That could work, kiddo does like "sausages" of all sorts. I assume I could freeze them too. Thanks!

They freeze well - I think I still have a couple packs in my freezer, but they’re small, so I’ll be getting another 5. Hubby was pretty happy when I told him they were on Blue Friday again!

Now if the weather would just cooperate so we can grill some, that would be great!

Oh, I have a 5 bonus miles on the oatmeal in my offers. Is that only good for one box? I'll take the 205, but the 260 would be better on 12 boxes

unfortunately it’ll just count on one box. but still, a pretty good haul!

I don’t see enough of what we would use to get up to a $100 Spend or justify a Blue Friday shop. When I made my initial list it was mostly junk food . So I think I’ve made a deal with myself to put what I would have made ( about $50 in airmiles) directly into savings and skip this one.

LOVE this strategy @pigletto !

I don't see much that we would take advantage of. I would do the nutella....we go through lots of it...but I buy 2 big jars at Costco for 15 bucks. My boys eat lots of peanut butter and nutella Sandwiches. The only thing I want to take advantage of is the laundry detergent. I still have a little bit of oatmeal from the last blue Friday special. So I won't stock up on that again. We are just trying to keep our groceries down and not buying so much in bulk but we will see what happens I just need another 900 miles then i have enough for flights for the 4 of us to connect in Calgary for our mexico trip!!!!

Is anyone doing the text to Shell offer? Does it print on your receipt?

I have two offers, personal 10am when you fill 25L and the text to Shell offer 10am when you fill 25L. Only one is posting on the receipt and I don't know which one. Both say they post within 4 weeks, text to Shell one says it's combinable with other offers, first one doesn't say anything.

The line that normally have the offer listed says 'Missing content for Offer: 19X01007

Yet again, in Atlantic Canada, we will only get 50 bonus miles if we spend $100 during Blue Friday. =(

For us, we will likely get some oatmeal, nutella or chips, as they are all approx. $20 for 100 AM. Oatmeal is $18, Nutella is $19.95 (probably donate most) and the chips (I have had to resort to hiding bags from ourselves, but we do have only 1 left now) are $22.

Which is a decent return, if our points were set to cash, it would mean only "spending" ~$10 for things we eat.

 

[kerreyn]

I've made my list - approx. 625 am for $125, which will depend on what our store has in stock. The Frank's Red Hot dip mix is a good return IF they have it. There's some good 'snack' food (salsa, pepperoni sticks, perogies) for the game on Sunday. My DD is thinking about having a super bowl party, so I might just offer to make some appies.

Wednesday flyer update! Finally getting around to the bread baking that was to take place on Monday but was postponed due to the who oven disaster so i have time on my hands while i sit here waiting to see how things turn out. It's already taking much longer thanks to the weather -- yeast took FOREVER to proof and the melted butter that goes in kept going solid while i waited on the danged stuff to get bubbling The oven took forever to preheat before the element went and now it's taking even LONGER (i was secretly hoping hubby couldn't find one so i would get a new stove!)

First post is updated and here's the links not already provided by Mel (hey lady, what on EARTH were you doing up at 3 am?!?)

Sobey's Atlantic Flyer
Urban Fresh Flyer
Sobey's Western Flyer
Foodland Atlantic Flyer

Here's what happening for this household (IF i can convince hubby to actually go to BOTH a Foodland & a Sobey's or heck even ONE!)

Foodland: The Prime Stuffed Chicken, Ham & Cheese ones fall under my "calculated risk" list so long as i don't have them more than once a week, every other week and we have them with mushroom risotto made in the Instant Pot giving me a really easy supper! They're $7.99 (AMAZING price!! on sale at Sobeys for $11.99 and we went out of our way last week to pay THAT at Longos ) buy 2 get 50 AM, which is a pretty darned good return IMHO because at that price we would be buying at least 2 anyway!!!

Sobey's:

• The Bothwell Cheese -- we fell in love with this stuff during STB in 2017 or 18, not sure which year it was. It will depend on the actual price and if they have the flavour we really like .. says starting at $6.99 buy 2 get 40 AM
• The braided strudel (SHhhh don't tell anyone in the get fit thread ) I have an unhealthy love of that pastry! The return isn't good by Blue Friday standards but ME LIKEY! $3.49 buy 1 get 10 AM
• Mayo -- maybe?? depends on which type and which size jar (confusing!) $4.99 buy 2 get 30 AM
• Nutella -- now why you ask, would a household with only 2 adults buy FIVE jars?? Easy, we have 4 adult children who all LOVE that stuff and if the date is decent, guess what they're all getting for Christmas I also adore the stuff but the rude dietician wants me to cut WAY back on my chocolate consumption, which was never very high but guess what I'm craving now!!
• Hemp Hearts -- I'll need to compare the price i pay at Costco for what size bag because this is something I'm supposed to add to my diet (not a real fan of it ...)
• Perogies --The bite sized ones have NO SPICES in them which means on the days when i get hangry and we need supper 10 minutes ago i can chuck those in some boiling water, toss some ham at them and POOF dinner! $2.49 buy 4 get 50 AM. That is the price we consider "on sale" at Metro so i'm happy with the return!
• Dish soap, gotta check where Palmolive is made, but i use 'cheap soap" in the laundry when washing the sheets & pillow cases (it helps remove the gross head oil a bald scalp creates!)

Other than the strudel and Nutella those are all things we buy & need anyway so I'd be happy to get the AM return and since i still have a ton of money left on Sobey's gift cards we won't be out any of this week's grocery budget!

I am.

I can't remember what the receipt says, but it posts. When you log into your AM account, it will says Text and get up to 100 miles

I am doing it as well and the receipt says -10 Bonus Miles - Exclusive offer and it shows up on my air miles account as shown above.

 

[Days In the Sun]

Ahh, thank you! Yes, it posted and says that, I didn't notice. Thank you so much, now to track and go after the other offer.

 

[Days In the Sun]

Are you doing both at the same time, exclusive and text? I didn't get a "10 Bonus Miles - Exclusive offer" posting only the text one posted. It's my husband's account, he just forwards his emails to me and I opted in, maybe I need to opt in from his account.

Nope I just get the 10 text miles so don't know why it shows as that. That is how it has showed up both times on my receipts.

Oh that's interesting. I'm going to try opting in again and see what happens, I need gas soon. Thank you so much.

For us it was STB 2016, I remember everyone didn't have it and it was the year of very specific items. We love it too and still buy it as well. I'm looking at Flipp and it says Balderson cheese not Bothwell (also Canadian). I think the last time I bought Bothwell I paid $4.99, the one I currently have in the fridge is 170g so they are comparable price points.

 

[Days In the Sun]

Blue Friday, I'm leaning towards a few boxes of Quaker and perhaps the Tostitos 2/$5 50 airmiles wub 4. And potatoes $1.99 no airmiles but I've been waiting for a sale price for a few weeks now.

 

[Days In the Sun]

Just info on Airmiles WDW Canadian ticket shipping,

I ordered 2 5-day tickets on one account and 2 7-day tickets on another. Just received shipping notification (5 days later) and both shipments are coming Fedex, different tracking numbers.

 

[osully]

Ooooh finally they have tons of things on Blue Friday that we will use!

I just hope they have adequate stock!

• Frank’s Red Hot - if they really do have stock of the 0.99 seasoning packets then that would be AMAZING!
• Tostitos (don’t think 4 bags will survive past our Super Bowl viewing party LOL)
• Johnsonville sausages
• Folgers coffee
• Palmolive dish soap
• Hellmann’s Mayo
