Yes, sort of. Personal one day offers are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Tuesday offers you need to sign up for their text messages and they are the same for everyone and Thursday is senior's day so they don't usually send offers. There used to be some awesome personal offers, not so much any more, equivalent to 20x (30%) is usually the max and usually you have to spend $50+. This does vary though, sometimes you'll get a 4-day offer Thursday to Sunday (never when there is 20x promo on the weekend), sometimes offers at a higher rate in a category etc. Also, the weekday pattern seems to be that you'll only get one 20x equivalent a week, the other 1 day offers will be less, sometimes you won't get any. For example, this week I do not have a Friday offer, husband has 20x wus $100.

thanks for explaining

I have my Blue Friday all planned out - lots to buy for me so I will get the spend 100 get 100 as well as my spend 100 get 30 and any of the bonus items I buy. Sobeys is our regular store as it is 5 minutes away and I can walk there if I so desire (not for Blue Friday of course). Now to hope that the items are in stock when I get there. My paper ad doesn't come until after 7 tonight so I was thinking of walking to the store now to get one but I think that it is too cold for that so I will make due with the online version for now.

My local store is about a 15 minute walk away. Pre-baby, no way would I walk for Blue Friday. But now, we have a stroller with a huge storage basket--it's sort of turned into a habit for the kiddo and I to walk over and see how many bonus products I can fit in the basket!

Blue Friday
I made a visit to my Sobeys store to check on stock,,,then I decided to only do Foodland tomorrow.
I will hopefully get the chicken I want and some oatmeal,,maybe Nutella,,,cause I asked Google if I could melt Nutella

Maybe fresh fruit chocolate dip? Shhhhh....

If I buy the Tostitos and chips I will end up eating them and I am trying NOT to do this.

Tortillas dipped in melted Nutella sound like a possible game day dessert. Just thinking

 

[osully]

Dang. I actually do want to try the Buffalo Ranch seasoning mix and the Red Hot seasoning. I eye it in the aisle every time LOL. That on some homemade popcorn would be so good!

Has anyone used the Starbucks evouchers outside of Canada or the US? DS and I will be going to Europe in May and if I can pay for a couple of lunches with points, all the better. How do you use the evouchers? Do you need an internet connection?

I did a search since you got me excited about this, I'm off to Europe as well in a few weeks. Gift card info from Starbucks website (I imagine evoucher is no different):

Thank you! We’ll be in Germany, France and England (with flight stops in Ireland), so I’ll probably get a few to use for the UK/Ireland part of the trip. If they don’t work, I’ll just keep them for when I get home, so no real loss.

Good luck today everyone who is doing Blue Friday! Report back!

I have a feeling I will be asking for some rainchecks...

 

[Disney Addicted]

I haven't checked in the past week as we've been so busy around here.

I just wanted to let everyone know this morning I came across $1 off coupons for Tostitos tortilla chips and .50 cents off Quaker Instant Oatmeal at TastyRewards.ca.

 

[CanadianKrista]

Blue Friday was a bust for me. Quaker changed the recipe on the Cookies and Cream (and some other) oatmeal a while back to get rid of the artificial flavours. Sadly, it also made it gooey and gross and my son won't eat it anymore. Last week at Loblaws they had the old stuff back, which made for one happy kid. I was really hoping that Quaker had just reverted because it was so gross, but all both my sobey's had was the new recipe, and I'm not buying 12 boxes of something he won't eat, so no Blue Friday for me

 

[ottawamom]

Just back and have totaled up my Sobeys/Foodland shop. $214, 805AM, I was there at 7:30 and The Tostitos dips packages were already gone. Lots of oatmeal, chips etc on the shelf. Not sure how many Johnsonville sauages will be there later in the day. When you have to get 5 for the offer, the stock goes down quickly.
Foodland had a fair number of the Maple Leaf meat products. I thought there were only two in the package, was pleasantly surprised to see there were 4. It was a good deal.

We cleaned out the freezer last weekend and repacked it. Today after Blue Friday I still have room left in the freezer.

I was going to get up and be at the store for 7am but I just couldn't get going (and out of my warm bed) this morning. My guardian angel must have been watching out for me. There was a bad accident on the road I would have taken to get to the store likely at the time I would have been there. By the time I approached that section of road I heard about the accident on the radio. Quick turn at the next corner and I was on an alternate route to the store. Things happen for a reason sometimes (no Tostitos dips but I'm safe and sound).

 

[bababear_50]

I went to the Sobey's at Hazeldean and Terry Fox. They had everything on my list, and there were a couple things with some great coupons on them which made it even better. Tostitos, buy 3 get a free 12 pack of Pepsi, the Pepperoni sticks buy 2 get 1 free. $164, 30% savings, 300 AM, 7 cents off gas

Ooh. That’s good news actually.

Any Frank’s seasoning packets or jar by chance? I have a lot of bottles of their hot sauce left from the last Blue Friday so would rather try the new (to me) product.

I'm doing Germany, France flying AerLingus through Dublin. There is a Starbucks listed after passenger screening in Terminal 1, unfortunately I'm connecting in Terminal 2. So it would have been nice but not helpful this trip. We are at Disney April/May so no real loss either, I'll be using ours there.

 

[bababear_50]

Alright I caved in and went to Dobeys
5 jars of Nutella
1 package of braided apple strudel
4 boxes of perogies
4 bags Tostitos
4 jars of salsa

[Days In the Sun]

Caved as well. Spent $143 ($93 Blue Friday, $50 regular groceries), 598 airmiles and 7 cents and 4 cents off gas.

I did 10 Franks seasonings, 4 Tostitos, 12 oatmeal and 8 perogies. There were 15 Franks packets at 11am, I took 10 and left 5 for the next guy, we only buy the lime flavoured Tostitos (6 left, took 4). Only thing I didn't get was the hemp seed which was cleared yesterday as well. I didn't ask for a raincheck, only 15am and I really didn't want 5 anyway.

The oatmeal endcap had Quaker coupons, b3g1 free one coupon per customer. If you want to keep a lookout for them, they are black and white.
