BY ROBERT CULLEN, PurplePipe Association Inc.

When joining PurplePipe, your *members kit will include your individually bar coded Ritchies' Community Benefit Card. No personal details are recorded by Ritchies. Choose between a key tag to place on your key ring or the convenience of a plastic card for your wallet or purse.

Every time you shop at Ritchies Supa IGA Supermarkets or Liquor Stores, you will need to present the card or key tag to the cashier to have access to an estimated 4,000 weekly specials that have extra discounts for Cardholders! Save anything from 5 cents to $5 per item!

Every time the bar code on the provided card is scanned, 0.5% of the money you spend is automatically donated to PurplePipe.

As a not-for-profit Association, these donations contribute to covering our running costs associated with website management, special events, communications and administration. For PurplePipe members, this allows our annual membership fees to be kept to a minimum.
