I just hope that the pharmacy records will be centralized now under Loblaws. I tried to get a prescription at a new Shoppers and they didn't even have me on file. I had to go back to the old SDM where I used to live in order for the records to stay up to date.
That doesn't sound like counselling services, catching mistakes, etc. to me?
I think Rexall will struggle too. How to compete with Canada's retail juggernaut. You can't.

Optimum will be safe for the short term, but eventually will change to PC points, i'm sure.
OPtimum is great, but I definitely have cut back on purchases the past year after the points stealing scandal.
PC points is not a great program. All my banking is PC, and 99% of my shopping is at Loblaws stores, and i don't have near the same value of points I would have from SDM for the same amount of shopping.
One thing, SDM has totally proven itself to be a badly run company the past couple of years. They did nothing but snub customers in so many ways. the bigwigs at SDM deserve to be replaced.In 2020 I had 100 FREE Grocery pickups! Subscribe to PC Optimum Insiders & get 25,000 PC Optimum pts

Not good news. I just adjusted to the Optimum Program. But I am not worried about some changes because I will learn from you guys. We will share experience and give advise to each other. I am sure we can find the way how to survive in this unpredictable world of shopping. Should I stock up on SDM brands?

I'd say Mr. Next Generation Weston is wanting his peer group to do more shopping at his stores. He's chasing a crowd he grew up with and now wants their shopping $$$. I wonder if that means dropping No Name items from the Loblaws grocery/Fortino's/RCSS stores and keeping them strictly in No Frills.
I think the pharmacists located in Loblaws owed stores must be wondering for their job security as well.2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.

You can't fault the guy for making money. Anytime you walk into a Loblaws owned store you are lining his pockets. We've all done it.

Don't forget buying Weston bakeries products! Wonder Bread, D'Italiano, Ace Bakery, Country Harvest. It is called WESTON bakeries for a reason. Ever noticed you can't find Dempsters products in Loblaws stores? (I've never found them, anyway, and I've looked specifically). Dempsters is Canada Bread, which is owned by Maple Leaf Foods (the McCains).
George Weston bakeries owns Loblaws. http://www.weston.ca/en/Home.aspx.Last edited by torontogal12; Tue, Jul 16th, 2013 at 02:09 PM.

I personally don't think we will. What was the promo at Loblaws last week? Something like "Spend $100, get free Tide?" Can someone correct me?
The $10 off $50 is 20%. The free Tide WUS $100 is 5% (if it is the small jug of Tide that goes for $4.99, don't know the size it was)
