This Saturday (25th March), Shoppers Drug Mart is offering 20x optimum points. If you’re planning on buying an iPod (or any other costly item) this is an amazing opportunity to get the best possible deal. I assume you have Shopper’s Optimum card. If you don’t you need to apply for one here before you can start collecting points. Here is how you can make use of the 20x bargain:
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 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:
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 so if you’re planning on buying one, this Saturday at Shoppers Drug Mart you can get an awesome deal.
It’s no coincidence that Fresh and Free both start with the same three letters. At A&P, Dominion, Ultra Food & Drug and The Barn Markets store you’ll always get your grocery fresh or free. Yes that’s true! Although most customers have heard of the “We’re fresh obsessed†slogan very few know that it means you can get your grocery for free (and fresh too) if it’s not originally fresh. So here is how it works:
If you find any spoiled item at A&P, Dominion, Ultra Food & Drug or The Barn Markets store, just take that spoiled item to the Customer Service Desk and they’ll give you one fresh replacement free of charge 🙂 Yes, it’s that simple!
What is a spoiled item?
Well according to them, it is any item where the “best before†date has passed. Products with “Best Before†dates are considered fresh until midnight the day before.
What is not a spoiled item?
– Minor food bruises and discolouration occur naturally and don’t affect freshness.
– Damaged or reduced items are excluded – this includes Extra Ripe Produce.
– With multiple items like a bad banana in a bunch, they’ll only replace the individual item.
– Since organic grown produce can appear blemished or less fresh due to the lack of pesticides and fertilizers used, it isn’t included in this free guarantee.
So in a nutshell, if an item’s best before date has been reached, just take that spoiled item to the Customer Service Desk and they’ll give you one fresh replacement free of charge.

I post many freebies and deals that require filling in many forms with the same redundant information. I know this can get very tedious and therefore I strongly recommend you use Google’s AutoFill feature (if you’re not already doing so). You need to first download and install Google’s Toolbar from here.
Once you have completed the toolbar installation, click the Google button on the toolbar, and then click Options. The Options window will open. Click on the “Autofill Settings…†button. Enter the details you would like to use then click on “OK”.
When you visit a web page with a form, simply click the Autofill button on the Google Toolbar and the appropriate fields will be filled in!

David just referred me to an awesome website, Flyertimes.com, which displays flyers from a huge number of Canadian stores. Check it out here.
Thanks David 🙂
I always found searching for store flyers online very tedious. I therefore went flyer hunting and compiled a list of many Canadian flyers below. All you need to do is click on the name of the store and you’ll get directed to that store’s flyer 🙂 I hope you like this list.
If you know other store flyers please let me know or leave a comment and I’ll add them to this list.
Just a couple of quick samples for Canadians:
