Airmiles Armchair Chatter

[bababear_50]

Just got back last night.
And what was the first thing I did this morning...Head to Foodland..lol. And churned 1000am and only cost me $150, which I still have the $150 on a GC. The lady helping me thought it was a great idea and was doing it after her shift...lol...
So for anyone who hasn't taken advantage of it yet today is the last day, and they dont seem to mind churning the cards.
Good luck all.
PS. OT I am reviewing the poutine on the breakfest poutine link.

You Rock!!
I so want to try this but am afraid of being turned down or given the evil eye.

Never had any issues with loaded deal. But when you buy your GC, try buying one. Have the cashier finish. Then have her ring in the 2nd, and pay for with the first one. That is what we call cycling. That is how during this promo you could get 1000AM and paying $150 for the GC. Good luck.

The Foodland I bought at (Ayr) wouldn't allow that. It seems to be something that a lot of stores won't allow (Sobey's in Cambridge wouldn't allow it the last time they had the deal).

50AM meal - salmon for 3.99, radishes for 1.49 & snow peas for 3.99 (I will probably get two of this... I think it's what got me hooked on roasted radishes last year and one salmon? I need at least two!)
25 AM meals - pork tenderloin 8.99/lb, garlic 6.99/lb & baby spinach 2.99 each
thin sliced chicken breas 8.99/lb, cooking onions 1.99, roma tomatoes 1.79/lb
golden delicious apples 1.99/lb, pillsbury pie crusts 2.99 each, compliments natural cheese slices 3.99

If you use gluten free baking mixes the compliments ones are 15 AM bonus, but it doesn't list the price.

O/T (off Topic)
I found some great mens fleece hoodies at Giant Tiger (love the colors).
Oh my lord I have filled 3 medium sized baggies with lint and it's still filling up my dryer lint trap. I have washed them 6 times and the lint is everywhere....so sad because I really like them but unless I can figure out what's wrong I am going to take them back.Anyone ever have this happen?
Thanks

YES, i did with the very same type of item from Giant Tiger (love love LOVE that store) and i took it back -- their return policy is great and although I'd obviously washed it (duh, that how i knew it was a problem) offered to either exchange it (uhm no thanks) or refund. BTW this was last year --- i just couldn't stand the effort required to pick the coloured lint off everything else in the same load

Oh my goodness I love my Giant Tiger but even the washer is loaded with bits and pieces,,,I'm going to up half the night cleaning,,,,back they go.I bought 5 of them.
With my size (2x to 3X) and skin condition it is so hard to find light weight cotton/poly hoodies. Yes I will buy men's clothing if I have to.

Funny you should mention this. I bought a lovely soft fleece blanket from Costco for my sons bed. I washed his bedding and it's a constant barrage of little brown fluff balls on everything.. his sheets, his pillows, his pyjamas. I thought it would work itself out. Nope. Looks like it's just going to shed until it disappears.
Who makes something you can't wash?! It's a Queen size bed blanket. Surely the manufacturer didn't think we'd be hand washing?
I know I could take it back but Costco is two cities away and cuts into my airmiles shopping budget lol.

Tomorrow is our last day. In our small Foodland, the woman ahead of me was going to pay (part of) her order with a gc, and the cashier immediately told her to buy a new card and use both. She also mentioned that someone had actually bought 2-$75 gift cards and it worked, no problem. I only bought 2, but will go tomorrow, since there was a store issue with 50 AM for cheddar cheese. I didn't get it, but the person who had the 'override' key wasn't in. She'll be there tomorrow, so I plan on buying a couple more gc, which I will use for Christmas gifts, and having them give me the extra.
Has anyone had any issues with the loaded deals not working? For the first time, my purchase of Sensations Sweet and Salty Poporn (9AM) didn't come through, although it appears to be loaded. First time I've had an issue with any of the loaded deals.

I've just had issues with the way my Sobey's AM are loading into my account tonight. Hopefully it will work itself out by morning. If your loaded offers aren't working call the help # on the My offers section of their website. They will look it up and take care of it right there and then. It happens from time to time.

Looks like it might be a zero arimiles week for me. Nothing in the Sobey's flyer holds any interest for me this week. Rexall does have a promo that gives you 100 airmiles if you spend $50 on certain products, but I am well stocked up on those products.

That's ok, I am well over my weekly goal amount with the recent gift card promos so I can sit out a week. Good luck and Happy Shopping this week everyone .

Same here for me. Glad I whipped up my AM last week. Now waiting for the Foodland AM to post so I can order my UO tickets. No AM hunting for me this week! Happy shopping!!

Wouldn't it be nice that Sobey's in Ontario also offer GC bonus airmiles deal! Then I can keep cycling the GC from Foodland and Sobey's. Oh well! I will try to cycle next time. I did pay $750 for my GC.

They do the gift card offer sometimes. I have purchased $150 in Sobeys gift cards and gotten a ton of airmiles. It was the same offer as Foodland, same week, back in early June IIRC.
