I think I did well at Shoppers, post 2.

[rayraycanuck]

I appreciated everyone's feedback from my first x20 shop day planned at Shoppers last month, so I thought I would post my first redemption. The Cosmetics redemption bonus they had on this weekend is not my thing but I had enough points to redeem 38K for $60 and still have enough left on hand to keep me in the highest tier.

I ended up using 38K pts / $60, $18.11 out of pocket which $8.39 was tax.

The Shoppers receipt said I saved $ 42.64 based on their sale prices vs regular pricing.

I used a $1 off shoppers email cpn on Crest, and found a Cereal with a red $4 off mgr cpn and also used $45.75 in manufacturers cpns.

Here goes,
2 for $4 Large Cadbury Bars
2 for $4 Natures Organic Soy Bev.
2 Campbell CM soup @ .69
1 PC Paste Marinara Sauce $3.99
1 Kelloggs Granola $6.49 - $4 red cpm =:$2.49 ( has code inside for fpc to send online a.s.a.p)
1 Whiskas Cat Temptations $1 on sale
2 for $1 Carnaby Valentine Candy
4 Quaker Quinoa Granola Bars at $2.49 with
2 Quaker Rice D.P. Rice Crisps @ .99 to use my 2 spend $5 on Quaker products cpns to get 2 FREE Quaker Oatmeal Soft Cookies ( $2.49 each)
1 Crest Pro Health T.P $2.99 - $1shoppers cpn, and -$1 tear pad cpn = .99
1 VH Steamer $2.99 - $1 insert = $1.99
1 Aveeno Body Wash $4.99 and 1 Aveeno Intensive Cream $5.99 minus -$5.00 when UB2 Aveeno products printable from H.E.s
2 Sparkle Scope Mouthwash @$4.99 - BOGO tearpad = $2.49 each

1 PC White Tuna @ $1.79
1 Lindt Valentine 3 Choc. @ .70
1 lrg Neilson Cottage Cheeese @ 2.29
1 Blistex lip balm @ $2.79 - .75 insert cpn.
2 Balance Bars @ $ 1.99 each - B2 save $1 gocpn.
1 Secret Deodorant $2.99 - $1.50 SS print
1 Oil Olay facial toner $6.29 - $2 print

Ah ha, now that I am typing this... some of the extra money. I thought I was very close to 60 minus cpns.
2 Marcelle Facial Wipes for my nieces on the shelve were $9.99 each , minus 2 tearpad $5 off. They rang up at $12.95 each. No biggie. So $7.95 each instead of $4.99 each.

Earned 360 regular points. I looked for products with straight up points but nothing interested me. I wasn't going to use pts / buy 2 extra large Cadbury bars which I like at $6.99 each just to get 1000pts

Thanks to everyone on the S.C. Forums. I really read a lot of threads for hints and learned the value of using coupons on redemption for things I use and need. I think I pushed this with cpns to get an extra $50.75 on top of the $60, strictly on cpns. I guess you could also add the $42.64 saved based on their receipt between regular price and sale but I never give that too much credence as I don't buy a lot of things unless they are on sale. Thanks for reading. ***Edit: After posting and looking what I typed coupons total to products, the Cashier posted an extra orphaned $5 off 2001 vendor cpn **** All pretty much works out in the end.

wow amazing shopping!!! when the facial wipes rang up at $12.99 (higher than $9.99). SCOP or scanning code of practice states that you get an item under $10 for free. If they have different upc codes you get both for free. If item over $10 you get $10 off. Shoppers has alot of wrong prices out there so keep an eye out.

Awesome redemption! And you learnt a lot in a very short time. Good for you!

And i second debvictoria. You should've gotten one pack of wipes for free and one for $9.99. If it's possible can you talk to your sdm that they owe you $12.99. ($10 for the first one and $2.99 for the next one they overcharged!)

But very nice shopping skills and you have a great eye to look for the deals!

First wipe should only have been 299 and the other for the sale price unless it was a different colour or UPC. Then minus your coupons but over all great shop

SCOP states the UPC must match the product. So if you bought a deodorant with upc XXX XXXX XXXX 35 and the shelf tag read OOO OOOO OOOO 62 that is not eligible for SCOP.

Excellent shop, OP. Great use of coupons and sale items to maximize your redemption.

Very nice shop.... On the FPC for the Kelloggs Shakes - is there a max value on the coupon? I've ordered some but haven't received them yet Thanks

On the Marcelle wipes - I bought some a while ago - on sale and then $5 off - and I really like them
