[No Frills] Broccoli crowns - buy 4 @ $1 each and receive 4000 PCO points = free (YMMV)

Accidentally discovered this.

No Frills has a posting in-store where you buy 4 specific items (can't remember exactly what they were) and get 4,000 PCO points. You're supposed to buy one of each of the four products, but I bought 4 broccoli crowns (one of the 4 specified items) at $1 each and still got the 4,000 points. Essentially making them free.

This was at the No Frills in Markham - Hwy48/16th.

Is this location specific or Canada-wide?

Don't see anything in flyers in BC... Must be region specific...

At the NF on Avenue Rd. (south of Wilson), they didn't have any broccoli crowns, only bunches.

does this work for other combinations of these 4 items?

For example, 4 pineapples get 4k pts?

or 2 pineapples and 2 broccoli crowns?

As of today - Yes it does. It's a glitch so there's no telling if it may stop or not.
I personally bought 2 broccoli and 1 pineapple and 1 onion pack and got the 4000 pts.
Hope this helps answer your question.

Thanks OP.

Happen to have personalized broccoli deal in the PC app.

200 points for every $1 spent on broccoli which stacks with the 4000 points. Total earned was 4800 points.

Got paid 80cents to pick up 4 crowns of broccoli haha.
