It's Dollar Days out west for Safeway/Sobey's this coming week. Good prices, minimal air miles. Rexall isn't looking too promising either, but I should be able to put together a list a little shopping trip with Monday's bonus.

Links to the flyers are all updated in the first post now

If there are any that I've been missing, let me know so i can add them in. Currently I have: Rexall, Sobeys, Foodland & Metro up there along with any Rexall coupons that are valid.

Does anyone know if Sobeys takes AMEX?

I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to get to that $400 level. Most of the places I've tried don't accept AMEX, and there's just not that much I need right now. Fallback plan is gift cards from Shell.

YUP! They take AMEX. Everyone should check their email because i just got another bunch of coupons that i can use when we hit the store tomorrow night. Email came from Airmiles and the subject is "Fall for these Foodland offers. " the coupons are good at both stores. Use 3 get a bonus 10 AM, use 4 get a bonus 25 AM

If you didn't get the email try this link' Let me know if it works for someone, if not i'll delete it

Is this "bundle your offers" with Sobeys? Do I need to sign up with Sobeys for this? I have a Sobey's APP on my phone and just checked it. That offer doesn't show up. Does everyone get different offers? Oh, and when it says "1 day left" on an offer - is it referring to today as the last day, or tomorrow?

When Metro had their spend $100 get 60 air miles last week, I had a bunch of other bonus air miles in the same purchase.

Today Metro posted the base air miles and those extra bonus miles - but not the 60 for spending $100. I'll be keeping an eye out for that. Still have my receipt. Did anyone get theirs posted?

The good thing is you do have until the end of the month to spend the $400.
If you have a Walmart near you, try shopping there, they price match virtually all stores on Flipp.

Coupons for Sobeys/Foodland

The link worked and got me to my "Offers and Promotions". The coupons (for me anyway) appear to be for my account only. Just a reminder to everyone that they need to use their own AM card with these coupons. The last 4 digits of my card are printed on the coupon I had access to.

I didn't get the email about this promotion yet so thanks for the link Donald.

 

[Disney Addicted]

Oh and there are printable coupons for the Tia Rosa Kits at SmartSource for $2.50 off!!!

Thanks! Will Sobey's accept printed coupons?

 

[Debbie]

Link worked. I didn't receive an email about these as far as I can tell. Thanks!

Thank you. It worked for me, too. Typically, I print and then get the booklet in the mail. I don't recall getting the email, but when I clicked on your link, it took me to my page with hubby's name on it. [I really should get that changed to MY name, since he doesn't even have an AMEX card and I do all the work!]

Question about Sobey's flyer, their app, and the "Fall for these Foodland/Sobey's" coupon offers I printed (which have an expiry of Oct 22).

The app shows coupons loaded to my air miles card which expire from 1 to 8 days or so.
The printed coupons have an expiry date of October 22.
The flyer is only good for the week.

So some items have bonus air miles on two of these. For example, the APP says "cracker barrel cheese = 7 AM" is loaded to my card. However, I also have a printed coupon that says I'll get 7 AM. Will I only get 7 AM once regardless or will they stack and I'll get 14 AM?

Does anyone know?

 

[ottawamom]

I believe I have received 14AM for such a purchase in the past. They could have changed things so you'll have to try and see.

I was just reviewing the Sobey's flyer and if you purchase $15 worth of Greenfield meats and swipe your AM card you get a $10 Sobeys GC. Good deal on the meat with this little perk.

So my dilemma is that there is a promo on PC points this weekend. Spend $100 get 15,000 points. I guess I will have to see the Sobeys flyer to see what I might want to buy.

Does anyone think it would be worthwhile to buy the Visa gift cards from Sobeys using my Amex to pay? I realize that there is a $6 fee per card. I would need 2 cards(maybe 3)so I would get the 40 bonus, 20 for using my Amex and then it counts towards the Amex spend $400. My daughter needs to get her books for uni this weekend and the stupid school payment site won't take any of my credit cards so I could give her the gift cards. The only down side to her not paying with the school card is that she won't earn the 10% bookstore rewards.

I would be doing the PC in this case. Thats 15% back on your money. The Sobeys you are actually losing money on.

Nope...my situation is the same as yours.
