You Can Earn Free Groceries When You #EatMoreStars with #GuidingStarsCA #PCStars

September 7, 2015 by Kathryn 7 Comments

Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is its own reward when it comes to good health, and over the last few months my family has had the chance to do just that thanks to the PC Guiding Stars Program. The new initiative makes it easy to find healthy food with a simple rating system that awards one to three stars to healthy food based on expert dietitian advice about the foods’ nutritional content. I love how easy the program makes healthy eating, and my boys love looking for food that has the most stars!

When I became a part of the program, I started logging in to check my progress using my free PC Plus account. And it wasn’t until I did that I realized I’d been missing out on potential points that I could use towards free groceries. Each week, I have the option of loading my exclusive offers onto my card to get great bonus points on my purchases. The offers are tailored to me so that the more I shop, the more points I can earn. One week I earned over 2000 points just buying cheese! [Read more…]

Make the Most of Your Family Vacation with a Room at the IHG Holiday Inn-Giveaway

It’s hard to believe, but summer is already half over! Since we were packing and moving last month, we didn’t really get to have a proper summer vacation this year, and I couldn’t help feeling a little bad about that. But thanks to InterContintental Hotels Group, I was able to still make the most of summer by heading off on a staycation in Saskatchewan’s capital city!

One of my biggest decisions was which IHG hotel to choose for our trip, and after checking out my options, I decided on the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites in the eastern end of the city. The hotel boasted a variety of family-friendly features that I knew we would all appreciate, including free meals for kids at the attached restaurant as part of Holiday Inn’s Kids Stay and Eat Free program, free high-speed Internet and a pool with a waterslide. It was also conveniently located just minutes from the downtown area.

I used IHG Rewards Club Points to book my stay, with 30,000 points being good for one night. To my surprise, I realized that I could book any room with my points, which meant instead of getting a basic single room with two Queen beds as I had planned, I was able to get a Family Suite featuring a master bedroom with a king bed and a second room with two queen beds for the boys!

Challenge Yourself to Choose More Stars with #PCStars #GuidingStarsCA

July 9, 2015 by Kathryn 6 Comments

Last month I had my first introduction of the PC Guiding Stars program and I absolutely loved how easy the system was to use. Simply look for foods with one, two or three stars to ensure you’re making healthy choices for your family. The more stars a food has, the more nutritionally dense it is. Since learning about the Guiding Stars, I wanted to go further and improve my eating habits with help from the program. So I signed into my free PC Plus account and opened my Guiding Stars profile to see what improvements I could make.

As it turned out, I was already at the highest possible level, a Level 5! We tend to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables in the house along with lots of lean protein, so it was exciting to see that those habits were ones that the Guiding Stars program recognized as healthful. But I knew we could do even better, so I set out to substitute some of our usual weekly purchases for products with higher stars.

Enjoy a Free Shopping Spree by Collecting and Redeeming Sears Club Points #SearsClubPoints

October 23, 2012 by Kathryn

There are a few popular credit card rewards programs in Canada but Sears Club Points has to be one of the most popular. Shoppers earn points on every purchase with their Sears Card or Sears Financial Mastercard that can eventually be redeemed for gift cards good for anything in Sears stores or online. Recently I received the chance to try out the experience of using Sears Club Points for myself and I couldn’t wait to head out on a shopping spree.

searsmastercard-sI received a card with 20,000 points to spend, the equivalent of $200. Immediately, I decided to try to buy Zackary’s winter coat and ski pants with the card. Since I’m always interested in saving money, I decided my first stop would be Sears Clearance Centre. [Read more…]
