I have just over 200,000 points, so want to do two redemptions.
I plan to purchase a gaming system (still undecided to which one - PS4, WiiU, XboX, ugh!) with one and I think a bunch of stocking stuffers with the other one. I live in rural Sask., the nearest store is quite small but I'm going to make do.
What is one everyone else's list?

Ha I came here to start this thread!
I got a Wii U today for a gift (I found it at a store that's closed on the weekend, so does the redemption on Friday). It was on sale for $279.99. I had a crappy personal offer for 1000 points WUS $10, so I got a whole 1000 bonus points on the $80 I paid out of pocket. I will be a hero this xmas. I asked the recipient which system they wanted, so OP maybe you could drop some hints and find out which one the recipient would prefer?
I have enough points for 4 redemptions this year. Will be heading out in a few minutes to get video games at the 24 hour location for my son. With another redemption will be getting high end makeup for my daughter at the mall. Urban decay pallet, and Benifit products. 3rd redemption I let each kid get $50 of what ever they want no judgementsand I buy myself perfume. 2 years ago my son got all candy...lol. The 4th is pretty boring. Groceries, paper towels tide, shampoo.
I'm going nuts this year! I only have 4 family cards I can use so I am limited to 8 redemptions! LOL! I've got everything on there from toys, CO dectectors, to things to wash the kitchen sink and more! Plus I can't sleep as you can tell.....can't wait!
I have enough for 2 $200 and 1 $100 redemptions.
My dd21 will get Hypnotic Poison most likely the 100 ml size for $110 and other than that stocking up on essentials. I've already covered my other daughter(blundstones), my son(food, homemade blanket, starbucks card)and my dd21's long term boyfriend(Itunes card). Nobody else to worry about. Hoping for a nice quiet holiday season.
I haven't really been collecting this year. For some reason I haven't been able to log into my account so I was using DHs card as they e-mail him offers but not me. So I can do a redemption with his card. But the flyer is pretty boring.
I just did my first redemption of the day. I bought Splatoon and Super Smash Bros for WiiU and a Luigi Controller. Added in a can of coffee and some gum to put me over 200.00. I plan on going to a different SDM in the hopes of a 3DS. On a different card, I am going to do two redemptions of various toys and food for Xmas cheer.

I was torn between buying the Splatoon and Super Smash Broa for Wii U on Friday or today.
On Friday, I could use my personalized 20x points coupon when spending over $100, or today with the WiiU being $279 and I get an extra $30 during redemption.
I decided to buy it yesterday, especially since my local SDM said they only had one bundle in stock.
I couldn't find anything else I needed during today's redemption so I'll save the rest of my points😊
I have enough for 2 redemptions plus $30. Absolutely no freezer space so just doing one redemption for a camera for DS and the men's cologne sampler box for my man. Boring. Will save the other redemption for the new year.
I probably will only do 1 x $200 redemption (hopefully lol) consisting mainly of groceries.....this is my opportunity to stock up on canned goods, cheese, butter for Christmas baking, some supplements, greeting cards and a few stocking stuffers. Sounds boring, but I am pretty happy & grateful that it's not coming out of my pocket.
Just did 2 redemptions on Senior's day. Took only 20 minutes in the beauty dept! Christmas gifts.
My son is moving into an apartment next week. About time, he's almost 40.
So I'm taking him to spend the last $200 on misc things he'll need. Toilet paper, cooking supplies,.....
He's already 'shopped' from my supply at home.
And this will wipe out my points!:bawling:
Koolaid, I hope that after you catch up on your sleep, you'll post the details of your shop.Quote:

Was busy today but popped into SDM but didn't do a shop. Trying to decide if I should do a $100 shop tonight or wait and see if we get another bonus redemption later. So uninspired by the pickings and I don't buy makeup there
Usually i do $200 redemptions but only had enough for $100 today.
But always so happy for $100 worth of free stuff!!
Got some baking stuff for making xmas cookies, household toiletries, PC shrimp ring, and enough for some awesome christmas stocking stuffers (joe fresh earrings, fancy chocolates, avene lip gift pack, anabelle eyeliner (a 2 for 1 pack for which i also had a smart source $4 off coupon) i normally wouldn't get!
Did my first ever redemption today! Did a $200 one...Clinique charcoal mask, Clinique sonic face wash, Clarins Blue Orchid Oil, L'air du Temps for my mom for Christmas, an epilator/trimmer (used a $10 Smartsource coupon(, a Marcelle gentle gel face wash and something else I can't remember! Did another $100 redemption...John Varvatos 4 pack of 0.5 oz cologne, Aveeno gift pack, can use some of it to give to coworkers for Christmas, chips, a toblerone bar and mac and cheese. I think I did good! I thought I'd be there for an hour. 1hr, 45 minutes later...

I am all done redeeming for the day. 8 redemptions in total. I did two that were electronics. 2 Wii U games, a controller, and a 3DS. One that was cosmetics....Benefit Party Set, Pure Minerals trial set, 12 Revlon HD lipsticks and glosses because they are on for 6.99 and I still have the 7.00 off wub2 coupons, Biore strips, face masks, Organix shampoos, etc. Lots of teenage girls in my life.
I did three that were entirely food for donation
. We do a bunch of Christmas hampers.
2 for us that were mostly food. My son and his girlfriend are poor students so we supply them with groceries.
The last redemption was totally frivolous. I got a couple of books, part of my work Xmas party gift(adult colouring books) a whole bunch of Stila make up because it was on clearance, some shrimp rings and mozzarella sticks, 2 cans of coffee, and 4 boxes of kkups, Salon Pas patches for my RA, etc.

