Last year we purchased these molds from Superstore for ice pops, and they were some of the best that we’ve used. A bit of hot water rinsed over the molds when they’re frozen and they pop out simple and easy. This year, I had the chance to stock up on some more, when I found them on sale for only $2 at Superstore (Sherwood Park, but check your local store). They’re regularly $7.
Why are these so fantastic? The quality of the superstore molds is similar to some of our favorite Tovolo Molds that I’ve paid ten times the price for. These ones are great because they’re easy to fill. The top of the popsicle mold is a base that will stand easily on the counter as you fill it with your favorite ice pop filling.
Plus, you can use them to make these delicious two ingredient Nutella fudgsicles.
Tip: Watch your local store, when I was buying these they rang in at $7 so I was able to get them for free with scanning code of practise. That simply means the item scanned for more than the advertised price, so you either get $10 off if the item is more than $10 or it for free if the item is under ten dollars.
I clearly need you to elaborate on the scanning code of practise / getting it for free thing!
All grocery stores have a little white sticker at every checkout stating what scanning code of practice is. I use it all the time!
With the scanning code of practice they only have to give you one of the identical items that scanned at an incorrect price for free. So in this case if you were purchasing 3 you would get the first free and then the other 2 at $2 each. If the item you were purchasing was supposed to scan at $14.99 you could then get one item for $4.99, as the maximum they will discount is $10. If you have multiple different items on a transaction then it applies for each of them.
I went today to the Windermere SS and bought the square PC ones shown on the bottom left of your picture. They came up as $7 as well; when I argued that they’re supposed to be $2, she gave them to me for that price…then I argued that I should get one for free….so a manager went to check the sign by the popsicle molds. She came back saying that the ones I bought, and the ones in your picture, aren’t actually the ones that are on sale. It’s not actually the PC brand ones, but the “Everyday Essential” ones. I just checked the flyer, and she’s right. The ones pictured in the flyer are different. I looked at those ones too on the display but didn’t think they looked as good of quality, and were smaller than the PC ones. She was kind though and gave them to me for $2 anyways.
I still think it’s misleading though on their part…the sign is clearly in front of all of the types of molds. I wonder how many people bought them, thinking they were getting a good deal, and then don’t check their receipt.
But that is exactly why the scanning code of practice is in place. Stores were putting random items above a price tag which caused shoppers to think they were part of a sale/deal, and instead they were being ripped off once they got to the checkout. It really shouldn’t be up to the consumer to watchdog every item. I hate when I grab an item *because* it’s on sale, and when it doesn’t ring in at that price, the employee says the sale has expired. It doesn’t matter if it has expired, if the tag is still up, I still should get the price!
