Shoppers Personalized coupons - sucking lately?

[Minou]

I got 20x wus $50, 2000 points on any coffee, 2000 points on any tp, $3.99 for a 4L milk, $1.99 for eggs, $2.00 off any cereal, 800 points on Simply food seeds nuts, or trail mix. I don't quite understand why Shoppers is doing this -- I'm often getting the 8,000 on $30 food/snacks, which makes it easy to shop there for milk/food on sale. Cereal will be almost free this week, and they really won't be making anything after giving me nearly $4 back on each of coffee and toilet paper. I notice it with the Superstore PC Plus offers, too... they're giving me points on things I normally buy anyway -- shouldn't the offers be enticing me to make extra purchases rather than giving me points on onions, tomatoes, cereal, juice boxes, and Goldfish crackers that I normally buy anyway? I mean, I benefit, but I wonder how this can be profitable, and how long this is going to last. They're just making it easier for me to shop at a couple of places each week for usual items and reap significant rewards at low spending levels. I don't think it necessarily causes me to spend more at the store.

I actually like getting those because I can't make it on Saturdays generally and can go whatever day I want and still get the deal

Lecale: it's like when u get the 20x on a weekend that already has the 20x the points.

While it may not be the case for you, I think PC is hoping that by consistently offering you a couple things you will use, that you will do all your grocerie$ there at their inflated prices.

My personalized coupons actually do suck this week, and on the app I don't have any. Wonder if they're already getting rid of those? Regardless, I got them in my email. I got:

18500 wus $75 (would have LOVED to use this as it's better than 20x but many of the things I purchased today were Saturday only specials, and as the 18500 would have been added later I know I wouldn't have received them )
$1 off any Crest (no good sale, and I already have $1 off manufacturer coupons, which won't combine)
20x WUB Royale facial tissue (already 20x today)
20x WUB Chips Ahoy cookies (already 20x)
$3.77 any Neilson 4L milk (the store I did my shop at didn't carry the Trutaste, so I only saved 20 cents with this)
$4 off Pampers (I don't have kids but bought a pack for my sister recently which is why I'm assuming I got this offer)
500 bp for any Lay's chips (couldn't combine with 20x, and don't need/want chips right now)

I wish they could make it where on promo days you could opt out of their promo in order to use personalized coupons if they work out to be a better deal for you.

I rec'd some personal coupons via snail mail last week.

One of my coupons states receive 800 pts when you purchase any Everyday Market brand butter or margarine(this is on the front), the back of the coupon states purchase one qualifying regular price and receive second qualifying product of equivalent or lesser value free. I wonder if this is a buy one get one free or if it is buy one get 800 pts.,
Anyone else have a personalized coupon with different wording on the front than the back?

Here are the other coupons I rec'd with this package:

BOGO FREE any life brand cough and cold remedy
BOGO FREE any Cadbury chocolate bar
4.00 off ensure 6 pack
2.00 off any cottonelle bathroom tissue
1.00 off any crest toothpaste 76ml & up
400 pts. when purchasing any twizzlers licorice
20x pts. on any Royale facial tissue 6 pack & up
20x pts. on any Carleton greeting card
20x pts. when you spend 50.00 or more on almost anything in store.

These all expire Apr. 14 2014

Interesting! I've never had that before.

What I would suggest is to pick up 2 and have the cashier test the coupon out - you'll either get 800 points and can return one, or you'll get 2 for the price of 1.
