It's Blue Friday in New Brunswick today at IGA if anyone can take advantage of it. I was checking to see if it might be Blue Friday in Quebec but no go on that one.

It was Blue Friday at IGA yesterday. Went during my lunch hour by metro (subway) and bought a few things but not much. No frozen chicken or ice cream for me since it would have melted before I got home.

Totally missed that one. I must have been looking at the wrong flyer. Boo. I think I must have only looked at the front page and as I wasn't like the one from New Brunswick I didn't read further. I could have made another 150AM.

Shopped at Safeway today using the spend $100/get 100, did the 50AM Christie offer and had a spend $125/get 60AM loaded offer so spent $135 for 225 AM. Not bad for a non-Blue Friday.

Just had another great interaction with one of my favourite customer service agents, Michael! I had an Epiphany over our park tickets for January. Our plan was to wait for the 7 day tickets to pop back up on the site, get one and then when we arrive upgrade it to a 10 day hopper to match the one we're getting with our Air Transat credit. Lightening bolt moment hit the Duck, why not use Personal Shopper to get the actual ticket we want in the first place!?!?!?! Checked online chat and it's closed on Sunday but not to be thwarted I tried FB messenger. Michael responded and asked if he could call me to discuss what I want. Call took maybe 10 minutes (mainly because I asked if we'd chatted before and that took us down a rabbit hole!) the request has been submitted and we should hear by next week at the latest. We figured it makes more sense to get as much as we can before we leave home and this is a great use of our miles!

Do we think that Air Miles are actually working on something BIG (according to their message on airmiles.ca)?

Every time they say something like that I hope and pray it is adding the cruise option to redtag.ca!

Happy Canada Day!

What is everyone up to today? I was hoping to spend the day scrapbooking but so far I made everyone breakfast; cleaned up the kitchen; tidied the main level; got the kids to take out the garbage and vacumn; and I just finished mopping the floors. Then to shower; my friend is coming over to help finish the front garden; and then cut more fabric for my daughter so she can get back to sewing her quilt.

Sheesh... hopefully after I make lunch for everyone I'll get to sit down to scrapbooking for 2-3 hours. LOL

Have a great day!

Happy Canada Day!
I was up early and filled the tank up at Shell,,,their 2 L bottles of pop 2/$5 = 10 bonus airmiles.
I had a sorry for the inconvenience Shell coupon and got an extra 10 bonus airmiles,,(problem activating a gift card ) a few weeks ago.
My plan is laundry and chillin in the backyard,,(weeding).
Have a great Day!
Hugs Mel

Airmiles site**My hope is I finally get the 150 airmiles due to me that I emailed them about two months ago.
Red Tag cruise addition would be nice as many here are hoping for that.

From a family who has dealt with system updates I'm gonna guess it's not to add anything "exciting" to the rewards but more likely just what they've said, time to update the system! Have I been the only one who has landed on the "welcome to the BETA site" home page over the last 2-ish months? I actually really liked the cleaner and more interactive home page and if that's what they're migrating to I'm happy. It could be something as drastic as needing to do an actual physical move of the hardware and it would be a nightmare for them if the system was to reset for anyone mid transaction!!! More than likely though, it's just the software end of things, think when the DISboards were down for a few days earlier in June, same thing, things will look different come tonight. It's a great time for them to be doing this because a lot of their staff is off on stat holidays anyway. OH, if anyone is in desperate need of contacting customer service, according to Michael yesterday, the Facebook messenger part is open today. (he's thrilled because he gets overtime AND holiday pay )

I did all my cleaning yesterday, today is laundry. It's been raining/pouring/thundering all weekend in Halifax! Booo.

I'm working on a t-shirt quilt... 4/12 panels are stitched and ready to be attached to each other!
Have to entertain later for Canada Day today and hoping that I can convince DH to do some meal prep cooking outdoors while we are grilling so we don't have to heat the house!

I convinced him last night (the last night of the $100/100 AM promo that he was the Only Hope of having a decent BBQ because I know zip zero zilch zip-de-doo-dah about selecting good meat...
*rockstar dance* We managed to come away with 236 AM from the experience... y'all know this puts us past my goal! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Happy Canada Day everyone. I was out in the garden all morning weeding. Blew up my inflatable pool and filled it with water to warm up. (Grew up with a pool and the only way I can cool off is total submersion in water) This little one will have to do till I can convince DH we need one of those swim spas. It's a work in progress but I'll get there (5 year plan).

Had my shower, finally, now I'm clean and cool and plan on staying that way. We've got people coming for dinner and then we'll be off to see the fireworks from Parliament Hill (from a distance, no way I'm going downtown today) at 10:00 tonight. Fireworks are nothing compared to any of the ones at Disney but heh they're ours.

We have one of those Intex pools. Haven't put it up the last couple of years, summers are just getting way too short and the only hot weather we get we are away camping during that time.

I would LOVE a swim spa! Or even a hot tub! Just turn the heat down to 80 degrees in the summer and and you have a heated soaker pool!

Shopped at Safeway today using the spend $100/get 100, did the 50AM Christie offer and had a spend $125/get 60AM loaded offer so spent $135 for 225 AM. Not bad for a non-Blue Friday.

Did the 50AM Christie offer appear in the receipt? I did the Christie offer and the 30AM Pepsi offer and neither appeared on my receipt.

Getting ready to head out and opened up the Rexall webpage to check for any coupons and stumble across a one day only coupon. It's about a week early for the double-up coupons but I'll keep my eyes open for the possibility - last month we ended up with 3 that worked with varying degrees of success

Spend $50 get 100 AM valid Wednesday July 3rd ONLY

ETA: checking to see if there's any difference to the AM webpage (i don't see anything at all .. not even the fancy Beta site i was enjoying before) and found THIS ... not sure what's up because the flyer mentioned this offer expired on Sunday but this says it is good until Thursday .. wonder what's up and if they'll be forced to honour it when we complain!

My 50 AM for the Christie did. The cashier commented on it as being a good deal.

The Christie offer appeared on my receipt.Sobeys.
I would try going back to the store with the receipt and flyer and ask them to manually add the airmiles.

Was hoping to do some shopping at Safeway...but sadly...we didn't get out shopping until yesterday. I did pick up some chips for 40 AM on Friday. So I will take that. We did slip into Safeway yesterday to pick up a roast. The hubby bought an Instant pot On Sunday at best buy for 99 bucks. We had been tossing around the idea of getting one, but at the price he decided to just get it. So Yesterday was test driving that baby. I made some chicken noodle soup in it for lunch which was very yummy , and he wanted to try a beef roast for supper. It was ok. I'm not a beef roast person But they liked it. I think we will end up using it quite a bit. Might hit Safeway again tonight to pick up something to toss into there, and take advantage of the customer appreciation today.

Fingers and toes crossed for a good Blue Friday sale..
