had a great 'superstore weekend' (that sounds so odd!!)

my wife and i let out superstore points accumulate all year and then use them in december. this year we had around $550 in points.
the first shop in december is always big - i get all the stuff needed for all our christmas baking so it really adds up - and that's usually the weekend if you spend 'x' amount you get a free turkey. well, this past weekend was the turkey weekend so it was big shop time. i told my wife that i was getting the list all figured out and then she mentioned that she got an email where if you do an online order and spend $300 you get 75,000 pts (which is $75). we've never done the online ordering - mostly becuz i'll go to superstore and take the kids with me and my wife can get a bit of a break for a couple hours, but for $75 in points we'll do it!

so this is how my bill broke down:
total: $334
points redeemed: $330
i paid $4
new points earned: 75,000 + i think 6000 for other stuff that we purchased that had points (so $81)
the $5 online fee was waived becuz it was out first online purchase
and a free turkey!

while i was at superstore i ran in to grab a couple of other things and i saw rubbermaid storage tubs, which i've been wanting to get a bunch of (like 25-30 tubs) for my business for a while now. the best price i had seen over the last number of months was $13/tub and superstore had them on for $10. hmmmmmm....

i go home, go to the superstore webpage, order 30 tubs for pickup this afternoon.
my bill was $300 for the tubs (which is a great price and a business write off)
got another 75,000 pts
AND another turkey!

ha!!! oh.... the best was when the superstore lady brought out all the rubbermaid tubs and said, "i just gotta ask... 30 rubbermaid tubs?!?!" too bad i wasn't on the ball today with a quick goofy answer, just told her they were for work - booo... so boring!

we're thinking about inviting 4 sets of neighbours over for a big turkey dinner to get rid of one of the birds. not sure what we'll do with the second one yet.

but yea... what a superstore weekend... thanks for getting me $334 in groceries for $4, the $150 in points and 2 turkeys!!!
