@flemeth , sorry to hear that. Happened to me before. I asked the cashier if there was someone stocking the dairy cooler with eggs. A guy came out from the back 5 minutes later with a cartload of eggs.

I did ask but said there was not.

I got the egg offer on both our cards today . Will make sure I am there at opening so I can get to used both offers

[My two Canadian cents]

I received a offer for one free carton of No Name large white eggs at Loblaws. First time I've gotten this offer. It's been months since I've shopped at Loblaws. I've bought eggs at Shoppers Drug Mart before, but never at Loblaws.

Any super-duper Bonus Redemptions of PC Optimum points to share on the forum this week?

[Ciel21]

I do have a gift card promotion if I were to buy one of four gift cards at Fortinos but they are not the ones I am keen on. Expires tomorrow-check your accounts in case you have a store-specific PC Optimum offer.

Is it just me, and my wife, or have the PCO Offers deteriorated during the pandemic, to the point that it's almost not worth the bother to even look at them anymore?

In our case we're getting only 1 or 2 items that we might need to buy, and often savings about to 200 pts. or $0.20.
Gone are the days when we would routinely see 200pts/$1 on Fresh Beef or Fresh Chicken, and big pts offering on paper products. eg. Sponge towels, BT, etc. I have gotten Fresh Pork a couple of times recently, but that's it for meat.

Back in the day we'd see 20+ offers most weeks.... for months now we both see maybe 4 or 5, plus a couple I might carry over week to week waiting for a staple to come on sale. Interested to know if others are also experiencing this sad decline in the PC Optimum program ?

@Pointsman I agree with you 100% between myself And DH we hardly get any good offers as for the Fresh poultry it’s been over a year I haven’t see that one. So you are not alone .

[Pointsman]

Thanks for your input, flemeth; it's too bad the offers have declined so much, both in quantity and quality over time. For the last few years, we've redeemed our points exclusively for LCBO Gift Cards, to purchase higher end Single Malts, say $75-$100 range, that I would not ordinarily buy. So the good news out of all this is that we're drinking less.

I just want to know if I am the only one experiencing that in sdm and maxi and cie...when I have fpcs (rarelly) I try to take most of it and make points but now they enter the coupons as a 0 $ not the amount of the coupons so I cannot have my p oints....very annoying.

[cath007]

and as for the less offers and decline of offers I totally agree 100% no more offer on cheese and meat and charcuterie like i used to have it on regular basis and we still purchase them very often...so now it is so difficult to make points and redeem..

[Ciel21]

I get a combination of produce offers or offers related to what I purchased a day or two before new offers day plus some random personal care offers, the occasional book/magazine or gift card offer and those promotional offers on flavoured cereals or beauty products I don't use. Then the Esso points offer (I have not bought gas there since last year but who knows? The mower might need it.)
Usually about 7-10 personal offers ahead of the special or Esso ones. Not including those Friday only or weekend only bonus points offers (seldom redeemed because I have not won Lotto Max in the millions...)

Got $1.79 eggs and $1.99 Wonder bread for the weekend.
