I do believe Shoppers Drug Mart is capitalizing on the fact that people are in a panic that their points balances are low after redeeming at last weekend’s mega bonus redemption. For those who want to build their points back up, this Saturday, Dec. 10th will be a 20x points event. However you need to spend at least $75 (before taxes) instead of the usual $50. The Ontario flyer has kindly been posted HERE by g_skywalker. Thank you so much! Now I can make my shopping list and see which coupons expiring on Dec. 31st I can use.

The humble, yet delicious, potato is extremely versatile and this recipe, a healthier version of a French fry, makes for a good side dish and a great snack.
First off preheat your oven to 400°F/204°C and peel approximately 3lbs of Russet potatoes (note white potatoes are on sale at No Frills this week at $3.47 for 20lbs), or if you like them with the skins on, then just give them a good scrub. Slice them into wedges, roughly equal in size.
In a mortar and pestle (or any other device of your choosing) crush 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
And 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds. You just want the seeds to release their aroma and although you can use coriander and cumin powder, I prefer using the whole seeds.
Mix the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic cloves, crushed cumin, crushed coriander, salt and pepper. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, while turning them once at the half-way mark.
Serve with a refreshing yogurt-coriander dip (recipe coming soon) and enjoy the golden brown deliciousness, with a crispy crust, soft, fluffy insides and roasted garlicky goodness. If you’re feeling guilty, at least you’ll feel better with the knowledge that they are much better than deep fried French fries.
Here is the recipe card:
Baked Potato Wedges
3lbs Russet Potatoes
3-4 tbsp Olive Oil
I tsp Cumin Seeds
1 tsp Coriander Seeds
1 tsp Salt
¼ tsp Pepper
5-6 Garlic Cloves (whole or sliced)
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Peel potatoes (or give them a good scrub if you’re leaving the skins on) and cut into wedges.
3. Crush cumin and coriander seeds with a mortar and pestle.
4. Mix potatoes with olive oil, garlic cloves, crushed cumin, crushed coriander, salt and pepper.
5. Place the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning them once at the half-way mark.
I was going through the Friday flyers when I came across this deal at Walmart. They’re selling the T-fal Actifry, regular price $238 for $188. (This price is even lower than Amazon.com at $240USD+!) Sale runs until Thursday, December 8th.
I first heard about this device on Dr. Oz and supposedly, you can make fries (or other items) with only a spoonful of oil!
I personally wouldn’t have any use for the Actifry as I don’t deep fry anything. However, deep-fryers were all the rage when I was a kid and I just remember thinking, “This is such a waste of oil!” All the food is literally cooked in a vat of hot oil, but what do you do with the used oil after you’ve used it a few times?
I’ve read mixed reviews on the item, namely that the materials used to make this small appliance aren’t built to last. At $188, if you deep fry foods, would you try the Actifry out?
