6. Use $0.26 in Auto Cash (from Your Independent Grocer gas bar)
Step 7. Donate some groceries to in store Sally Ann food bank.
Step 8. Brag on SC website.

Total, with other groceries = $40.xx
PC Plus points earned = $14.00
Total OOP after Activia lawsuit cheque and Autocash = $9.xx
$14.00 in PC Plus Points - $9.00 OOP = $5 ahead in savings!

Thanks.
I wanted the Country Harvest bread deal but thought I would have to wait until Wednesday when they reduce the bread. Surprised to find many loaves in the reduced bread bakery section.

Cute post! (and great brag )
I didnt know about the PC pts for bringing in your own bags...is this new? I just checked a few of my receipts and no 'bag pts' show up, even though I always bring my own. Do you need to tell the cashier when you give your PC plus card? How many points do you receive for reusable bags?

Points for bags has been in effect since Loblaws group of stores started selling their black PC bags, back in the day. Works for the green bins too.

Also Target = $0.05 off your bill for each bag you reuse.
Same with Giant Tiger.

Step 5. Earn PC Points for using 3 reusable bags

Is this a thing? I've never seen this before at my store (Loblaws).

Sidenote, love step #8!

Does not have to be a PC black reusable bag. Can be any that you have brought with you. Bags or bins.

Program works at No Frills, Zehrs, Fortinos, Loblaws, YIG, etc. If the cashier doesn't know the code, tell them to call customer service desk (One cashier tried that excuse on me once. She did not try it the next time.)

Love the "but wait there's more" lines and the drummer smiley!

As for the money for reusing bags program-it's not really at work here in Fortino's land. Initially, the cashiers did apply a credit for bags you brought in but then faded (I did ask about it), around the same time that cashiers started to hesitate about bagging if they saw or anticipated customers would bag their own purchases. Not sure how the bag credit would work at self-checkout-may ask at a store soon.

Yes. Loblaws has been doing this for forever. Even Galen Weston did his commercials about these bags.

Thanks for the comment about Step#8

About Step#4,

Step 4. Cashier scans PC Plus card, processes groceries, and is in awe of the $14 in points earned

Just to let you know, I profile cashiers.

I have no patience for ornery cashiers with bad attitudes who don't know about codes and PC Plus and "the steps". I stood in line with one of my favourite cashiers. The not-so-nice cashier, with nobody in her line, yelled for me to come over and I yelled back at her, with a smile, that I was fine where I was

OMG I have done that too, waited in line for Glinda rather than the wicked witch

Yes!
We all should only deal with Glinda the Good Cashier, for customer service!!
Some of the guys are good too

[coupon girl]

we do have the most of the same points products -awesome points -but I as told at fortinos that you don't get pc points for my own bags-unless you have their credit card or p.c debit card

[Shwa Girl]

but I as told at fortinos that you don't get pc points for my own bags-unless you have their credit card or p.c debit card

Yes. You are right. The bag PC points (regular PC points) started before PC Plus deals. The bag points work when you have a PC debit or a PC credit card. You get more PC points when you use a credit card.
That's why I did Step#1, depositing the cheque first. So the PC Master Card will be paid in a couple of days when the cheque clears

Sorry to hear about Fortinos.
About bagging your own groceries, I like to do it. Some cashiers put heavy items on top of eggs when they bag groceries. Some squish bread.

And some are good:
