I popped into Shoppers on Christmas Day around 4pm and the gift sets were on half price, but not yet marked! I got my fav Olay set for $19.99 (reg 39.99), Venus gift set $12.49 (reg 24.99) and exclamation gift set $11.99 (reg 19.99). I was so happy as usually I go in Boxing Day and the sets are gone. I had debated using my 20% senior discount earlier this month.

Hi all!
I had some quiet me time and shopped a bit. Finally found the Jean's I wanted at Mark's. Bought 3 pairs to try on at home and will return and re buy the ones I want with gift card.
SDM I spent $85 ( used $75 gc gifted to me so $10 out of pocket and received $25 in PC pts) I got a hand blender and kettle on for $17.99 each regular $44.99. 3 x men's shave gift sets at $9.99 each ( razer alone sells for $21.99) 2 are Christmas 2020 gifts!. 1 roll of nice wrapping paper and 2 gifts for my niece. Everything on boxing day clearance. Then went to a family open house and ate way too much food!! Time for a movie now

Has anyone who uses PC Express noticed a Eco fee on their bill? I was charged .60 cents on my pickup order. It was all groceries which annoys me.
