I went to the new 24 hour Shopper's Drug Mart at the corner of McPhillips and Redwood to do some early Christmas shopping. About a half hour later I ended up buying all this:
-1 450g tub of Maynard's Wine Gums (for my Aunt) - $6.99
-1 martini shaker (for my cousin and her husband) - $4.99
-1 box of Pot of Gold (for one of my Goddaughter's parents) - $6.99
-4 bags of Hershey's Chocolates (for my 3 second cousins and my mom) - $9.96
-1 box of Guylian Chocolates (for my sister) - $8.99
-1 Die Another Day DVD (for my dad) - $9.99
-1 gift box with a watch, leather wallet, keychain, and pen (for my Godfather) - $29.99
With taxes my bill came to $88.80.
BUT, I had my Shopper's Optimum card with me and I told them I would like to redeem 34 000 points towards my purchase (I have over 60 000 Optimum points). This gave me a discount of $75 off my purchase. All I had to pay was $13.80 for all the stuff. Now that's cheap Christmas shopping.
No, I'm done Christmas shopping yet, but this helps.
