80 jars of relish for a 5 day ticket = $159.20 for a 5 day ticket. Canadian. $119.70 USD.
The west gets Blue Friday, we get pickles.

Couldn't resist posting this lol.

That is soooo tempting, where can I hide the jars.

My wife has already threatened me if I bring home a skid, I will be sleeping on the skid. But yes I plan on picking up a few and making donations to the food bank with them.

I am planning to donate as well.

I'm off to get more pickles/relish tomorrow. One of the two stores near me received a shipment today so they will be fully stocked tomorrow.

Edit to add: They weren't!

I used it yesterday with my purchase. I will let everyone know if it shows up. The normal points transferred...not sure how long it will take for the 100 points. I never trust those things.

I have found in the past, The Bay posts the bonus miles within reasonable times.

I have used these coupons for the Bay before with no problem, the question I was trying to answer for @kerreyn (correct me if I'm wrong here ...) is can the coupon be applied to a previous purchase.

I have just opened an e-mail with this goodie in it but when i click on the link to "learn more" it takes me to the flyer with no further reference?? This will be their attempt to fix the last blunder when the cash mile programme was down

Has anyone on the east coast ever seen these bonus miles offers for spending cash miles? I've never seen these before....

Just wanted to give an update on my Foodland experience today....We went just after opening and most of the shelves for the Bicks buy 2 get 75 AM were cleared out. I talked to the manager who advised that someone came in on Thursday and cleaned them out of all their relish and most of their pickles - he said he had ordered 40 cases and has only limited stock left so he is only putting some on the shelves and as they sell he will replenish. Also, as a result of the person cleaning them out, they now have a limit of 4 pickles/relish etc per person and they will more than likely be putting limits on these types of promotions in the future to prevent people from coming and cleaning them out. He understood about the AM and WDW tickets as well. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that limits may be coming in the future.

I'm not surprised. This wouldn't have happened if people had approached the store manager and ordered in a couple of cases to be picked up early in the week. I'm pretty sure that the managers would have obliged because then everyone would have been happy.

I notice I've got a spend $50 get 100 airmiles rexall in my offers. That is the best one I've seen for rexall in the west recently.

I'm laughing at the pickles, lol.

Mel, thanks for posting this. I was considering getting a ton of relish and donating it BUT I realized I actually need and will use a similar quantity to your purchase.
It pushed me to head out to the Rockwood location and I bought almost the same combo (they had sauerkraut too so I bought one of those)
One thing I did see is that a few jars of banana peppers had a 50cent off coupon attached so I used two of those and left the rest.
Just an fyi, keep your eyes open everyone.

I sat in my car and thought about going back in but decided against it. Now that I am home I am kind of kicking myself!

Thanks for posting! I will try to use some of the STB miles!!

One of the Foodlands I went to had a sign with limits (6 jars) (so I went two separate days). The other Foodland did not have limits and we only got two pickles there. Definitely the people doing the clean-out of stock may well ruin these good deals for the rest of us (or the stores get smart and just put a daily limit on it)

 

[dancin Disney style]

OK....not sure if I fall into the 'shelf clearing' category or not. LOL

I had an errand to run this morning and decided to make two big detours which got me to two different Foodland stores. The first store the shelves were already empty at about 9:30am, except for a couple of jars of pickles. It wasn't me! I had to ask if they had any relish in the back which they did but it was going to take a while for them to get it as the truck had just arrived. They only let me have 4 jars of any item. I got some pickles, and a couple of different relishes. All of which we will eat. Then went on to my errand and after that a second Foodland. I got to the second store around 11:30am and they were well stocked with everything except the $1.99 sweet relish. Another customer was furiously loading her cart with all different kinds of pickles(I was tempted to ask her if she was from this thread) and then she asked a staff member if they had the sweet relish. He said yes and brought out a case. I then take two from the case and ask him if there is more and would they consider giving me a whole case. He said yes. Brings it out and then we chat a little as he mentioned what a great deal the AM on that item is. I proceed to tell him that I'm making the purchase for the food bank and any chance of getting a second case???? He laughs and says 'sure'.

So in total I got 38 jars of relishes and pickles. Spent $86.40 and earned 1527 AM. I will be keeping 8 items and the rest will go to the food bank on Monday.

Am I crazy if I consider going back on Monday?

That is a great idea to give them to the foodbank!

You are lucky that the store was not limiting your purchase. I think that is great that they let you buy 2 cases and that you are donating them to a food bank especially with summer just around the corner...the manager at the store I went to (our first visit to this Foodland and it won't be our last, it is a small store, perfect for my senior mother and very clean) said that he hopes there will be more on the truck on Tuesday...he told me to call first before driving over and he would let me know if there was any relish in their shipment (relish was on my list for this week so the AM deal would be great).

Love this. How many are in a case? I, too, was thinking of buying for the foodbank. With summer around the corner, I'm sure that they will be used.

 

[DizzyDis]

Good to note about calling ahead to the store and pre-ordering a case. I tend to stock up for some of the Campbell's soups offers (we eat a lot of it and my husband really likes the boxed soup or lunch at work) but have never thought about calling ahead. Congrats to all who were able to stock up for either their and/or food bank benefits! Hope we have a similar fabulous deal here before too long!

12 in a case.

Funny, in my house I'm the only who uses relish but I like a fair amount on burgers or whatever. I figure the jars I'm keeping for myself will only last until mid fall.

No sweet relish left at my Foodland store. Only some pickles and hot peppers left. I will try again on Monday as I will be in the area anyway. I was in a rush and didn't want to spend time asking about availability.
