What do people usually buy on a SDM 20x events?
iPod is the hottest product to buy on a 20X event. Here is how it works:
Regularly, you collect 10 Shoppers Optimum Points for every $1 you spend at Shoppers Drug Mart. On a 20x day you get 20 times the points i.e. 20×10 = 200 Shoppers Optimum Points for every $1 you spend
So for iPods you’ll approximately get (iPod prices slightly changed but I’m too lazy to recalculate them):
– iPod Video 30GB costs $379 so you get 379 x 200 = 75800 points
– iPods Nano 4GB costs $299 so you get 299 x 200 = 59800 points
– iPods Nano 2GB costs $249 so you get 249 x 200 = 49800 points
You can redeem these points for huge savings. Here is how much you can redeem your points for:
Â
So buying an iPod video on a 20x day would get you a discount of $150.
For the iPod Nano 4GB you get a discount of approximately $110.
For the iPod Nano 2GB you get a discount of approximately $80.
You’ll find it almost impossible to get a better deal on iPods if you want to buy it from a well known retailer.

Question,
If i was to buy an iPod would i be able to redeem the points i got on that purchase or would i have to wait and spend them on later purchases?
Either way is a great deal!
Thanks so much for pointing this out, was just about to buy an iPod!
Hello Joel
Unfortunately, you’ll have to spend them on later purchases.
Checkout the TD Bank deal. I know it is long and boring to read but I think you might find it even better
