Save It Forward Promotional Event
A beginner’s guide to the Save It Forward promotional event in Canada
Save it Forward promotion
Several times each year Real Canadian Superstore (RCSS) and No Frills promote their Save It Forward event. For this promotional event PC partners with tons of name brands to offer huge discounts through digital coupons and PC Optimum Points. For every item purchased from a partnering brand, a set monetary amount will be donated to a charity by PC, up to a maximum value. For the current Save It Forward event, for every promoted product purchased PC is donating $0.50 to the President’s Choice Children’s Charity, up to a maximum of $1,000,000. Below we describe in more detail what this event offers and how to maximize your savings
Digital Coupons
Digital coupons are a widely underutilized but very modern way to coupon. They are so easy to use, without the headache of having to search in store for them or the burden of troublesome coupon printing. The digital coupons being offered on select name brands can be found advertised in your local flyer. They come off automatically at checkout, so there is no need to load these offers or alert the cashier of their use.

In this example Bounty and Charmin are on sale for $21.99 (yellow). This price is after a $2 digital coupon (red).
PC Loadable Offers
The Save It Forward promotion also offers PC Optimum Loadable points offers on select partnering brands. To get these offers you must load them to your PC Optimum account prior to use. You cannot save these offers for use in future weeks, so make sure you check the promotion for expiration dates. These loadable points offers are limited to one time use, meaning you only get to use them once in a single transaction (not to be confused with use on a single product).

Maximizing your savings
The Save It Forward event is a great way to save even more money on everyday items. The PC Optimum Loadable offers can be stacked on top of the digital coupons but you’ll have to look for these matches on your own. It’s important to note that digital coupons do affect your subtotal, so if a PC Optimum Loadable Offer has a limited spend amount you need to make sure you factor the after digital coupon price into your math.

You can also try price matching and using physical coupons on top of both the digital coupons and PC Optimum Loadable Offers. When pricing matching or using a physical coupon, the digital coupon should still come off automatically. Ultimately it is up to the store manager on whether your local store will accept physical coupons and / or price matching on top of these brands, so this deal may work for some but not all.
Now that you better understand the Save It Forward event and all it has to offer you are ready to go!
Happy Shopping!
