Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I just picked up next weeks Sobeys flyer at the store. It says there are 1425AM to be had instore. I counted about 120AM in the flyer. Nothing I would call a great deal. There is one good deal until Jan 4 buy 4 packs of Halls @1.25ea get 20 AM. My DS is eating them these days like candy (well almost).

On the plus side the Sobeys I shop at has a spend $50 Mon-Thu get a $10GC, so I took advantage of that.

Lol,,, my guys got a lot of Halls in their stocking ,,,,,,,,,,,,

Oh no! I've already done the Halls deal twice this month haha. Oh well - just checked and I'm just over 10K AM earned this year. Pretty content with that and looking forward to the new year!

Blue Friday out west again!

Just went to Shell. They still have 5AM per $5 spent in store and it sill works on gift cards. Love it!

My husband’s bday is in January and I needed another $25 Indigo gc to order one of his bday presents Will be doing that this week to take advantage of the 10x points on AirMilesShops. Love using the system to my benefit like that!! Also will keep in mind Starbucks cards are there and do that for reloading my app every once in a while!

I'm very shocked that there is Blue Friday for us out west again. I did do the last blue friday...It seemed like i found a parking spot right away, the store didn't have lineups at the tills. I walked in, picked up what I wanted , and only had to wait for one other person in front of me to go through the till. I has spent 145 and got 575 miles ( which haven't been posted to my account yet )

I'm not sure if I will pick anything up on this one. There are a couple of items that I would use...but honestly...just don't have the room in the pantry or freezer for them. I want the AM...but not sure where I could store some of the items. I guess we will see. I'll play it by ear again...like I usually do...see how parking is, line ups lol. Maybe the AM gods will be in my favor again

Just have to say, depending on where you live in the country, your garage shelf could be a good freezer right now (brrrr!) That's what I do at this time of the year. I just put a thermometer on the shelf to make sure things stay safe.

YEs had to bring my beer in or it would have froze...I am not a beer slushi guy.

Sadly, I agree. We had 2 bags of ice left over from hosting Christmas and they are sitting still frozen in our attached garage. Walls and door are insulated but not the ceiling yet. Temp had been hovering around -30 for the past week. (-38 to -39 windchill most days.)

I did not bad for the last Blue Friday. About 300 airmiles for $140 spent. My family is mostly plant-based so we could only take advantage of some of the offers.

I will shop tomorrow for the next blue Friday deal. Will probably stock up on items I received bonus offers for to make it worthwhile.

Wait! Just checked and it warmed up a lot. -18c Explains why one of the framers working outside next door is wearing a hoodie and not a jacket today.... lol.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Sadly...we don't have a garage ( it's on my wish list for the next home we hope to upgrade to in the next couple years ) So If i store anything outside...it needs to be boxed up...and i have to watch temps...and the stupid ravens. I have done it before...but not much for frozen I would be getting. Just wondering how much clam we will consume in the next couple of months

I use my garage for things most of the winter. I had to have everything ready Christmas Day for our extended family Christmas on Boxing Day, so that's where potatoes and carrots were stored. Potatoes were fine (I put them in the crockpot early), but the carrots were layered in ice by the time we needed to cook them at 1:00 LOL Just be aware of just how cold it is out there!

Awww thanks it’s been a rough year—i’m pretty excited to kick 2017 to the curb!

and it really is the perfect christmas movie. i hope you had fun

 

[marchingstar]

Aww sweetie, I'm so sorry to read of your heart break this summer! I hope you are able to share happy news with us again soon.

Just had to let you know that you are a girl after my heart when you mentioned your idea of a Christmas movie --- i had to watch it myself since it doesn't tick off many of the hubby's boxes: doesn't require handful of kleenex, isn't black & white, doesn't have lots of smulty music and has a few too many explosions & wickedly perfect deaths

My daughter had a miscarriage with her first pregnancy, so I know how absolutely devastating it is. Fast forward to today when we have a beautiful, 9 month old grand daughter. You will get there! Just give it some time!

that’s wonderful news thanks for sharing it. we ended up sharing our own good news with our families on christmas: we’re due in May!

that’s wonderful news thanks for sharing it. we ended up sharing our own good news with our families on christmas: we’re due in May!

Awwww....congratulations!!!! I know it may be a silly thing to say, but try not to worry too much with this pregnancy. It is going to be filled with anxiety after the last pregnancy but you need to just focus on this one and enjoy it. My daughter worried herself sick with her second pregnancy. It was really difficult to watch her be so consumed with anxiety. She was so excited to get pregnant the second time but so unprepared for the massive anxiety that would come with it. Many, many women suffer miscarriages but people rarely talk about it. It is important to know that so many go through it but yet carry on to have normal pregnancies and healthy babies. Try to savour all the little things. Write them down because there will be so many emotions and you are going to miss a lot!

I will share that I to had a miscarriage, it was my second pregnancy. I won't get into the emotions however I went on to get pregnant again not very long after the miscarriage. I had a wonderful son however he would not be here if the second had gone full term. Its a backwards sort of thing but I am now grateful for the way things went. I can not imagine my life without him, he fills my heart, and would not change things at all.

Marchingstar, congratulations. You may never forget what happened however I'm positive you will find your life full with this new blessing! Please share my congratulations with your partner.

thank you all so much for your kind messages. they’ve warmed my heart and brought a little tear to my eye. I’m so sorry to those of you who have experienced miscarriage, directly or indirectly. it really is so common, and such a difficult experience. but you’re all right: there are still ways to find joy and cause for celebration. And of course, we’re already thinking about that first disney trip with baby!!
