Thursday is Seniors’ Day at Shoppers Drug Mart. This means you get 20% off all products in store. This time you also get a $10 gift card with the purchase of $50 or more 🙂
This event is usually the best time to buy an iPod since you can’t get a better deal than 20%…. and yes Shoppers Drug Mart does sell iPods, although they run out real quickly so make sure you know whether your local branch has some in stock.
You can read the weekly Shoppers Drug Mart flyer here
Ok, so I have a wee bit of a one-track mind when it comes to deals, but….
I tried my best squinting at the SDM flyer online (LOL)..it doesn’t say that baby items (ie formula?!?) are excluded…so does that mean I can haul my mother-in-law shopping on Thursday and get a sweet deal on baby stuff do you think??
I was told there was no seniors discount on prescription drugs and none on items that were already discounted (sale items).
yup, I think you could.
As far as I know everything is discounted except for things like gift cards. But make sure the baby stuff is already reduced to get an even better deal 🙂
I work for shopper’s drug mart and the way the seniors day thing works is,seniors get 20% off everything in the store excluding, phone cards, lottery, gift cards and tobacco products, so hope that answers your question, happy shopping:)
20% off is only off regular priced items, does not include sale items.
Sorry

Thanks Tasha!!! I am hitting up my mother-in-law to go shopping right now. YAY!!!!
Hate to break a bubble here but I read the fine print on the Shoppers website & it says the 20% seniors’ discount will only be applied to regularly priced items not to items already on sale.
How old do you have to be to qualify as a senior at Shoppers? I was there yesterday and was just given the seniors’ discount – at first I was kind of happy to receive the discount off my purchases and the coupon, but then it hit me as I was walking home that I look old!!!! Please enlighten me, someone, and let me know just how much older I am looking than I actually am!
Officialty 65 but some store give it if you are 60. Sometime cashier give discount if you are young senior 50+. Post your picture let us decide how old you actually look.
Wow! This is great news. What age qualifies me as a senior at Shoppers Drug Mart, etc. ?
60 or 65
55 is senior at shoppers also I think its third thursday of each month
It depends on the cashier; I was told at the store that the senior discount age is 65. I get good discounts in NOFRILLS pharmacy & I don’t need to wait for that one day of the month.
i wont to know when Seniors Day
Seniors’ day at Shoppers is every Thursday. Check before leaving that you did get the discount as I went home and they didn’t give me the 20% – went back next day and she said couldn’t adjust bill as it isn’t senior’s day and registers automatically change over. ??? 80 years
I think the discount only applies to items not already on sale
I’m don’t mind being a senior but at 48 years old I’m insulted and I’m a young looking 48 . the cashiers don’t like to work and are stupid, yelling out I gave you seniors discount.dufferin and lonestar.
I agree. Cashiers should not give discount if customer doesn’t ask. It’s insulting to be asked if you want to claim when you’re 48. How rude and insulting.
Hi Danielle! I too was extremely offended when told I would get a seniors discount today. I was standing with a girlfriend who burst out laughing when the cashier informed me – so rather embarrassed as well. I should have asked the cashier how old she thought I was… I am 51… as far as I am concerned my mother IS a senior at 85. Shoppers should be a little more sensitive in training their staff as how to position this with their aging shoppers!! Enough said.
I’m 46 and was asked the other day! I was super offended and the man behind even commented saying that there was no way I was close!!! I asked if I could have the discount anyway and she looked at me as though I was stupid – she was the one that asked me!!!!
I too was extremely upset when the cashier assumed I was over 55. I am 47!! I’m already feeling vulnerable and low about myself right now, so this hasn’t helped one bit!!
Katherine, one of my local SDM stores will give anyone who asks for the discount, even if you are clearly under 55. They messed up one of my Optimum offers giving me the discount
I went to a shoppers drug mart after reading that you could get a seniors discount at 55. Although I am past 55, the cashier stated that I must be 65 to get the discount. Perhaps Shoppers should make sure their staff are aware that the age is 55 and not 65. Have no problem if id is required Never had a hassle at the Bay.
As often stated, the official age is 65 but many stores say 55 but it really does depend on the store
I know of store where they give it if you ask for it, you could be 18 and they would do it
I work for Shoppers in cosmetics and always just tell people that since they’re spending quite a bit of money, they get 20% off. It’s hard to ask people if they qualify especially in cosmetics, I have quite a few customers that are in their 60s and look like they’re in their 40s. Please please don’t be offended if you get the discount, the cashiers are doing it just incase so you don’t miss out! 🙂
‘Please dont be offended’? What comment could possibly be more offensive to a woman than to suggest she looks older than she is — hello???
Saving money does not offend me. I don’t really care how old people I don’t know think I am (54).
Older than you are? How old do you want to look when you’re actually a senior?
It doesn’t matter how old you look:) be happy!
Don’t ever assume someone is a senior. Biggest insult ever. That happened to me and I am livid. Self confidence is a bit shaken. Your boss should warn everyone of you not to assume or judge someone’s age.
Amanda if customers are spending a lot of money at cosmetics and getting 20% off – how much money do they have to spend? And is the discount on a Thursday only when they are spending a lot at the cosmetic counter? I always walk out of the cosmetics dept with at $75 or more and have never ever gotten a discount. I am 54 too and have yet to get a seniors discount. My store is Brockville, ont Is it my store being in a little hick town compared to the city for discounts? Think I am gonna shop in Kemptville Ont and see if I can get a seniors discount.
So if I go into my store in Barrie on Wellington with my husband who is 60, will I get the 20 percent off. Thats why I am taking him. Hes older than me!!
You should, they may ask that he is using his card
He must have an Optimum card.
up until recently I worked for shoppers and the senior discount applies to people 55 years old and older .That is the qualifying age among all shoppers drug marts and it only applies to regular priced items.
im from a small town and they say senior is 65?
If you’re 55 it’s only the third Thursday of the month you qualify for 20% discount.
They are all Shoppers Drug Mart, why are they not the same.
Where i’m concerned over 55 should have 20% off every day they shop at Shoppers.
seniors at shoppers have to be age 50 and over
Please train your staff not to automatically give the seniors discount to anyone they might think is a senior. I am not, and neither is my husband, and we have both been offered the discount. How insensitive!
I’m a senior but sometimes can’t shop on discount Thursday’s. Can I give my significant other my shopper’s optimum card and visa so she can?
