Airmiles Armchair Chatter

I'm only seeing about 125 airmiles from this Sobey's flyer (will get some cleaning products, 2 of the 25 mile meal deals, the General Mills deal twice).
Rexall is a bust for me as well. I'll be looking forward to the targeted coupon that starts Monday. I am trying to hit 250 a week, but it's not happening this week. I'm way ahead because of the gift card promo though, so that's good.

We do shop at Mark's quite a bit, but we don't need anything right now and I'm tying up a lot of money in gift cards. Not sure on that one.

Assuming I can buy just one lime at a time (or two to pair up with the avocado 2/$5.00 if you have to buy two to get that price):
$1.99 grape tomatoes
$0.40 lime
$2.50 avocado bag

Those are great prices to start with. Guacamole!

I have purchased 1 lime before with a promo (actually I've also been known to purchase 1 potato). Being able to double up on the meal promo seems to be on a store by store basis. Mine allows it. Others haven't been able to do it and get the AM on the second batch.

As long as I put the produce up on the belt separated by a bunch of stuff, (so one at the beginning, and another near the end, after they've already rang through the 1st one, I always get the meal deal multiple times.

The first of my gift card air miles has posted. Still expecting a few more.

The rest of my gc posted with Foodland! "Only" 1018 left to go. LOL

Yesterday's Rexall shopping has posted already and now my car has reached the end of the road! I seriously think it helped motivate me to work the system better!

The coupon for next week at Rexall is spend $30.00 get 50 --- link is currently targeted for me only but they should provide it for everyone by Monday.

 

[ottawamom]

Congratulations on reaching your goal. Time to set up a new one.

Congratulations, Jacqueline! Having a visual does help one focus on the end!

Revising my list,,I just needed a cup of tea.
I am so far behind even reading the flyers.
I think I'm good for about 75-100 airmiles this weekend.

1 Marks card ,,,my sister inlaw says my brother would love one for his Birthday next week.= 70 airmiles
1 minigo
1 oatmeal squares
1 box cereal (looking for apple cinnamon cheerios if they have them)
=20 airmiles
1 lime
1 package of avocados
1 package of grape tomatoes
=25 airmiles
Hopefully I get something in my targeted Sobeys offers that is of use.

I picked up 2 of the dinner and wine pairings for my son and daughter inlaw.
Thanks for posting this special!

I'm still waiting in my Foodland miles. Anybody else?

 

[bababear_50]

I feel like something is weird with the way my points are rolling in on the airmiles web site.
My Foodland 400 posted Sept 6th.... and my Sept sobeys posted Sept 3rd ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but 1915 Sobeys points from Aug have not posted.
I will try to be patient.

Sometimes Sobey's has taken two weeks to post some of my AM. Call if it goes past the three week mark. So long as you still have your receipts it's just a waiting game. Frustrating as all get out I'm sure.

 

[Donald - my hero]

Just reviewed the Sobey's flyer. Marks $50 GC get 70AM. Compliments cleaning products buy 3 get 25AM. Sausage, grapes, pizza crust deal looks good for 25AM (I will use the parts for other things), limes, avocados and tomatoes 25AM meal another possibility. I use the avocado in chocolate brownies.

WHAATTTT you can't just leave that hanging out there without giving us the details .... i mean .. brownies?? avocado???

(oh and yes my car is back on the road -- i chose to book the Sheraton Gateway in Pearson for the way down FIRST!)

 

[bababear_50]

We need the Brownie recipe please.

I'm still waiting on my points from the GC I bought. My points for the buy 4, get 75AM that I bought with the card has posted though. I purchased on Wednesday last week.

Did anyone else notice that the $50GC for Marks says 70AM on the front page but 75AM on page 10 of the Sobey's flyer? I wonder which it actually is.

Good catch
I kept thinking maybe I read it wrong

Here it is the Brownie Recipe. I can't take credit for it though it was one of the Sobey's deals this spring.

http://www.sobeys.com/en/recipes/chocolate-avocado-brownies/?f=768. This recipe even has a gluten free alternative.

My oldest DS (24) is a real picky eater and he loves these brownies. We haven't told him they contain avocados yet!

I love this thread! Just moved from BC to Ottawa, fighting with time changes and unpacking, yet I can just peek here and know what to buy…so thanks to all! Now I just need to find these stores

Quick question about the GC promos. DH needs a bunch of new clothes for work, I could potentially buy $200 of Mark's GC. Do you get more points for buying more or does only 1 count? If so, same transaction or multiple? Thanks!

Welcome to Ontario!!! There's at least one person who can help you with locations of stores .... @ottawamom For the gift card, if it doesn't say in the fine print a maximum you can buy as many as you want and each one will earn the bonus miles. Your best chance is to ask if you need to make them as individual purchases or not because that seems to be hit and miss. One store let me put thru 4 (and use a gift card to purchase if I bought at least one other thing) while another made me buy each separately. I've found that most cashiers are willing to help me work the system!
