It really depends on the store and Cashier you go to.
I went to one Foodland this morning to purchase 5 gift cards. But I know that particular Cashier I dealt with will not let people put other gift cards with the groceries and pay for them with the Foodland/Sobey's gift card.
So I went to another Foodland right afterwards, purchased $95.16 of groceries and threw in $300 shell gift cards (6 x $50) and paid for them with the Foodland/Sobey's gift cards I had just purchased at the other store location.
I have not had a problem at Sobey's doing that either. I plan to purchase another 5 on my husband's air miles account and convert $450 into Shell cards. That way I'll have $750 for groceries and $750 for Shell. Each payday we take $150 of gas & grocery gift cards from our stock AND put $150 from our gas budget and $150 from our groceries budget back into our savings account, which is where I took the money for the cards.
Ironically I had just finished paying back the money borrowed from savings from the last time the spend $150 get 150 air miles was offered.
We'll have been married for 34 years come November and since we were both young when THAT happened, that puts us squarely on the other side of mid-50's. The "old" reference comes from how much longer it takes for everything to get working in the morning and ever notice how long it takes for anything to heal now and where do all the bruises come from that cover my legs & arms!!?? The shoulders that ache from the backpack are almost better once the next week rolls around, my knees, feet & back are screaming at me today after all the walking i did yesterday! Seriously, my brain doesn't think I'm this old so it lets my body do all those stupid things and then sits back & chuckles when i creak up the stairs at night
