It will be Rexall for me this week and maybe food Basics for a few groceries.
The Sobeys,Metro and Foodland flyer have very few if any airmiles deals for me.

Just checked the Sobey's/Safeway west flyer - no bueno. Looks like our best bet for AM this week will be Rexall.

On an unrelated note, DH and I are supposed to be going to Vegas next month. Between the possible Westjet strike, and now a possible strike with casino workers down there, I'm getting a little worried.

Time to update the flyer links and share my musings!
Sobeys:
Ontario has 2 that are *slightly* over my 1:1 ratio

• Dove soap $2.99 buy 3 get 15 AM
• Carnation instant breakie $6.99 buy 2 get 15 AM

Urban Fresh Flyer

• Same breakie offer but that's it!

Western Flyer

• Tre Stelle fresh cheese $1.00 off buy 2 get 10 AM (no mention of what the regular price is though)
• Villaggio bread & buns $2.99 buy 2 get 10 AM
• Van Houtte or Timothy's coffee $6.99 buy 2 get 20 AM
• Colgate products not only bonus miles but a math problem for the kids 2/$7 buy 3 get 30 AM
• Robax products $4 off get 20 AM (from my frequent purchases this will come close to 1:1 if you use the coupon you can find here: $3.00 off Robax )
• Your constant blood glucose monitor offer (curious here, is there a higher ratio of people with Diabetes in the west compared to the rest of the country??)
• Thurs- Sun spend $150 on booze get 150 AM
• Special discount on tickets to the Edmonton beer festival

Atlantic Flyer

• Royale toilet paper, tissues & paper towels $5.77 buy 2 get 30 AM
• Deli cut Parmigano Romano cheese $4.99/100 gm spend $10 get 25 AM
• Spend $20 on select General Mills products get 30 AM
• Sensodyne products $3.99 buy 2 get 8 AM
• Spend $10 on Dove products (soap not chocolate ) get 15 AM

Foodland
Atlantic Flyer

• $12 for a pizza and cheese bacon garlic fingers get 20 AM (looks like regular price would be $16.00 and those garlic fingers look a lot like a pizza!)
• Compliments chicken or turkey lunch meat $3.99 buy 3 get 20 AM

Metro is pretty bleak but there are a few things we will pick up

• Irresistible "ice cream on a stick" $4.99 buy 2 get 10 AM (hubby likes the pistachio ones more than anything else so BONUS miles!)
• Quaker granola bars 3/$7 buy 2 get 15 AM (math problem that works out 45 AM for a $15 if you buy 6 boxes)
• Quaker oatmeal & cereal 2/$7 buy 2 get 15 AM i use a LOT in baking hubby's bread & cookies

These flyers are getting sad! The hunting trips are not very productive and my list of "i'll need it soon, watch for sale and or bonus miles" is getting a bit unwieldy. I've started to run out of some items before they go on sale <gasp>

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Adding on for Atlantic, Lawton's has spend $35 on Our Compliments products, get 95 miles, and until tomorrow, buy $100 gift card, get 50 miles. I'll be doing both of those!

Has anyone who didn't receive the bonus AM for the Sobeys/Urban Fresh GC (MM) promotion receive them yet. I got the ones for the instore promotion but haven't seen anything yet for the MM coupon use (or maybe the other way round). Has anyone tried contacting AM directly? The promo was March 18?ish so it's been two months.

The travel vouchers I ordered on Saturday arrived today. LOL....the Fed Ex guy was supper aggressive too. He rang the bell about four times, rapid fire, and then started knocking.

Still have not decided where I’m going or if I’m using the vouchers I’m very anti-Sunwing but I get a discount with them and they happen to carry a few of the resorts on my short list. If I went with them the price is so good I wouldn’t even want to use the vouchers, even if I could.

Just to make my day even better...and give you guys a good laugh. I put dinner in the oven and forgot to turn it on. My stomach is rumbling so loudly it could wake the dead and as soon as DD finds out that she has to wait another 40 minutes I will be the dead.

