Fabulous Frugal Finds

Shoppers Drug Mart v.i.b. Program

I’m  a big fan of the Shoppers Optimum program and now they are making me love them even more.  If you’re not already a Shoppers Optimum member here in Canada, you need to be!  The Shoppers Optimum card is used with every purchase to gain points to redeem later for free products – but the real frugalista shoppers will tell you that if you play your cards…er….money…right, you can walk away with a ton of Shoppers Optimum points and redeem them for even more than you thought.

How?  It’s simple, plan to shop on Bonus Points Days (typically weekends) where you can earn 20x the points when you spend $50 or more in store.  Then, save your points for Bonus Redemption Days when your points are worth more, then redeem them for almost anything in the store.  I typically redeem my points about twice a year and it’s my “guiltless” shopping.  I use my points to get items I wouldn’t  normally splurge on like make-up, hair products, candles, and more.  I love Bonus Redemption Days!

Now, onto news about the v.i.b. program!  Mommies to be and new moms can sign up for the Shoppers v.i.b. Program starting November 3rd here.  Every prenatal mom who signs up will receive a New Baby Gift Pack full of great items as a gift from the program.  I received one just today and am putting everything aside to use for the baby this spring.  Check out what’s inside!

The kit includes Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash, Aveeno Baby Lotion, Johnsons Head to Toe Baby Wash, 3 Huggies Newborn Pure & Natural Diapers, 8 Huggies Natural Care Baby Wipes and a v.i.b. Bib, among other items.

Once you are a member of the v.i.b. Program, you will receive special Optimum offers for your baby as he grows through newsletters and of course all Shoppers customers have access to Pharmacists on staff with many locations open until Midnight or 24 hour locations.

To celebrate the launch of this new program, Shoppers is hosting a great contest with tons of winners!  Sign up for the Shoppers Drug Mart v.i.b. Program here between November 3rd and December 1st and you will be entered to win 1 of 50 $50 Shoppers Drug Mart Gift Cards!  All new members who sign up will receive 2500 bonus points the next time you purchase Pampers diaper products in store.
