I never really believed in Secret Santa but now I do, his alias name is poobah:
Dear Secret Santa,
I have been very good this year and a little bit naughty. I'm hoping for a Samsung Galaxy and understand you have stockings full of points to share and spend. Here's hoping I'm on your good or bad list, I'm not fussy.
Cheers,
Santa (poobah) believer!
Wow that is a very generous gesture we shall call him Saint @Poobah
I just redeemed once for $210.00 (Paid $18 for tax out of pocket) Will save my points for a January stock up. Think I did well:
Eggs
milk
crackers
yogurt
lip gloss
macara
cologne sample pack
2 SONY alarm clocks (SCOP- Rang in wrg price)
Steak (will be a nice weekend treat on bbq with kids 2 dinners :))
Lean ground beef
Chocolate for a few gifts
case of pop
toilet paper
Kleenex
chips and smartfood :)
That's all I can think of.
I did two redemption at the $105.00 level because of a black Friday special.
#1 - Two Benefit Christmas Tins (approx $210 in product value :) ) $100 Retail + $60 Stilla Palette (manager special: 20% off, plus this shoppers started the bonus redemption on Friday and had a special $20 off $100 purchase for Black Friday) I paid approx $37 OOP taxes inc.
#2 - Grocery items and $50 Stilla Palette - Paid $27.70 OOP taxes inc. I was wanting to do more groceries on this trip, but the store didn't have a great selection left when I got there on Saturday afternoon, so I purchased a Stilla palette for my DSIL :)
Pretty happy since I find this makeup rarely goes on sale, and the Christmas tins are such a great value :)
I did 4.5 redemptions over the last week,
Trans 1 - Electronics Sale Weekend, Seagate backup drive and Sony Sound Bar
Trans 2 - Midweek, half a redemption to get items I didn't want to risk not getting on the Mega Redemption (Nintendo 3ds Pokemon Omega Rugy, Quo blending sponges and an advent calendar) and then added groceries all on sale and using sdm and manufacturer coupons
Trans 3 - Benefit and Stila cosmetics and Clinique skin care
Trans 4 - Smashbox and Clinique cosmetics, Korres Body Butter, Quo brush cleaner, reading glasses, magazines, old spice, lindor chocolates and a pile of groceries on sale (with 8k back for skin care)
Trans 5 - Smashbox, Dior and Stila cosmetics with $16 in groceries.
Between Shoppers, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I'm almost done for Christmas. I have 2.5 redemptions left, may use another half before Christmas, especiallly if I find meat like Frugalbigmamma :)
Dh and I did 3 & 1/2 redemptions this weekend - but just wanted to mention that 1 of the 3 Shoppers in our town (Bowmanville) sells the Cowboy steaks, burgers, sausages, chicken breasts, ground beef and peameal bacon. They have better selection through the summer and the price is definitely high but great items to redeem for or get points on!
wow...clearly I am not working this points program too well. Took me *years* (and I am ashamed to say how many) to get to the 95k level. I didn't participate in this weekend's redemption because I was just too overwhelmed lol
Will eventually need to spend my points before the program ends in 2016...someone help me spend my points!!!! :)
