Yes you are right @collegekid
My not so big shop this weekend was 3 boxes of Kellogg's Muslix cereal, sale $3.99 - $2 manager's stickers (September expiry) = $1.99 x 3 = $5.97. 3k points wus $10 on food ($5.36 @ regular 95k redemption) so almost free.

My plan worked! Spent about $12.xx OOP after redemption, mainly taxes, and DM got lots of household stuff she needed plus some perfume. Most items were on sale but I didn't have any coupons as I left them at home (visiting family in another province for a couple weeks). DM and DF were a bit flabbergasted at the plan I concocted, especially to get 18500 pts back! Factoring in the "you saved" value, these items would have cost about $177.xx taxes in regular price, so $12.xx and 31500 pts seems like a pretty good deal even without coupons. I was just glad to treat my mom because I have so many points accumulated and don't really need anything at the moment!
If I wasn't so darn busy... I'd love to do a big long post on how I faired during the redemption weekend... But honestly my receipts are so darn long It would be an exercise in futility just trying to take pictures of them. :lol:
But I did 5 x 200 dollar redemptions.... :twisted:
Filled my car completely 2 times over... That's every Inch of space in the truck, the back Passenger area floor and seats....
Then on my 5th redemption I went and got the Samsung TV (third trip in the car) just cause I wanted one. My son and brother helped out unloading the car both times and My wife just about strangled me, cause litterally everything filled the Kitchen, and the dinning room. Were talking Counter space, Floor space, dinning table space and dining room floor space.
Some how we stuffed every square inch of fridge and freezer space.. and thank the lord we have an unusual amount o cupboard space to pill it all into.
So yea.. WOW.. I was shopping for 4 hours. Then I visited 2 other Shoppers looking for a TV... I was right puckered out. Did I mention it was 33 degree's that day? The 4th load or final load of groceries was the Frozen and refridgerated goods, popcycles didn't melt. Woot! :biggrin:
So yeep, that's about it. each of the 4 grocery receipts showed savings ranging from 150 to 190 dollars... and the out of pocket expense was about 3 to 20 bucks in taxes.
What boggles my mind even more is I somehow earned over 40000 points... and I already have a another 97000 points ready to go. (which I'm thinking I should use at my earliest possible chance? but what to buy).
Okay chow for now. :excited:
That is crazy awesome...teaching the family too!!??!!
Poobah!! That is crazy awesome...teaching the family too!!??!!
Wow, you can shop with me any day Poobah. If you and I teamed up we'd be unstoppable, lol.
I knew I read this somewhere. The shoppers terms and conditions for points redemptions states the following:
25. Shoppers Optimum Points can only be redeemed if the required point redemption level is acquired prior to the redemption transaction. An individual Shoppers Optimum Member may not make more than two redemptions, at any reward level, within one day. Only one redemption is available per transaction.
I wonder if the system has changed since they went mobile :) Would love to do multiple redemptions near Christmas ;)
Oh come one, what else you bought! I would love to know!
