I really want to be able to take advantage of these bonus point events. I have enough points but I feel like I end up spending more than I save in a way as I buy things I wouldn't normally buy or pay more than I'd normally pay for certain items. Back when it was just Optimum points, I would just buy stuff more 'for fun' and look at it as free money. But when I could be using these points for our regular groceries at Superstore or No Frills, it feels wasteful almost if you know what I mean. I don't spend $75 at Shoppers on a regular basis. But I hate missing out on the bonus!
I hear you. I will shop there when I have a few things to buy that are more on the pricier side like makeup/ skincare, eye drops or some OTC pain things then I will add a few grocery items I need to bring me to the threshold. I don't usually do the 75.00. I usually take advantage of the 50.00 if I have a bigger priced item I need. Last week I did have to toss in a bag of Eggies to get over the 50.00 threshold. I put them into a bowl on the counter so we all could enjoy them. My boys were happy with that add on. I have to weigh what I have on my lists for the week. I don't go to buy just for the points. It still has to be something our family/household needs.
