There’s been a lot of recent talk about SPC promotions; SPC’s Pre-Order bonus, SPC’s Double Up bonuses, Lou Lou’s VIP SPC deal and even Aeropostale’s free SPC card offer with purchase. All GREAT offers! But the true savings are rooted in the SPC card alone as Tara has mentioned within recent comments:

What’s the point in waiting to get the card? you’ll save a lot more than the double or even triple shopping cards if you get the card and USE IT!! The extra promos are great but i’d rather have my card for back to school shopping =)

[...] I bet I saved way more than $30 just in August. I can’t even think why it would make sense to wait. It’s $8.50!!

She’s absolutely right! If you’re a student, while the extra perks are nice, you can save so much more in the meantime. With that said, the new 2009 - 2010 Student Price Card (SPC) can now be purchased in stores. One of the most common retailers that you can pick your SPC card up at is Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix, however, you can also purchase in-store at any of the following locations:
.

At only $8.50 + tax in-stores, your SPC card is your ticket to exclusive student discounts and deals at a variety of Canadian retailers and restaurant chains. Simply show your SPC card to save! Note that as a student, you may need to show your Student Card as verification.
