Insulin needles/Senior's days

[Miss Molly]

If I bought insulin needles on a Senior's day would I get the 20% off?

I think the discount depends on what each province allows for medical items to be discounted.
From the Shoppers website regarding Senior's Day -not likely as item could fall under provincially regulated or pharmacy-related transaction.

Update: I bought $44 in syringes tonight along with another product to get over $50 and I got the 20x the bonus points. So whether this works or not on Senior's days, it definitely works for their points program. I'm in Ontario, FWIW. You don't need a prescription for this. Also, if you have a diabetic cat and use syringes that are for people, this a great deal. I ended up spending a bit over $50 and got over 16,000 in points.

My mom used to buy needles on 20x the points days for my dad. Not sure if she tried the seniors discount.

Seeing I'm not diabetic and never have been, I had no reason to know about this.
