Yes, but you got to see Star Wars land. I'd take the trade-off. Safe uneventful travels tomorrow.

i don’t think i’m going to bother with blue friday. i am in a real earning rut, but the offers this time around are just not on products we use or they’re not high enough to feel worth the effort.

good job to everyone who is taking advantage of good offers this week—i’m very jealous of your big returns!

 

[Donald - my hero]

Put me in the "no Blue Friday shopping" group -- not worth it for the few things we might pick up. The return isn't worth the effort for me, I'm happy with my Rexall haul!

Back from Blue Friday, I did 2 shops - first for blue Friday items, second for regular groceries so I could get the 100 bonus twice. Ended up with 747 airmiles which I am happy with!

 

[Days In the Sun]

Back as well, earned 736 airmiles, Quaker bars, Kelloggs cereal, Listerine and Uncle Ben's were the Blue Friday items. $136 spend. Coupons in front of the Special K cereal and Quaker bars.

Stopped at Shell on the way home for an Amazon $50 gc. 85 airmiles (25 base/promo and 2 shell/bmo personal offers 10 +50) as well as Metro 100 airmiles over the past two days. I'll do one more trip to Metro tomorrow or Sunday.

I am currently unable to drive due to an injury I sustained on Monday...word of advice...if you have cedars that need trimming, hire a professional Because while trimming one of our cedars, the trimmer and my pinkie collided and the trimmer won...4 hours in the urgent care and 8 stitches later, I am sporting a very large bandage that prohibits me from driving...which also means I will also miss out on Blue Friday...but on a positive note, I still have my pinkie...just very damaged!!!

Wow, count your blessings, glad you are ok. Hope it heals well and quickly.

I was going to skip Blue Friday because I have done a ton of shopping in the past 2 weeks.... but my co-worker had the flyer up on her screen and I saw that Bubly is buy 4 get 50 air miles..... so... I'm probably going to go buy $100 worth of Bubly. I buy it all the time anways, might as well get the miles. Plus I'll use my Sobeys card that I bought a few weeks ago when it was buy $200 in gift cards, get 100 air miles. Combined, I will net about 500 air miles. I'll just make sure to check the expiry dates first.

And I need to stop at Shell too for a $50 Amazon card. Thanks for the reminder, @Days In the Sun

Heather, get a tasty bonus for shopping at Sobeys .​

All you have to do is:​

1. Activate your offer. 2. Shop at Sobeys between August 29 and September 30, 2019.1 3. Pay for your qualifying purchases with your BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard and show your AIR MILES Card.​

I still have to charge about $200 to finish my Round Up offer, but now that $200 will also work towards the above offer!

Edit: Cash miles will have to wait until I complete these charges to my mastercard...
I think I am going to try the Sobeys e-gift cards with Cash miles. I really need to start cashing mine out as I have around $900 worth!

I did the Blue Friday shopping today at Sobeys and with the bonus offers and my loaded offers I earned 582 on a $202 spend. I will also get later the spend $100 get 75 bonus miles offer so now it becomes a 657 air miles shop . I collect my air miles as cash so I cashed in the $200 from my miles and used part of my $200 gift card to pay the rest. I bought the granola bars and am going to give them out for Halloween with the Popeye candy sticks I bought today from Dollarama. Can you believe that I have almost bought all my Halloween treats already and it is still 2 months away? I will probably buy something else to fill the gift baggies with before that time. I usually go out Oct 30 or even Oct 31 and buy them on sale or when one of the grocery stores has a bonus points day.

Sobeys shopping 101.36 net 335AM, not bad. They were out of tissue, needed it to cry in, So that would have added but did get rain check
Biggest blunder due to me not paying attention, had to let cashier know that I had my own bags 4 times, and then the person behind me correct my english. Instead of I got my own bags, please say I have my own bags. Grrr, stayed under control and thanked them for pointing that out. Distraction means I did not use my GC from previous weeks. Oh well, use it on other things. Rant over.

Looks like this blue Friday was a success for most
Decided to skip this one, don’t need more granola bars, no one seems to be eating them at my house anymore. We are pretty loyal to certain brands, and none of our brands were in the offers. For example, we only use Kleenex and Royale tissues, don’t like Scottie’s .

I did Blue Friday - 5x Johnsonville Sausages & 10x Quaker bars! Also picked up jalapeno peppers (only 1.99/lb at Sobeys right now) and bagels. 152AM and used $40 of AM cash so my OOP cost was $2.80.

 

[AngelDisney]

Saw this at Metro.ca: You get $50 worth of random products free with a minimum of $50 on your first online order. You don’t earn airmiles on the order though.
