Any Other Canadians Shop at Shoppers Drug Mart? They are having their mega redemption this weekend and I have enough points to get $210 in free stuff.
At first I thought I might get a higher priced item like a tv or a laptop, but while both my tv and laptop are getting old, they are still good, so I've decided to just spend it on other things: socks, mittens, chocolate for my son's stocking and my mom's, ear phones (I need some of them), and groceries.
Even though I've always been quite frugal, it's interesting that my mindset has changed. I would have bought the tv before (and stockpiled it for when mine dies), but somehow now I just think, "I don't want that." It must be the minimalism that has crept into my life. Buying that tv would not make me happy today like it would have about 5 years ago.
Has anyone else made a similar shift?
