What is SCOP?
I've been living here in Canada for almost 10 years already, but I just found out about SCOP recently. I can't believe that I did not know about this given my frugal nature and always on the lookout for discount.
SCOP stands for Scanning Code of Practice, it is a voluntary group of shops and grocery stores in Canada that guarantees an accurate scanning of items. If an item scans different price than that what is advertised or marked on the shelf you are entitled to a free item if it is less then 10 dollars. If it is more than 10 dollars, you get a 10 dollar discount. But take note, the tellers won't just give this to you automatically. You have to be aware of it and let them know that you want to avail SCOP. You also need to take note of the price of the items that you bought and they will verify if the scan price is indeed wrong. You may also do it through the customer service after purchase.
You can check out Retail Council of Canada and Competition Bureau websites for more info.
The following are the list of stores that voluntarily participates SCOP:
Neighbourhood Pharmacy Association of Canada Supporting Companies:
Shoppers Drug Mart
The Groupe Jean Coutu (NB and ON only)
Lawton Drug Stores
London Drugs
Lovell Drugs
Pharmasave BC
