In the Shoppers Drug Mart (ON) Oct. 9-15, 2010 flyer, Satin Care Shaving Gel is advertised on sale 2/$5. If you have any of the Save $5 when you buy 2 participating products (includes Satin Care) coupon from the Brandsaver flyer/website then you can get them for free. The awesome part is that if you shop on Saturday, Oct. 9th which is the 20x Optimum Points Event (on $50+ purchase), using the coupon will bring your total out of pocket expense down by $5 but you still earn 20x the points on the value of the coupon (which is 1000 pts).

For example:
I buy 8 shave gels @ 2 for 5.00 = 20.00
less coupons 5.00 WB2 x4 = -20.00
8×1000 points = 10.00 reward level (redeem 8000)
hst – 2.40 = 7.60 profit
haha I guess I like doing math 🙂
The current Shoppers Flyer also has these for 2.99 each, so if you use your B3G 9 dollars off coupon, you get them free right now as well.
@ 🙂 …or you can also buy $ 50 worth of satin care & get the 20 X bonus points in addition the 1000 product bonus points for each product 🙂
Thanks! I was going out today to use my coupons. Does Shoppers freak when you use more than one of the $5 off coupons? I know Walmart is ok…
Do you need a coupon for the bonus points?
I didnt see anywhere about 1000 bonus points – I think she meant that when you buy 2 Satin Care for $5 with the 20x points WUS $50 promo it is worth 1000 SDM points.
How much coupons can shoppers cashiers enter before they need an override?
In which page? Why I cannot find it…
In response to the first comment, unless there are some bonus points associated with buying Satin Care, you would get 1000 points for every 2 bottles of gel that you buy, which means that 8 of them would only get you 4000 points, not 8000. That’s still a good deal, but not quite what you suggested…
ALL promotions of shoppers are always BEFORE tax and AFTER Discounts, Redemptions, coupons and stuff… Meaning if you have exact $50 before tax and then you use a $5 coupon then your sub total will go down to $45… You’ll have to buy an additional $5 worth of item to get the promotion(in Saturday’s case the 20x points promo.) This is for regular pointing system($1=10 points)…
If you buy an item than has bonus points and you use a coupon you’ll still get the bonus points for that… But you won’t get 20x points on the bonus points….
EXAMPLE…
You bought 2 Satin care for 2 for $5 and used your $5 dollar coupon. And let’s say that if you buy 2 Satin care you get 1000 bonus points. Let’s also say that you got more than $50 worth of items… The total points you’ll get for the two satin care will be… 1000 bonus points…
You’re total points earned will be the 1000(from the satin care) + regular points from the other stuff you bought with 20x points…
In short you do not earn points if you use a coupon… Instead it lowers the points you would have gotten if you didn’t use one at all…
A shorter example…
You buy a can of pringles worth $1 before tax… And you used a $1 coupon for the pringles… Your total regular points earned… Zero… Don’t bother giving your optimum card… you won’t get any points…
Jing,
Not true. Coupons count as a form of payment, so it’s the total before taxes and before coupons that must be $50 for you to get your bonus points. Try it! Cashiers are sometimes misinformed, but it’s true.
I agree with astrid. I ALWAYS get my bonus (and regular) points at SDM even when my coupons bring the pre-tax total below the “minimum spend” amount.
… and I have bought products for $2, used $2 off coupons on them and still received optimum points for every single one.
Perfect! I want to start gathering items for my shelter donation! 🙂
So there is extra bp for buying 2 satin care??? i am confused….i’ll buy at least 6 anyways…but i need clarification as this will be my first time shopping on a 20x event, using coupons….
On a regular day, $5 = 50 pts.
On 20x points day, $5 = 1000 pts.
There are no extra bonus points for buying the 2 Satin Care, simply the 1000 pts if you go on Oct. 9th (20x points event).
Also the Green Works Cleaner product listed for $1.99. Use your $1.50 coupon from Websaver.ca
“The current Shoppers Flyer also has these for 2.99 each, so if you use your
B3G 9 dollars off coupon, you get them free right now as well.”
GREAT IDEA =3 FREE ^.^
