What did you redeem for on the weekend?

[Frugalbigmama]

Curious on everyone's hauls!

I had a hard time redeeming one time. Spent almost 2 hours in my crappy store. Saving my last 2 redemptions for after Christmas hoping to get lots of deals on clearance.

I redeemed $170.00 (subtotal was $171.57 plus $14.28 in tax)

4 x Royale TP
Paper towel
Blistex
2 x eggs
lipstick for me
Face scrub for me
Leadbetter Sausage
Pintys chicken
Olay Holiday gift pack in bag (for Grandma)
2 x diapers (gift)
Dove Shampoo/condition combo pack (me)
2 x Doritos (kids stocking)
2 x Christie crackers
2 x Cool Water gift sets (gifts)
3 x chocolate milk
2 x chocolate chips

A few gifts, a few treats and household and food. Happy with my little haul even though it was very time consuming!

Christmas presents: electric heating pad, remote control car, lego tape, Nom Nums, Dove Men and Axe sets, Rubix Cube set, 2 wii U games, chocolates, snowball makers,
eggs, cream cheese, tostitos, gingerale, condensed cream, hashbrowns, eggos, breyers, coffee cream, chocolate milk, egg nog, crackers, pudding, starbucks frap drinks, chicken strips, broccoli, pop, nutella, reese pb, onion soup mix, oil, ketchup, tylenol, toilet paper, vitamins, gel, deodorant, hair spray, shaving cream, razor blades, eye shadow, shampoo, mascara, socks, straws, juice boxes.

I found it easy to spend $850! Wish I would have done 1 more. I have a feeling this will be our last bonus redemption at this effective rate. ($248/95000 pts)

I’m super happy with my redemptions!
I did 2 previous to this weeked with my moms seniors discount on a Nintendo Switch and 3 games.

Then I had 2 more full and an $85 for this weekend.

I got 2 mascara samplers, and a cologne sampler. That was one gone ‘poof’

Then I did another on a Marley speaker and some prestige face care for my daughter. Another one gone.

My final $85 one was spent on stocking stuffers.

Thank you Shoppers Drug Mart!!

I just redeemed for $85 too-boring things like Tide, dental floss and food and then some chocolate for Xmas-although we started on it last night-lol.

I redeemed 95,000 and got Royale toilet paper, Bounty paper towels, Kraft peanut butter, lipstick, Smashbox makeup primer, Neutragena shampoo, and cleanser, Breathe Right strips, etc. It sure does not take long to spend the $170!

[mulock]

I redeemed 95,000 points for $170, primarily for staple-items for the household (and only items that were on sale).

[Frugalbigmama]

Love the picture! I wanted to do the same but had to hide stuff as I brought it in the house

I did one redemption for $170, and am really happy with it.

Kobo Aura 2 reader - This item was reason I did redemption on Saturday instead of Sunday when Kraft peanut butter was on sale. My store had only received 2 of these, so it's good I was there just after opening on Saturday.
Finish tabs (will do MIR)
Dove mousse
Aussie shampoo and conditionner
LB vitamin D drops
LB glycerin soap
CH bread
PC biscuit tin
Mini Wheats
Royale tissues
Always pads


The Kobo is for me. I have a Kobo mini that I got with a redemption 4.5 years ago, so wouldn't have paid $ for a new one, but this new one has a lit screen, so will be good when reading in a hotel room or in the evenings. I've already used it, and am quite happy with it.

Everything else that I bought (except the biscuits for dh) was on my list of things I need and all but the soap was was on sale, so I am happy with my haul.

Oh, and this week, it was my turn to get the 3 crappy SDM personal offers. Was disappointed, as it means I didn't earn any points on my redemption. But I will get money back with the Finish MIR, so can't really complain.

No redemption for me this weekend! I racked up a lot of extra points with SDM's Black Friday offers and I plan to continue earning points until February 1 when I can use all those points at RCSS and other PC grocery stores!

[sirandrewr]

I did 2 $170 redemptions and shopping buddy did 3 $170
The first one was basically matching up coupons with sales for food, hygiene and cleaning products. The second one was clearance items, condiments, chocolate and other food items on sale that I wouldn't otherwise pay cash for.
Shopping buddy did electronic items 3 times.
I noticed that the store I shopped at had less variety of items then normal.

[torontogal12]

Had to drive around to 3 stores to get enough to redeem. Was annoying but did get a lot of stuff we needed

Fancy face cream for mom
Google Home Mini (Christmas gift) was on sale for $39.99, which is about half price
Eggs
Juice
meat

money adds up fast when you're buying ground beef and chicken

Same for me! Although the 40,000pts back is very tempting, I find it nearly impossible to spend $170 on stuff that is not just on sale, but on sale at (or very near) the lowest price somewhere else, over the months ahead. eg. Bounty paper towels @ $4.99. But if you need em now that's a different story. and it makes sense for Christmas gift buying especially items like that Google Home mini at $39.99 [recently was $79 everywhere].

We pretty much do only small dollar shops at SDM, when those nice 8,000pt wus $30 offers come around (had a few of those in recent weeks), and then only get staples, that are on sale or same price as elsehere eg. milk, eggs, oj, coffee, soup, etc.

We're close to RCSS, so with more than $300 (converted value) in my SDM account, I'll wait till Feb1, then do our usual small order [$20-$40] maximizing price matching and deep discount sale items only; at the same time, I'll get a Gift Card [so many choices) and redeem equivalent points.

Later, we'll use the gift cards for those nice 50% off sales at stores like Marks, and for things we're not likely to buy for cash. like that special $75 bottle of single malt. For us, that definitely maximizes our ROP [return on points].
