pfft! yeah I also get the sympathetic look from 2 of my adult kids as well when it comes to all things " gadgety ". They just don't understand that when you have not been raised with this stuff it really is like learning a whole new language, and NONE of it makes much sense, thank goodness for smiley emoticons!!

Thanks for the reply! I wish I could use my points to pay...but hear that will mess with the personalized offer points. I printed a Vichy coupon a few months back - the one that didnt have the restriction (save 20$ wus 80$, I think), the only problem is that it printed quite faint and fuzzy, so I dont know if it would be accepted. I will check out the Normaderm products in store..havent used this line yet!

Hi Dahlia,

Can you tell me the prices of vichy normaderm products you saw at sdm? I am thinking about using my offers too. But not sure what products are on sale and which ones are best ones.

you were there to calm the waters! ha ha

Dahlia, not every big brand has everything that's top of the charts. We have to read the reviews for what we want to buy and compare the brands we have access to.
For example, stila'a liquid eye liners (shaped like a marker/pen) are award winners, stila's liquid stay all day lip stick is award winner.
You have to see reviews/ratings on the internet for the products you want to buy. Lancome's eye shadows are very good. Don't worry if you don't know how to apply the eye shadows. Just write down lancome eye shadow palette tutorial on youtube and there you have it! You will see a lot of videos for your guidance, and also its going to take some time too.

Hi Dahlia! How are you? I just want to wish you and your family a very nice long weekend and a Happy Easter with your family. Enjoy, have fun and dont eat to much chocolate.................................

Hi! Thanks for the rep. I'm not sure that Samplesource has the best way to eliminate fraud, but it's a start.

You're in Victoria? I grew up there. Miss it sometimes. Easter weekend here still has patchy snow on the ground and mud everywhere, no grass or plants yet.

Hi dahlia!

We visited victoria last sunday. My brother and his wife and i love victoria. It's just like small Ottawa which was my first city in canada. I love ottawa and victoria. They are BEAUTIFUL.

Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to go to sdm but i had a glimpse of uptown sdm and i was happy that i got to see my fav store from outside. Lol
Hopefully we'll visit victoria again.

yep, me too, I feel now they are being posted not so much to help anyone here but simply to brag for all the wrong reasons.

Thanks for the Normaderm coupon tip!! I'll be going to check that out today for sure! P.S. The rep comment was supposed to say this but my finger got twitchy

Hello there.... No plans for the redemption so far..... Will see what coupons do they send me tomorrow. I have lots of cleaning supplies (kitchen, house hold), toiletries, top brand skin care items..... Hmmmm.... Maybe i am just going to use coupons...


What about you.. Are you planning something? It's always fun to see/hear what others want to do about the redemption. Will anxiously wait for your brags.

by the way i have a question about sdm. I have read on the forums that, in september, sdm offers a deal about buying their gift cards and getting bonus points on them. Do you remember when do they offer such a deal, and what are the rules? How many gift cards do we have to buy to get how many bonus points etc. i am hoping to take advantage of that deal.

and hopefully, this year, they make the same mistake on chocolate as they did last year. Lol

Thanks for the message. Oscar Wilde says so many witty things; I only wish I could be so intelligent and cutting at the same time. Alas, I am not, so I copy. LOL

Oh. I am sorry, my daughter pressed the "post msg" button before i was done with the msg. Lol.

I really want to comment on your sdm shopping skills. You and momi really know the art of shopping at sdm withoust spending too much money, and earn so many points while spending some of them. Amazing job!

Hi dahlia! Now that i am 30 yrs and a few months old, i want to start using retinol containing night creams. Did you ever use retinol containing cream? Do they really work?

Hi dahliagrower. How are you? Where have you been? I dont see your brags/comments as frequesntly as you used to post. Happy super spend your points event! Lol

I dont get mailed sdm coupons but i get the emailed coupons. I dont know how to get those mailed coupons. Oh....how about i call them tomorrow and ask about it? I'll tell you what they say about it!

Hi dahliagrower. I see that you live in bc too. Did you get those sdm door hangers people are talking about on other forums?

Rep thanks! Have a great week!

Just spotted your username on the forum! I love dahlias, my favourite flower!

Happy New Year! Thanks for the poem. Here's to a FRESH start!