Ughhh I've been saving my airmiles along with a friend to get 3 day universal tickets for December. All April and march it took 3600 miles.. I just looked and they uped it to over 4000 miles. Ive had the 3600 myself for the last 1.5 weeks, while my friend is struggling, and will now struggle more
You guys think maybe they upped it when they announced the 2 free days when used by the end of September deal, and will put it back down after?

Still waiting on the mega miles bonus to show up

 

[osully]

Another bust week for me at Sobeys. Will probably do some of the bigger offers at Metro (yogurt, cheesestrings, quaker chewy bars) and then get my usual stuff at Sobeys.

The problem is that it is a 3 park pass. Is that what you are wanting? If not, you can get the 3 park and then get some gift card credit when you redeem it for just a 2 park pass at Guest Services.

You could just get the 2 day and upgrade. That would only cost you a small amount and you wouldn't be reliant on air miles. The 2 day is only $375. I would get the 2 day, 3 park and then go to guest services and get what you want.

The 2 day 3 park is worth $319 US. The 3 day 2 park is worth is $285. You would be getting a $30 credit for each ticket if you just wanted to upgrade the 2 day 3 park to a 3 day 2 park.

I don't know if you'd have any luck trying to chase them down yet .. the company line of 120 days for bonus miles (was applied to the coupons as well) doesn't pass until August 10th Seems like it was forever ago but it's only been exactly 60 days since i bought mine.

DH just got put on a low fiber diet by his doctor... which is 180 degrees from where we normally eat. No whole wheat anything? No fruit and no veggies beyond soup/stew fare.... AUGH we eat VERY healthy, this is not easy!!!!
In some re-enactment of a Twilight Zone episode, I now have to go out to the store and spend money on white bread... *resists urge to spit on floor*

I keep meaning to respond to this and then POOF i forget yet again!!!
My hubby can't eat much fiber anymore and as time has passed even most of the white breads bother him unless the best before date is at LEAST 5 days out. It was a real switch when we had to go from the multi grain stuff he loved & the honey oatmeal type that was his favourite and eventually we found that the only kind he could handle was the thick sliced Villaggio or D'Italiano (have no idea how to spell those )

You might find that you are better able to deal with the white bread if you make it yourself! If you don't want to take the time to make completely from scratch pick up a bread machine. It will be ever-so-slightly healthier than the store bought crud and tastes SO much better. He's ok with fruits if we peel it or bananas work as well. Veggies i have to cook to the point of mush & same goes for most of his protein as well. I'd be happy to chat more if you want to shoot me a PM

Donald, that's what I was afraid of. More waiting. Thanks for the details.

On another note. I did my Rexall shop today. Spent $40 got 120AM. I just opened my email this evening and there is another email from Rexall (Ottawa area only) for spend $50 get 150AM. If I had only waited until tomorrow. Now I will have to figure out what I can purchase and put away for a rainy day. Here's the coupon for those in the Ottawa area.

I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.
Thinking positive thoughts!

Hmm, I didn't get this email, I wonder how we can check Store numbers to see where the locations are?

If you click on the link for the coupon it shows all of the stores that accept it. OOPS that's not what you asked, give me. A bit to check


ETA: I'm not saying this will be easy but... open up the coupon so you can see the list of store numbers and then go to this page to see the stores in your area, if you click on the show more of each store you'll see the number.

[TFC_UNTIL_I_DIE]

I don’t ever get these coupons either but I am in ottawa so thanks for sharing. They aren’t targeted to the air miles card just the store so they will work if you share the email

I have to go to a conference down in Toronto in June and will be there parts of 3 days so I will continue my sweep of shell for Home Depot and Canadian tire for gas gift cards. With my card and wife I can do 2 x $500 x 3 days or $3000 and 3300 pts plus 300 on MasterCard. June is going to be better than May. I will spend this on home projects anyways so may as well get them

 

[Donald - my hero]

Just got in from visiting 2 of my local Shell gas stations.
They would not accept Visa or Mastercard for payment of any gift cards. They said the payment has to be cash or debit?
Anyone else have this happen?
I guess I will still get the airmiles BUT it was nice getting the westjet dollars also by using my mastercard.

[bababear_50]

I am heading back to another Shell store in a few minutes to try again.
