Pampers has released a new 10 point bonus Gifts to Grow code below.Pampers has been revamping their website and apparently their gifts too. Word is the Radio Big Flyer isn’t coming back and will be replaced with a ‘Cool Car’. I’m glad I cashed mine in before the change but also curious to see the car. What do you think of the changes?
*UPDATE* another 10-pointer added below
Pampers Canada has released two new bonus Gifts to Grow code worth 10 points. This was nice and unexpected, I was kind of let down when they didn’t release one April Fool’s.
What’s your favourite Pampers diaper? When mine were newborns I only used Swaddlers (everything else leaked big time).
Heres a quarter heres, two quarters, heres a loonie, call someone who cares!
Bell Canada wants to raise a regular payphone call to $1. Yes you read that correctly. 4 quarters. The reasoning behind this hike is because the Royal Canadian Mint is changing the style of the loonie. Apparently payphones will not be able to accept the new tender and will need to be retrofitted.
I personally rarely use payphones. Generally I have my cell phone on me, but there are still times I end up needing to use a payphone. Last time I picked up a payphone I almost fell over at the 50 cent cost. Now they want $1? I definitely will never use a payphone unless there is an emergency.
Do you think they should raise the rate? Are payphones a thing of the past anyways?
Michaels is holding two easter Make-it take-it events over the next week. Tomorrow they will making Easter pails from 1-3 pm (must purchase pail). The sample in the flyer looks super cute.
Next Saturday the 7th is the freebie. From 1-3 pm they’ll be making Easter bunny eggs. Both classes are for ages 3 and up, while supplies last.
Here’s another reminder about their Wilton cake decorating classes deal. Buy one four week session get one free for a friend. Offer valid until April 7, 2012.
Today in the new budget they announced that they will be fazing out our penny. Apparently it was costing tax payers 11 million dollars a year to produce since it cost 1.5 pennies to make each one.
Do agree with this decision? Will you miss the penny?

London Drugs released a new coupon policy due to a few bad seeds misusing the program. It really sucks when a few bad seeds ruin it for everyone who did things in moderation. I personally have never shopped at a London Drugs because I live in Ontario.
Here is the new policy:
Dear Couponers,
Due to unfortunate circumstances we are forced to announce a change to our approach of certain coupon stacking programs. This change will affect the pre ordering of mass quantities of products and the use of mass cut coupons for all of our vendors for the purpose of coupon stacking. In addition, London Drugs has been advised by SC Johnson Company, that no SC Johnson coupon can be combined or stacked with any other coupon, regardless of the wording on the back of their coupons. Unfortunately, both of these areas are impacted due to increasing abuse which cannot be supported, and negatively affects all customers.
Pre-Ordering of Merchandising
Effective immediately, with those products where coupon stacking is permitted, London Drugs stores will only sell shelf quantities of product for the purposes of coupon stacking. As is a longstanding policy, we have always reserved the right to limit quantities and this will be enforced.
We have had increasing pressure from an ever widening number of coupon stackers to pre-order large quantities of products expressly for the purpose of coupon stacking. The requests are not modest: increasingly these order are for cases and half pallet or pallet quantities of merchandise. On top of this, it has been reported that increasingly these large quantities are used for resale, and not for personal consumption.
The manufacturers and London Drugs cannot support this excessive ordering of large quantities, as this is not what coupons were ever intended to provide for customers, and jeopardizes London Drugs ability to get reimbursed for coupons, causing potentially large financial losses for both London Drugs and its suppliers.
SC Johnson Company coupons
London Drugs has been advised by SC Johnson Company, that no SC Johnson coupon can be combined or stacked with any other coupon, regardless of the wording on the back of their coupons. London Drugs attempted to work with the legal counsel representing SC Johnson to alter their wording on their coupons as many other companies have done. Unfortunately, they have made a unilateral decision that because the abuse of coupon stacking has become too widespread on their products, they will not continue to reimburse London Drugs for any coupon they deemed was stacked.
London Drugs is very sorry that these practices have had to change. As one of the very few retailers that have allowed and supported coupon stacking, we’ve worked hard with coupon stacking forums and organizations to make policies clear, and prevent abuse. Despite this approach, the widening abuse has caused these changes in approach. It’s frustrating for London Drugs and the coupon customers who have worked responsibility to maintain the practice to date.
What are your thoughts on this new policy?
*Bumping This because there is a new code today*
They say April showers bring May flowers (and yes I know it is still March) and the first day of spring means a new promo code from Pampers’s Gifts to Grow program.
So what was the weather like in your neck of the woods today? Here in Ontario it was feeling more summer. I sure worked up a sweat chasing my toddler around the park.
Michaels is holding two Make-it Take-it events in the next few weeks. First on March 18 from 1-4pm they’ll be holding jewellery demos. This is an adult only event while supplies last.
Then March 24 from 1-3pm the kids can make “There was a little Froggie craft egg” with the purchase of a craft egg. Ages 3 and up while supplies last.
Just a reminder they still have Wilton cake decorating classes buy one 4-week session get one free for a friend until April 7, 2012.
