Competition among the major supermarket chains has been intensifying over the last year or so. It looks like PC Optimum took it to a new level today with their offer of $2.50 per month ($30 per year) for the first year of PC Express with all the stores under their umbrella (Loblaws, Superstore, No Frills, etc. – 12 choices in all). Regular price for PC Express is $99/year (renews to this price after one year of promotion).
Just received an email with the new promotion and it appears to be for everyone (ie. not YMMV):
Free delivery with orders over $30;
Free pickup, with 2% back in PC Optimum points;
No minimums for Shoppers Drug Mart or Joe Fresh;
2x bonus for first time Subscribe and Save orders;
Multiple address delivery available;
Cancel any time.
Although I prefer to shop at the store in order to find exceptional deals and I am picky with the produce I choose, I may pull the trigger on this one. It beats the Walmart delivery promotion and even the other PC Optimum promotions (I think there is a free month promotion, but not sure).
There is little to lose here. I may sign up for PC Express, choose the 2% pickup option, then shop for goodies before picking up the online order. Can’t lose with that strategy. Assuming the “cancel anytime” option is available on a monthly basis, but not sure.
Don’t forget to use PASS in the code, and take advantage by November 19 expiry date.
Go get ’em…
