While we all try to reduce our grocery bill, I am sure most of us spend more than we would like to.  $avvy$hopper earns extra money in her spare time on ClixSense which she puts towards her groceries.  There are lots of sites where you can make an extra few dollars a month, through surveys, watching videos, special offers, tasks and more.  We have a thread for the most reliable ones in this SC forum.  Try a few and see what works for you.  I personally make over $25 a month on swagbucks which I cash out for paypal and can use for anything I want.

Click here to read $avvy$hopper’s brag where she got all of the food above (and a KitKat for her special little helper) for $13.11 and had cashed out her online earnings for around the same.

Did you know you can get paid if we feature your brag on the blog?  Check out the details here.

Not all of us like couponing, you run into cashier issues, need to find the coupons you will use and not be brand loyal.  But you don’t need to use coupons to save lots.  Forum member peachykeen2007 posted a brag where she did not use any coupons, but bought almost $90 worth of clothes for under $25 at Zellers during their final closing sale.

Then she went on to 20x day at Shoppers Drug Mart and bought $56+ tax of Physician’s Formula products at 30% off.  She used 6 prepaid Mastercards that you could get from cereal boxes last year to bring down her out of pocket cost to 33.79 including taxes.  Peachykeen2007 will get $33 back in mail-in-rebates from Physician’s Formula (details for the rebate can be found on packaging) and received 10.400 Optimum points (worth $10 at the lowest redemption level of 8000 for $10 but worth over $21 on a weekend like this one where 95k points gets you $200).  SCers know the best way to redeem is at the highest levels, so when she redeems her points, she will have been paid to buy makeup!

Mail in Rebates are a great way to boost your Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum points on 20x days without spending much in the long term.

Unlike the rest of Canada, the Scanning Code of Practice (SCOP) is compulsory for Quebec stores and does include sticker prices.  Forum member couponmummy took advantage of this recently at Bureau en Gros, where she got this Blackberry Charging Pod for free when it was advertised at the clearance price of $9.97 (reg $34.97) and rang in at $12.07.

As many of you are aware, you get the item free up to $10 but they need to reduce the price of the item to the advertised price first.  So couponmummy got this item for free – even better, SCOP reduces the taxes to $0 also!

If you are not familiar with SCOP, check out our blog about it here and click here to read couponmummy’s brag.

Don’t forget to turn your clocks forward tonight before you go to bed and change your smoke alarm batteries and all the other fun stuff we are supposed to check twice a year.

Work really messed with me yesterday, maintenance started changing the clocks at lunch, I went to drop off some mail and came back to a clock an hour ahead and wondered if I had blacked out.

Finally, for those who have been waiting to redeem, Nancy sent us a message to let us know that there is a Spend Your Points event next weekend.  Seemingly, Shoppers is mixing it up and different regions will get different offers.

West: 50k points for the regular $85 but you will also get a $15 gift card or 95k for $170k with $30 gift card (as reported by forum member Chrissy)
