Shoppers Drug Mart: Seniors Day

Thursday is the day to plan for at Shoppers Drug Mart if you are 65 or older. On Thursdays, shoppers aged 65+ save 20% on regular priced merchandise when they use their own PC Optimum card or app, which makes it a useful day to stock up on the health and wellness items and household basics you already buy. If you shop at Shoppers on a regular basis, timing a larger shop for Thursday can make a real difference to the total at the till, while smaller shops can wait for any day that suits you.

How to claim it

1. Plan your shop for a Thursday and bring photo ID in case staff ask to confirm your age.
2. Check the shelf price as you shop and note which items are regular priced, since the 20% saving described here applies to regular priced merchandise.
3. Tell the cashier before you pay that you are shopping on Seniors Day and ask them to confirm the saving has been applied before you complete your purchase.

The fine print that matters most is in those words regular priced. The offer as listed is 20% off regular priced items, so do not assume that every item in your basket will be reduced by the same amount. If you are unsure whether an item counts, ask a member of staff before you pay rather than after. That quick question avoids disappointment and helps you decide whether to buy the item that day or wait.

Terms can change and store details can differ, so it is worth checking the listing for your own store before you make a special trip. Dates and offers can also shift around holidays or for other reasons that are not shown here, and the safest habit is to confirm on the day itself.

Practical tip: make your Thursday list during the week as you run low on things, so one planned trip captures the saving on the items you truly need.
