We walk around with these points cards.....Optimum, Sobeys, PCpoints, WalMart, Scene, Air Miles etc.
How many of us cash in on them and track them? Strategically itemizing our shopping lists to accumulate as many points as possible.
It is crazy what we can aquire for free, just by shopping in the right place, at the right time.
So, today I issued myself a challenge: how much can I aquire without putting out any money?
Shoppers Drug Mart - $43.65 - $40 worth of optimum points = paid $3.65
SuperCentre - $62.10 - $50 (points) - $10 coupon (off $50 or more purchase) = paid $2.10
It was so much fun! I felt like I was spending someone elses money that I didn't have to repay :0
I must admit that my over exhuberhance was less than appreciated by my husband, who stood loading the
bagged wares into the cart. His eyes pleading with me to stop rambling in my excitement to anyone within earshot.
I think I may have embarrased him a wee bit. I don't really care though :P because I walked through the parking lot with a ginger spring in my step. I felt deeply satisfied and strangley excited.
I LOVE FREE STUFF!!!!!!!!!
Everything goes on the PC card and we get month's worth of free groceries at least once a year.
ReplyDeleteI think we might have enough for a first aid kit at Petro Canada.