My redemption would fall under the category of boring condiments. 4 TP, 6 fruit by the foot, 5 marshmellows, 2 crackers, 4 hot chocolate mixes, 5 fettuccine, 16 tuna, 4 tabasco sauce, 3 frank's sauce, pickles, 4 salad dressings, 6 Kelloggs shakes, 4 diet coke
Christmas candy- 2 jelly beans, 4 toblerone, PC Suisse chocolate bar, Maynards
Other person is more of the boy's night in: Energizer Charger, 5 DVD, 2 carnaby candies, 8 chips, 5 pizzas and 4 diet pepsi
After 3 hours in the week of me putting items on hold and writing down prices, 2 hours of planning and finding coupons,1 hour of last minute shopping, 2 1/2 hours of checkout, and 1 hour of putting items away and I still have more to pick up when they come in (I was a good girl and didn't clear shelves...lol) I managed 20 minutes in the hot tub till the kids and hubby started where's dinner and I managed 6 hours of sleep till my brain was like....you have to do the surveys on your receipt!!! LOL!!! I forgot to take a photo this year but if you close your eyes you can imagine the entire back of a pick up truck filled with toilet paper, cascade, toys, canned goods, teachers gifts, deodorant, toothpaste, greenworkds, razors, barley, flour...the list goes on and on.Quote:

-so happy to be able to do this when your income is limited at this time of year -thank you shoppers love this store
I did a redemption but due to some issues with things coming up the right price etc, the clock hit midnight and the bonus went away. The store also closes at midnight so only one cash and while we we were fixing our orders me and the other person redeeming let others go ahead. :( Now I have to go back Monday to get it fixed.
Did 7 x$200. I was just too tired to post yesterday, My DH help me with the first 6 of them and did the last one on my own. I kept 3 for the Boxing Day sales.
We had fun as the store was not overly busy. The cashiers were great and everything run smoothly. Stocked up on food, drinks, frozen stuff, vitamines, gifts, shampoo, books, TP, tissue, cat food and treats, etc.
The last shop is not in the photo. Some gifts are not there as well as I did not want the kids to see some of the things I got for them.
I feel a bit sad that my million points is now depleted.Attachment 299386
I ended up doing three separate $100 redemptions at three stores.
1. Basic foods (eggs, butter, cheese milk, juice, pizzas, coffee), household items (paper towels, fabric softener, tissues), stocking stockers of body washes, lip balms, chocolate and one of the Dessange hair treatment products. Total $117.49 so paid $17.50. Got rebates for Bounty $1.50 (C51) and Dessange $7.50 (Snap) + $5 (Zweet). Out of Pocket = $3.50
2. Holiday Appetizers - this SDM had lots of the PC Insiders frozen appetizers and desserts so stocked up the freezer. 1 Shrimp Platter, 2 Coconut Shrimp, 2 Mozzarella Sticks, 1 Thai Chicken Curry, 1 Tortilla & Jalapeno cheese sticks, 2 Mini cheesecake cupcakes (Yum!). Plus some chocolate milk and a christmas toy and a Santa sweater for my dog :dog:. Total $105.57, Out of Pocket $5.60
3. Promised my daughter I'd take her to get some new makeup so off to a different SDM which we love as the beauty boutique girls are awesome. She picked up the Smashbox contour set plus some other cosmetics while I got my Smashbox eyeliner I wanted and didn't buy during all the other Smashbox shops this past week. This beauty boutique gave us a goody bag filled with lots of samples so we are fighting over who gets what! 3 Perfumes (Alien, Marc Jacobs, RiRi by Rihanna), Lancome coverage concealer, Strivectin serum (7ml) plus a Glycolic Peel primer + activator, Clarins eye concentrate, Neostrata eye cream, Biotherm night cream and a Lise Watier 3ml Age Defying Serum. Total $118.62, Out of Picket $18.60.
Overall $28 out of pocket.
I am not near as organized as BargainSeeker LOL I did 6 redemptions for myself, and gave 95k points to my DS and his wife to do on their own time. I don't know about you all, but I was soooooooo exhausted last night, even though I was totally prepared, it took me 5 hours and 4 stores to get everything on my list (with a few extras) I thought I was well behaved with my makeup shopping, but once i got home and put it all together, not so much :cheesygrin: managed to fill a large shopping bag with it all .....on the plus side, I only bought ONE bottle of nail polish!!!! Now I get to spend the next week reorganizing storage spaces :)

All I wanted was their 43" LG TV which they started selling last weekend. On Thursday I started calling SDMs if they had any in stock, only one place had 2 in stock, all other places sold out last weekend. I knew those 2 units would be gone by Saturday and didn't want to risk it so I did a regular redemption on Thursday for the TV and paid the rest in SDM gift cards. I did get a bonus 4,000 pts back, but I had another digital offer for 22,000 pts back(WUS $100) if I bought it on Friday(which I couldn't because I worked all day), Im going to call SDM HO and maybe they can give me that extra 18,000 pts, if not im still glad I got the TV.
