Update Your Shopper's Profile for 2000 Points

Starting Saturday Jan 18 you can get free points just for logging in and updating your Shoppers Optimum profile. Just go to the Optimum website here . Log in to your account and make sure your address and email are correct. Then enter the code 0114 and you will get 2000 optimum points! We have 4 cards(one for each person in our family, so that's 8000 points!) I like getting the weekly emails from them because the offers personalized to me can be quite good. How much are 2000 points worth? Well, if you wait to cash in until 95000 points are worth $220. Then these points are worth $4.63....not bad for a few minutes work!

PC PLUS POINTS PROGRAM now in the West!

The Amazing Sky!


Well, exciting news! PC Points Plus program has finally come to our neck of the woods! I am so glad! I have been watching this program for months now as it was first released out east. What it is is a free points program at Superstore. Just go into Superstore and get your free card, you don't need to have a PC bank card or PC Mastercard to participate. You can also download the app on your tablet or smart phone. You get offers sent to your app or email each week. All you do is show your card at checkout at the start of cashing out and your points are added. If I understand correctly you can only do one of each offer per PC card, so you can get the produce 5000 points and the pizza 5000 points and any of the other offers, but only one time. I was in the store today and learned this was incorrect. You can do the offers as many times as you want, but all in one shop, or receipt. Maybe you can have more than one card per household?
This week's flyers have some good ones! I like that that their point to money ratio is easy to figure out(unlike Shoppers!) 1000 PC points = $1

Free Starbucks Coffee for Earth Day

Today at Starbucks if you bring in your reusable cup they will fill it for free with freshly brewed coffee in support of Earth Day!

This is my favorite Thermos  I got it last year at a garage sale for $1. It seems that coffee gets hotter throughout the day! Love!
I had a mishap this winter. I left my lovely Thermos on the floor by the wood stove. The cup cap shown in this picture was not on, just the drinking lid. It has a plastic button you push in order to get a sip. Well, seems the wood stove really throws off the heat as it melted the button.... :(
So, I will be on the hunt for another one of these this garage sale season!

Free Kindle Books

So, this morning I made some muffins. Blackberry ones. I think I even bought the blackberries from an organic source. Then I went one step further to making my muffins super healthy, I forgot the sugar! Well, after pouring honey all over our muffins, I started thinking of recipes and that lead me to remember I wanted to share this great website with you!
It's called Hundred Zeros and it's a gathering of free Kindle Books. (I don't have a Kindle, but use the app on my iPad)These are books that you'd find on Amazon if you knew where to look. I signed up for the emails and I get an email every time new books are available. This is just some of the recipe books available, but they have all sorts of categories to choose from. 

Look Lynn, a Kale recipe book! Won't your kids be happy!
Happy reading!

 I was reading the deals section in Smart Canucks and came across a post by Poodlegirl. Thanks!
 I was brave again!(It's never a pleasant experience as they seem to have taught their staff to treat couponers with disdain.)
I stopped in at London Drugs today. They have Palmolive on 3/$5 or $1.79 each all week. There were coupons from an insert for $1 off and because they have 2 different bar codes, you can stack them at London Drugs. I had to pay the tax, which was .60 for these 3. .20/bottle isn't bad!

SCOP at Shoppers!

I got a couple of things at Shoppers this weekend.
The Kotex were $2.49(limit 4) and I had $2 WUB2 coupons. (from the Smartsource in the paper this wekend)
            Making them $1.49 each.
The eggs were on for $2.29.
The Old Spice was buy 2/$5 and I had the P&G coupon for $3 off WUB2
So this should have been $1 each.
I was careful to buy the correct one that matched the coupon and had the 2/$5 sale
sticker below it on the shelf.
When I finished a the till I took my purchases to the car and reread my receipt(always a good idea!)
I was surprised to find the Old Spice rung in at $4.49 a piece! So, $8.98 was charged!
Thankfully my guy is the ultimate in patient and he happily waited while I went back in.
I went back to the same teller and showed her my receipt. She said she had to check the shelf.
  She came back and said yes, I was correct and she would adjust the price. (She was very friendly throughout all of this!)
I asked her if she would be giving me one free and I showed her the Scanning Code of Practice
that was displayed above her till. She said she hadn't done that before and called her manager.
The manager came and corrected the price and gave me one free. So, for 2 Old Spice deodorant I was paid
.21(after tax) to buy them!

This cereal was $3.99 and I had a $2 off coupon that Kashi mailed me.
I learned(you probably already know this) that feminine products are only 5%(GST)taxed.
The deodorant is 12%(HST)
My grand total was $12.82
