Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[Donald - my hero]

catching up on the board here tonight - nobody wrote anything today just 4 posts Slow day for Air Miles

I don't know about anyone else but i kept getting the stupid message "An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later." in tiny print at the top of a very empty page.

This is my tiny piece of quiet in the storm and I was feeling a tad lost at times .. OMG what if there's an awesome offer right now & i don't know??

Nothing good in the Safeway flyer this week. Some decent deals price wise, but not AM. I find whenever they have good prices on stuff, they don't have bonus airmiles. l need to start spending my AM cash and tuck my saved money into my trip fund!

Oh Sobeys Ontario has 20X the Airmiles when you spend $100 or more Fri/Sat/Sun... not sure I wanted to spend that much this week but we'll have to see what's in the flyer I guess!

You need to do the math it's only on base miles so for the $100 you'll get 5 x 20 (100) the only advantage compared to the regular threshold spends in my mind is if you spend more than 100 because you'll still get the 20x .

We won't be able to use that or the one from metro, the last 2 weeks we've earned 1 base mile and a couple of bonus from our targeted offers. Now that I make all of our bread and baked goodies, and prepare and then freeze massive portions of meals we're rarely spending more than $45 a week at grocery stores. Once a month or so that is higher when I need more protein and/ or cleaning supplies.

 

[alohamom]

does anyone know if the Sobeys 20x multiplier this weekend is only on base miles?

I assume it is but you never know.

I have never done one of these at Sobeys but I think I can get to $100 pretty easily.

 

[alohamom]

oh LOL-the mighty duck was answering my question as I typed it!

Thanks @Donald - my hero

Well that was depressing. I went through all the flyers, even IGA. Nothing AM wise. I guess it will just be an old fashioned (pre AM type) shop for me this week.

I don't think I need $100 at Sobeys or Metro but I could be wrong. Maybe I'll get a roast of beef for dinner on Sunday. If I stock up on some meat I could get there.

 

[hdrolfe]

I can probably do $100 at Sobeys or Metro... but I need to know. Sobeys has a new "meat bar" and I must know what this is! I have asked everyone at work... is it like a bar of jerky? how would you eat that? I'm always looking for ways to get more protein into kiddos life and he likes jerky. But this bar thing looks weird.

The yogurt and healthy choice entrees on the last page of the metro flyer are things I buy anyway, I think I can get 55 (2x20 and 1x15) AM for those, so if I do my regular shopping at Metro this week for those and other things, I think I can do the 155AM for the 100AM/100 offer that needs to be loaded on my card. Not too bad.

 

[CanadianKrista]

Hmmm...so that airmileshop promo on the weekend was different from what I thought - it had "5x on most shops" and then the shops themselves had multipliers. I thought that I would get the multiplier on the shop, but instead I seem to have gotten the 5x and the 3x that was on Indigo:

29 Oct 18

CHAPTERS.INDIGO.CA 1 REWARD MILE FOR EVERY $20 +3
29 Oct 18

CHAPTERS.INDIGO.CA TRIPLE REWARD MILES +6
29 Oct 18

CHAPTERS.INDIGO.CA 5X YOUR REWARD MILES +12

I will happily take the extra 12 miles, but now I wish I had done more!

IGA has 95AM/200$ IGA GC. Not as good as the offer from Sobeys and Foodland earlier this month but since I couldn't drive to ON then, I will get some from IGA and keep them for Blue Fridays.

Foodland has 15X on 75$+ so not bad if I was closer but not worth the 1h drive.

 

[Donald - my hero]

Dang I thought the same thing you did about the online shopping bonus, didn't think it was in addition!!! I was contemplating putting together an order for the bay to take one last kick at Bay Days with the plan to pick it up tomorrow afternoon when I'm in the city again. Talked myself out of it for only 3x and now I still need to go to the bay and miss out on those extra miles

 

[Disney Addicted]

I think I'm addicted to those mug cakes. The brownie ones are particularly good. I hope they don't have a good airmiles deal again soon... my waistline can't take it!

Turns out I don't like them. The kids do and are happy I bought them so that's good. It must be the way I'm making them. To me they come out too dry... I prefer my cakes on the moist side. Maybe I need to add more milk than it calls for? I tried dropping the microwave time down but that didn't work.

Any ideas what I can do?

I would add a little bit of oil, butter or even give it a center filling like nutella or peanut butter

I use water and the lowest cooking time suggested. They seem to come out ok.
