Shoppers Flyer This Week

Shoppers Flyer This Week: publication rhythm and schedule

Shoppers Drug Mart is a pharmacy and beauty retailer, not a grocery supermarket, even though this page sits under the broader Canada supermarkets and grocery flyers hub. In Quebec the same chain trades as Pharmaprix, which is why our editions are titled in both English and French (flyer / circulaire).

The most recent main edition we list runs from 17 October to 22 October 2026 and has 22 pages. A separate seasonal Toy guide of 5 pages is listed for 2 October to 30 October 2026,. We hold no consistent weekday pattern for Shoppers, and we found no official statement of a release day, so check the validity dates printed on each edition rather than assuming a fixed start. The Canada flyers and weekly deals hub lists other retailers alongside.

How to save: loyalty card and app

Shoppers belongs to the PC Optimum programme. According to the encyclopedic record of the chain, the former Shoppers Optimum scheme merged with Loblaw's PC Plus in February 2018, and the same source gives a base earn rate of 15 points per dollar spent, with exclusions such as prescriptions and tobacco. Programme terms change, so confirm the current rate in the PC Optimum app.

A Canadian finance guide says personalized PC Optimum offers must be activated weekly in the app. We cannot see app offers, so they are not reflected in the flyer images on AdsSOS.

Price matching, returns and coupon rules

On returns, the official Shoppers refund page says that products bought in a store can be returned with the receipt or original package within 30 days of the purchase date for a full refund. Without a receipt, the return is handled at the store's discretion, at the last lowest sale price, as store credit. Exchanges follow a similar 30-day window, and final-sale and clearance items cannot be returned or exchanged. Keep your receipt and read the current terms before relying on a refund.

We could not find a published price-matching policy for Shoppers on the official pages we were able to open, and the official site blocked automated access to its FAQ. Some third-party articles state that the chain does not price match, but those are not official sources, so we do not repeat the claim as fact. If a match matters to your purchase, ask at the store before paying.

Smart shopping: hours and markdown habits

Opening hours differ by location. One Shoppers Drug Mart store listing we reviewed showed 8:00 a.m. to midnight daily, with its Monday entry for Thanksgiving also showing as open, and the store locator notes that some locations operate around the clock while pharmacy counters may keep shorter hours. Use the locator for your own store and for statutory holidays.

Sunday and holiday shopping is governed by provincial rules. In Ontario, the Retail Business Holidays Act names Thanksgiving among the holidays on which retail businesses are restricted, but the Act does not apply in the City of Toronto, municipalities can opt out by by-law, and a small exemption covers shops selling mainly foodstuffs or tobacco with no more than three people serving the public. Rely on the posted hours for your own store.

A corporate release on the chain's website announces lower prices on hundreds of everyday essentials. We hold no price data and make no statement about any item cost.

About Shoppers in Canada

Shoppers Drug Mart was founded in 1962 by pharmacist Murray Koffler and has been part of Loblaw Companies since the 2014 acquisition. Reference sources give more than 1,300 stores across ten provinces and two territories, including the Pharmaprix stores in Quebec. Its in-house line is Life Brand, and Loblaw's President's Choice and No Name products also appear on its shelves.

If you compare it with a pharmacy-first competitor, the Jean Coutu flyer this week is the closest Quebec-based comparison, while the Walmart Canada flyer this week covers a mass retailer that also stocks pharmacy and beauty items.
