Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

How much do i wish i could play Blue Friday?!?! I'm not even looking at the flyers or i'll be trying to figure out a way to convince the hubby that we need to drive 40 minutes to a 24 hr Foodland that might have the products still in stock by 9 pm

Nooo noo NOPE not gonna happen. Good luck to the rest of you, I can't wait to read the hunting reports!

Oh come on you have to give it a go Hon!
I could post the flyer for you?
I hope you are having fun and enjoying every minute of your holiday!
Now how do you know there is a Foodland 40 minutes away?...Hmmmm....you've been googling haven't you.lol.lol
They have "GoodNorth Ice Cream"
Hugs to you

Silly girl --- not here, I'm talking about once we get home. There ain't no way we could take anything else home with us anyway, Porter is really strict with luggage (such tiny planes!!!!) We did hit up a Metro (one of the THREE they have up here, seriously) for food on the train since reviews warned us that the pickings on the train are pretty slim and then going to a Shell to gas up the rental car before we return it to the airport making that transaction #2 for the Mastercard offer.

When we picked up the train tickets there was a voucher for $10 of food from the "dining car" (uhm yeah that's a joke!) and we felt like kids at summer camp when we unloaded our haul at our seats

For Blue Friday Shoppers, don't forget you can usually get a rain check for the item and bonus miles if they run out of stuff. (like granola bars...lol)

 

[momof2gr8kids]

For the mastercard bonus 500 am when you shop at 3 sponsors.... When I go online to see the sponsors it lists a bunch of different shells. Does each individual Shell station count as a separate transaction? Like could I just go from one to the other and put in 20 at each and be done with it?

I'm going to go back again tonight with my hubby in the hopes they are out to get a couple of rain checks.

Done! Total $109.65 pretax and 680 miles plus another 6 base miles. It actually says 6 instead of 5 on my receipt. Don’t know why but that’s ok.

30 boxes Quaker = 300
8 pkgs soup = 100
4 chips = 40
3 cereals = 50
4 bagels = 40
3 hummus = 50
100 for $100

Those coupon links I posted yesterday? Two different cashiers took them without comment. Though they did scan the coupons with their eyes a few times. So for every 10 boxes of Quaker bars I received $5 off! Instead of costing $16.60 per 10, I paid $11.60.

They also accepted two coupons towards the 4 chips.

 

[Disney Addicted]

I also picked up another 10 Quaker bars on my husband’s card as he needed 100 air miles to complete an offer (earn 350 miles get 175). Total $11.60 earned 100 miles.

I know it's all about Blue Friday here in Ontario but I am wondering about the Rexall spend $50 get 100 AM this Sunday, it seems aimed at "seniors" as it (plus 1 year CARP membership?) but I am assuming it will work for everyone. I also got a spend $50 get 50 AM load n go for my card and it seems to be good for a week (today to the 13th). So, hoping those will stack on Sunday. I'll have to check the flyer to see what we need but I can always use stuff from Rexall.

Fingers still crossed there will be things in stock when I get to Sobeys tonight!

 

[TFC_UNTIL_I_DIE]

I just did Blue Friday at Kanata Terry Fox and they actually had no air miles tags up and the checkout lady was completely unaware of the promo. I got all of my items and points (because the are loaded by Sobeys Ontario) but I was surprised they had so few Quaker bars. The hotdogs are also 3.99 not 2.99 and they refused to give me the rate in the flyer. They also informed me I can only use the 100AM coupon once which I know isn't true so I will head over to the Stittsvile location for my second shop. an I don't know what it is about this store and big promos. They have one awesome lady usually on customer service but she wasn't there today.

Wait, what? Did I miss this? I thought I had read everything but don't remember this. I'll have to go back and look cause I want that!

Just returned from my second shop at Sobeys Stittsville. I was going after soup and granola bars and cereal for the food bank. They had signs up but little stock in all three items. I bought all 12 less salt soups they had and 20 quakers which was a big chunk of what they had. I guess granola bars were on sale yesterday but without the AMs so their stock got pretty reduced.

both stores I went to had plenty of Gatorade, ice cream, and hummus

And no issue using the 100AM coupon again

Omy Gosh GAS!
I have picked up a nasty head cold and I was going to get some on the way home today but I was so exhausted I forgot,,,I just dragged myself out the door and got some,,thanks for the reminder. I think I scared the attendant as I had Nivea cream all over my face--Ahhhhhhhh the things we do for airmiles.lol
Hugs Mel

I read this earlier while in the Sobey's parking lot. You gave me such a good laugh so early in the morning!

Hi Hon
I ahhhhh work at a school and need 50 boxes lol lol. Sorry everyone but first come first serve,,usually I am very polite and nice but when it comes to airmiles,,,ah not so much,,at least that's what my sons say.lol
Hugs to you
Mel

lets see 50 boxes times 6 in a box = 300 granola bars,,sheesh I feel like Mort and the gatorade/pickle deals.
Maybe I should get 60 to be on the safe side?
BUT I will get 500 airmiles.

I caught myself calculating how much it would cost to spend $100 on just the granola bars. To get 1,000 air miles. Opps... 700 miles!!! Not 1,000.

 

[marcyleecorgan]

getting the kid to school and then, heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's Airmiles earning time I go....

I am BACK!
spent $315, earned 550 AM plus I got my 15 cents off a litre at Shell ! YAY

Now there is NO room in my house anywhere for any more food. Freezer is full, fridge is full, pantry is packed...

That was the food you purchased at Metro for the train ride? LOL You guys seriously like your junk food! My kids would love you.

Yes. I couldn't post an actual link (had trouble for some reason) but gave the website address. I found it on tastyrewards.ca. You have to sign up to get the coupon. I'm already a member as I always enter their contests as it is.

Tastyrewards also have .50 cents off Lay's chips (not the wavy ones). I gave the Sobey's cashier 2 of those to apply towards the buy 4 Lay's get 40 miles and she accepted them as well. Just checked - .75 cents off the Lay's wavy chips. That might be a better deal.

I was at the Oshawa (Taunton Road) Sobey's location and they accepted them.

My friend went to Foodland (Newcastle) and they accepted them as well.

Huh.. I was debating printing 10 more quaker coupon's and using them at Foodland (Oshawa) to get 20 more boxes and 200 air miles. Donate them to my kids' school. But it looks like I was only allowed to print once. It's greyed out and won't let me print again. Yesterday I just kept running them off my printer as my printer acts like a color photocopier as well. But I have no more to copy.

Where are your coupons from???

My Sobeys had a stand of Quaker products with buy 5 get one free coupons on the side, one per customer. So I used one of those and a tastyrewards coupon. The tastyrewards coupon print limit seems to be one per account, limit restriction on coupon is one per customer. Did you find others?

I spent $102 before tax, received 569 ams and then helped out my son with his miles, spent $34, received 135 ams. If I go out later I'll consider one more shop. I bought items everyone has mentioned plus the Canadian Bothwell red wine cheese, expiry March 2019 which I'll likely use during Christmas.

Well that couldn’t have been easier. I was in and out in 15 minutes and got everything I wanted. Spent $106.66 and earned 480 airmiles. Woohooo!

Last night I just did more on my printer rather than trying to get adobe to print another. I had trouble with adobe.

I didn't realize until a few minutes ago, when I tried to print another, that it was limited to 1 print per person.

I wasn't even sure I could use them, but I showed them to two different cashiers and asked and was told yes. As long as I was applying 1 coupon to 2 boxes.
