Shoppers Drug Mart (ON), Aug 5 - 11

[cyn88canada]

It's true...so many of the same things show up in the flyer week, after week, after week, after week, after....

....wonder if I can get away with linking to previous flyers to avoid uploading them, in future...?


Next: nada...(thought my house was surrounded by zombies then I realized it's just my neighbours who are stumbling around in the heat wave...ugh!)

How to maximize store sales on long weekend-have no flyer in effect on Fri Aug. 4, have one day Saturday special sales, and regular prices on Sunday. Saturday will not be short enough for the staff having to brave the customers.

I saw something online related to Loblaws suggesting it will look for costcutting ways including putting self-checkout stations in Shoppers due to upcoming Ontario minimum wage hikes. Not at Shoppers--that will slow down purchases whenever personal offers, coupons or bonus points days with gift card or other incentives are involved. Unless of course, those bonus point days and incentives happen to jump the wage shark too.

One of the shoppers in my city already has 3 self checkouts and they don't function well at all... too close together and they are meant to be express with a limit of ten items

My usual SDM put in three a few weeks ago. While I've only used them once, it worked fine that time, pretty much the same as the ones I've used at Loblaws, WM et al.

@mizmeg and @Arjon -thank you for sharing the self-checkout stories! I assume the self-checkouts still take cash payments? Or are they strictly electronic payment only affairs?
My local store got renovated last year. I can only foresee the lottery ticket checker and stand being replaced by a self-checkout station and maybe one more next to it by the wall. It is now rare to see more than 1 regular cash checkout open in conjunction with the beauty dept checkout at the front of the store.

Whoops, late reply.

Okay, um, Pampers, right?

$25.99 Pampers
Super Pack Boxed Diapers
Selected Types & Sizes

The picture has a big 3 in the round green circle area. (3 years?), followed by 88 diaper count. Hope that helps, but I think this is another variable size pricing. (I know nothing of diapers, except to stay...far...away...!)

Thanks as always for posting! Can anyone see the Claritin size (count) on the first page that is priced at $24.99?

Regarding self-check out, they have this at the SDM near my work and there are three of them tightly packed together and if I recall, they only took electronic payments. They were not as weight sensitive as the ones at the grocery store as we had a couple items in our hands that we put right into the bag after scanning. This location still has 3 or 4 other check out lanes with people + the beauty counter. There is such little room that I can't imagine using it for anything other than a couple items. I think that's exactly what they are intended for, the customer who comes in to get a bottle of Advil or some emergency diapers, not someone who is doing a points shop or picking up many more items.

Hmm, probably everyone has their paper flyers in hand by now, but just in case you don't:

Claritin: 50's - 70's
Aerius: 30's - 40's
Selected types . While quantities last. No rainchecks.

...and, to noone's surprise, I won't be visiting SDM this week...la la la la la....
