Do you know can we use our shop the block with blue Friday? I guess the term is stack? I’m looking at a huge foodland shop.. well oatmeal and chicken and Doritos ha ha maybe a little meow mix

Totally forgot about the Foodland StB coupon. I was planning on using it later in December. With a quick little re-balance between Foodland and Sobeys I can use that coupon at Foodland and DH email offer of $40 get 40AM along with Blue Friday specials.

Thanks for the reminder.

I've just finished planning my attack for Blue Friday. If all goes as planned I should come home with 900AM on a $220 spend. For those who like spreadsheets doing up the "plan" on one really helps keep things focused and organized.

just make sure to check dates i hope you’re lucky enough to have a STB coupon that includes this week, but out west our grocery store coupons don’t start until december.

The StB coupon is for Foodland, not Sobeys. But thanks for the reminder about the dates. I get confused so easily when trying to stack multiple offers (hence my spreadsheet and no husband this week). Just me and my brain and all the time I need.

I don't see a lot on the blue Friday that we need/want, and I don't want to spend $100 or more this week! So I have a list, will get some oatmeal and doritos for the boy but generally keep it under $75 for the week. At least that's the plan so far!

Sorry to burst the bubble gang but BOTH coupons have this wording on them so it becomes a question of which do you want?
Looking at the middle amount on the StB coupon you get 40 AM for $80 OR Using the Blue Friday offer you get 75 AM for $75 HOWEVER if the StB coupon brings you up to your 7th coupon you will jump from 1000 AM for 5 (or 6) offers to 2000 AM for the 7
(the Foodland one is too fuzzy to share this is from the StB coupon )

Yup, us as well! IF we go we'll only get the big offers for items we want/need and take those miles as a win.

Haven't looked at the Blue Friday yet I was checking my AM cards first. Just received 20AM Bonus from Airmileshops.ca haven't got a clue what they are for. I haven't ordered anything on DH account since the August online promotion. Any ideas? I'm not going to call AM to have them take these back they will make up for the Sobeys loaded AM which never posted.

I just got 20 miles as well and I ordered from them in October so maybe there was a promo on then.

Me too no idea

It's showing up on our secondary account as well but not on the main card. I get these bonus miles, randomly from the online shopping -- as much as 75 once -- and I've NEVER been able to figure out why but i just shrug and take it in the win column to make up for all the piddly miles I've chosen not to chase down!

Thanks for the catch on that one. I will do StB later in December as originally planned. It was only going to add 20AM to my total. Or maybe I will scale back my Foodland shop. Too many decisions

I have a $100 shop at Sobeys planned for 725 AM. I will be getting a lot of oatmeal, the kids eat it for breakfast every day, so it just moves when I buy it to this week rather than spread out.

Well I see for Blue Friday...they are getting smarter...doing 2 coupons...spend 100 get 100 Am and spend 200 get 250AM. They must have caught onto people doing 2 or more separate transactions. Hoping for a $100.00 shop on Friday. And I even took a holiday day on Friday...so I can get there a little earlier, but not too early as I might want to sleep in a little bit on my extra day off.

Nice. May I ask what you are purchasing?

Where do you see a Spend $200 get 250 air miles in a Blue Friday flyer? Sobey's? Foodland? Mine (Ontario) say Spend $100 get 100 and Spend $150 get 150.

 

[Disney Addicted]

Remember those Spend x amount and get x amount air miles, use up to 5 times that people were receiving via e-mail from Air Miles?

Did anyone notice the fine print says excludes "fluid dairy products"? What the heck is that? Do you think they mean all milk products??

EDITED: Chatted with UBAH. It depends where you are located I guess. I looked at the T&C on my offer (Ontario) and mine does not say excludes fluid dairy products". People in other provinces may have that exclusion. If you do, he says it applies to ALL dairy products.

WOAH! Thrifty Foods is having Blue Friday this week!!!!!

Of course, the awesome oatmeal deal is $1 more here than in Ontario but still, BLUE FRIDAY FINALLY!

As of right now, it is looking like I have a shop planned for 465 AM. Not as amazing as some but most of the things on for Blue Friday are not things we eat.

Plan:
8X Oatmeal (for the snack baskets at the office) $28.00 - 200AM
8X Fibre 1 (my son loves these!) $23.92 - 60AM
2X Sugar Twin (for home and the office) $8.98 - 25AM
2X Nestea $11.98 - 10AM
8X Sparkling Ice water $10.00 - 20AM
I'll need some fresh produce as well to bring my spend up to at least $100 for the 150AM bonus

I may add more of the Fibre 1 bars because they are a decent price and I know they will get eaten for sure.

@Donald - my hero , will my Loaded spend $130 get 35AM work with the flyer coupon of spend $100 get 100AM?

 

[Donald - my hero]

@Donald - my hero , will my Loaded spend $130 get 35AM work with the flyer coupon of spend $100 get 100AM?

I'm afraid I can't answer that question because I never met any threshold spend with Sobeys or Foodland. There's been discussion about it here before and it seems to be ymmv situation some have said it worked whereas others haven't had it work. So I don't know what to tell you about that maybe someone else can weigh in

it hasn’t worked for me out west

Does anyone know who I would contact if I did a shop at Rexall and the Load and Go offer for one of my products didn't give me AM's? I don't want to go back to the store, it was a bit of a issue to begin with. Neo Citran on sale for $9.99, I have a load and go for 10 AM. Bought 2 (knowing I would only get miles for one) but the price rang up at $13.99 each. She had to do a refund for me and that started a chain reaction where the manager (she's not nice) scanned other boxes, which rang in properly, and keep looking at ME like I was trying to scam them.
Anyways, who would I contact?

Got a Shell email, shop in store 4 times (min $5 spend) from Nov 21 to Dec 18 and get a bonus 50 AM. Should be easy enough (lottery tickets count) and I'll use the STB coupon as well so lots of airmiles! well some extra ones any way
