Well...I finished my 5th shop in the last hour!!!! Typical Pumpkin style
I went to safeway and purchased a150.00 GC and made sure the young teller used my promo code. He was like, I have that one I can scan here for you instead of keying it in. On my receipt it says Marketing promo 11. I hope it is good!!!!
I had completed 4 and needed the 5th. I missed the Rona one. We ended up having to go out of town unexpectedly for longer than we had originally thought, and when we got home, that coupon has expired
, It would have been cheaper to spend 35 ish and use some of my cash miles to make it less for a can of clear coat and a new brush to apply it onto my upcycling projects.
I had decided to use 150.00 of my vacation ( pc optimum ) to purchase the giftcard - which I am now going to use to help out a local group of people who help people who have emergencies ( like newly single mothers and young people escaping unsafe living situations and those who need emergency groceries because of job loss etc etc etc. ) They will post what they are needing for families or for their pantry items to give out. I will shop the Blue weekday specials and get some AM out of it.
There is a huge influx of need right now - especially with back to school. And even though things are tighter at home due to both of us taking pay cuts with the pandemic - we are extremely lucky to be able to have extra money to float around right now. My goal is to use this for the next couple of months when I see items that they are needing, then use the gift card to purchase them.
And a totally topic
We need to collect extra points and AM. We will have a wedding to attend in NFL hopefully next year!!!!! So I will need tips and tricks to get the best bang for my AM and points to get us there! We are excited to have a reason to " have to " travel there for the wedding!!!!! so I have a renewed interest in collecting Am again!!!!
