Toronto Beauty & Wellness Deals

This Thursday, February 23 is Seniors' Day at Shoppers Drug Mart and they're running two great one-day promotions. Seniors with an Optimum Card will be able to take 20% off their purchases and will receive a $10 gift card if they buy more than $50 worth of goods. This is definitely a good time to stock up as these deals only come around every so often.

In conjunction with Seniors' Day is the 20x the Points Event which makes this an even better time to shop and allows you to earn bonus points on things you would normally buy anyway! Who doesn't like getting more for less, right?

The 20x the Points Event ends on Friday.
