Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Thats better, they use to have spend $30 on produce get 10. Then this new one you have to have the coupon for the $50 for 10. Hope with the produce you dont need that.

No coupon required says the ad. It is good until February 15th (Aurora, Barrhaven, Barrie, Cambridge, Glendale, Oxford and Wonderland, North Ajax, Flamborough, Grimsby) I hope I got all of them. The quality of the print on the newspaper was so poor I had to read it with my light up magnifying glass (no age jokes please).

I'm in Cambridge, so this works for me. I don't trust the no coupon required though - our Sobeys is so picky.

Only good deal at Sobeys this week in my opinion is the chicken bacon / chicken hot dogs that they've had a few times. I don't love them but for 50AM I will buy 2 packs of the bacon and be healthy. haha

Oh you missed the fact that i spend (easily) an hour or more a day searching for the perfect place to go .. checking weather charts to figure out best time of year .. using several Excel spreadsheets .. and talking this to death! It doesn't help that my FB memories for the last few days are simply pictures from the last 2 January trips to Disney We are real "carrot" people and having nothing to look forward to is depressing. I'm waiting for Jan 2019 prices to get released because that's the best time for hubby to take off.

I spend a lot of time researching vacation related stuff. I know that I spend an hour or more a day on that stuff. I actually really enjoy the hunt....it passes for entertainment in my house.

If you don't mind crispy bacon the chicken bacon tastes better when you crisp it up a little. I often buy turkey bacon but the last promo had me buying the chicken for the first time and I like it better.

I still have some left from the Shop the Block. Was not very impressed, lol.

Foodland is worse than normal. Only 1 AM offer - buy 2 McCain cakes ($5.49 each), get 10AM. Really? It's hardly worth them saying they offer AM is that's all they are actually giving. Sobeys says 1425AM in store, but only 95AM are listed in the flyer (and that would cost you $53, only the bacon is a "good" deal, and for something that people seem to be try to just make palatable, I can't see buying it!). Without the bacon it's 45AM for $43.

I wonder why they don't post more in the flyer? I'm tempted to go see how many my local store actually has, I just can't imagine it's anywhere near 1425. But I also can't imagine spending that much of my time just to see that...

That's when I bought mine too. Try seasoning it or cooking it with a little garlic butter. Maybe I'm good with it because I normally eat turkey bacon. If you read the nutritional label on the regular pork bacon it might make the chicken/turkey bacon a lot more appealing. Works for me every time

Even with no bonus coupons, I still was able to earn 43 AM with my basic shopping....

I really tried to like turkey bacon. Lillydale turkey bacon is actually pretty good. But I can’t even be convinced to give the MapleLodge stuff another go for airmiles sake. I hate it.

I might poke around the store to see if there is anything good in store. I have a feeling we’re going go through a bit of an airmiles drought after the Christmas time bonanza.

Has anyone received their 50 bonus miles for the airmiles shops website revamp promotion back in early November? It said they will be posted 75 days after the promo ends, which was November 9th.

Not yet, they still have until Jan 23rd I believe.

It's Dollar Days at Safeway/Sobey's out west, not much for me for air miles at all.

January blah's are taking over this thread so I'll add a little bit about the good fortune I had today. I've got a trip planned for May. Room discounts were announced yesterday. Looked and nothing available for my dates. Looked again this morning and I could get one room with the discount if I upgraded to a Pool View room. Not a huge saving, but I'll take any discount I can get (we're talking US$ after all)

Finished up the first room and moved onto room #2, nada. My mistake was I changed the boys room first not mine (I'm paying for this trip after and I didn't get the upgraded room (stupid me)

Tried again and again it would let me get through to the final page and when I hit enter it said "No availability". People on the resort board said to keep on trying, so I thought I would just check daily until something popped up. I'm a little impatient so I couldn't wait until tomorrow tried one more time online and poof! Pixie dust was sprinkled on my day and I got the second reservation with the discount. Once all was said and done and I received my confirmation emails I cancelled my original reservations (It's hard hitting that button)

Not an amazing $ saving as we are staying values but I feel like I scored a deal today.

On the airmiles front I get the feeling we may be due for a Blue Friday kind of deal in a week or so. Until then it will be Airmiles hunting (because we are going to have to hunt for the deals). Oh well I've got a freezer to eat through.

Sigh...I was sad to see that it was dollar days too...but with my loaded offers I might do a little shopping there and get a few miles. I was hoping for a good score on some gift cards...but sadly no offer for those either. I had a great AM haul in Nov/Dec. I have a feeling they might dry up for a bit for us in the west again.

Sobeys Urban Fresh
Sobeys ON

Metro ON

We checked the weekend forecast and based on the temps & dumping of snow happening this weekend we went to Metro this morning instead of Sunday. Spent $52.62 and walked out with a whopping 15 AM Only thing that was exciting to me was the fact that Red Prince apples are back in stock, my FAVOURITE, if you haven't tried them i recommend it highly!!!They only grow in Thornbury Ontario, harvested in the fall and kept in storage until now, they are tangy, sweet super, crispy and don't yellow when you cut them. They are sold in a cute little bag that looks like this

So remember that issue I had when I ordered the previous Canadian non expiring child's ticket from am only to be given the one that expires end of 2018 because they were out of the non expiry? Well....they never did send the shipping labels to return them so I called them today and was told they changed their policy to not have things shipped back (not sure what that means going forward...). So they put all the am from the ticket back into my account and told me to keep the ticket. Do you think the ticket would still work or do they notify Disney to deactivate it?

One of the reasons i use this specific formatting for my posts is when i need to search for info i can find it eas(ier) The fine print from this offer

You are correct, they have till Jan 23rd to post those miles. I made 4 purchases during that time frame with Amazon (i need an intervention i think!) and those miles all posted properly, base & bonus, but the 50 is still missing. Along with ALL the miles from the StB time frame. Don't know about anyone else but I've noticed the online portal is easier to use but LOUSY with the posting!!

Do you have it in your MDE account? If so you can tell if it's active or not. If it is BONUS! If not, oh well, you're not out anything.
