My Shoppers Drugmart Mega Redemption

It took me awhile before I gave the Shoppers Optimum program a try but in just a short amount of time I was able to collect enough points for this weekends Mega Redemption! This was the biggest redemption event of the year and I was thrilled that they included the 30000 points level (which snagged me a lovely $60 off my purchase!) I also must mention that the staff at the uptown Lindsay Shoppers is absolutely fantastic! Here is what my mega haul entailed.

• Huggies Boxed Diapers
• McCain Rising Crust Pizza
• Smuckers Jam
• Crest Toothpaste
• 2xOral B Toothbrushes
• Cheerios
• 2xRuffles Chips
• Frozen Mixed Veggies
• 2xPetit Danone Yogurt
• Armstrong Cheese
• Huggies Baby Wipes
• Facial Tissues
• Oasis Juice
• Campbells Soup
• Similac Infant Formula

I used $17.00 in coupons (for huggies diapers, wipes, similac formula, oasis juice, 2xdanone yogurt, smuckers jam), saved another $34.30 in sale items and then redeemed my Optimum points for another $60.00 off my purchase. Total paid out of pocket: $9.05!

So while I still have ALOT to learn I am beyond happy to have already met my goal this year of saving a whopping $1000 with coupons! I thought that this would be the perfect time to introduce Kawartha Bargains, which will be the new home of all my coupon/freebie/money saving related posts. If you are a Facebook follower I will continue to post both information from both sites there. Once again Kawartha Beads will be home to all things crafty and handmade, both locally and around the globe!
