I think I will get 10 of the Frank dips (100), 2 of the Folgers k cups (30), 4 tostitos (50) (hopefully the garlic and jalepeno ones are included!)

We eat perogies, but I just don't need 4 boxes of them.

Oh, I looked up what flavours of dips and there are only two. Buffalo Ranch and Fiesta bean.

I might take a pass on BF this time. There is very little that I want/need and I feel like the required quantities are ridiculous this time. There are maybe three things that I would buy so I guess it will come down to what happens at work tomorrow and what I feel like doing after work.

ETA.....LOL, I thought today was Thursday. That means I have an additional day of work this week

I am going to have a look around at my Sobeys store tomorrow just to see what their stock is before I make a list for stuff. They have upped the quantities required again.....
I will be picking up the chicken (Prime) at Foodland,,just hoping my Foodland has more than a couple of boxes but trying not to get too excited about this Blue Friday.

If anyone was considering shopping at Rexall today to use the email coupon, DON'T! The flyer that starts on Friday looks AWESOME at first glance!!!!

Weekend threshold spend 50 get 100, lots of products with bonus miles that are over the 1:1 ratio

On my phone so can't share a link ---shhh I'm supposed to be sleeping

LOL Fiesta Bean doesn't sound very good. Buffalo Ranch does... to me. I make shredded buffalo chicken weekly in the Instant Pot so I can imagine that flavour instead being REALLY good. Or try 1 and donate 4 to Food Bank.

Todays -35 (wind chill) is def causing brain freeze. I think all work should be cancelled and fuzzy blankets with movies should be forced upon us all.

Nope, nothing in the flyer for me for Blue Friday. My list is full of really basic things: coffee, flour, bacon...

Just back from Sobeys (Ontario), finally got the rest of the Barilla pasta from the last Blue Friday. Cashier told me she had checked out the guy that took all of them right at store opening last time, she said his cart was full. So I guess I have to beat him there tomorrow if I really want anything. I don't think that will happen lol.

Shelf checked a few items for tomorrow:

Tostitos: lots, all flavours included in sale price so I imagine all included in Blue Friday
Quaker: lots
Frank's dips: only had bean and only 6, no buffalo (maybe they'll have more tomorrow but I doubt it)
Frank's other products: $2.49 very small bottle (6 on shelf), other bottles $3.99 (reg size) and $5.99 (large size)
Balderson cheese: every variety is $1 off regular price, $6.99 (about 6 kinds) up to $10.49
Manitoba Hemp Hearts: 56g, $1.99 regular $2.49, shelf cleared, larger bag 227g $5.99 reg $8.49

Ohhh that sounds so good! I might just have to try that too...

After perusing the flyers I think I'm going to have to bow down to Optimum points this week. I was looking at the Hellmans Mayo at Foodland for $4.99, buy 2 get 30 AM. So, $9.98 less the value of the AM's, approximately $3, each jar would cost me $3.49. Then I would have to take into account the cost of gas as its about a 15/20 minute drive. We have to buy Vegan Hellmans because DGS has an egg allergy. I now see that Loblaws has it on for $3.99 and they are two blocks away, save the gas and the time to get to Foodland. They also have a coke offer on again, spend $25 get 8000 points ($8) and the coke is on for $6.35. With the points included that would actually make each case $4.35 and I can't top that deal. I'll buy 4 cases and smile.
Good luck to all who are going for the AM's this week. Hope you all have great success.

My trip to Blue Friday just jumped into the realm of possible because I'm a wimp! I cancelled my trip into Toronto tomorrow morning -- something about leaving the house at 5 am to brave the minus too much temp & wind chill for a 6 minute treatment doesn't excite me!! Because the hubby was going to get up and drive me to the bus to eliminate the 45 minute walk, i should be able to convince him to head to the grocery stores I showed him what i want and he agreed with most of them.

By my calculations we should be spending:

• $16 for 2 boxes of chicken thingees at Foodland for 50 AM
• $10 for 4 boxes of perogies at Sobey's for 50 AM
• $3.50 for strudel at Sobey's for 10 AM if they have a flavour i like
• $14.00 for cheese at Soeby's for 40 AM again depending on cost of the one we like
• $20 on Nutella at Sobey's for 100 AM depending on expiry date

If the products i want are in stock -- $26 for 100 AM
Add the "maybe" products for an extra $37.50 to earn 150 AM

Well, if you'll pardon the Game of Thrones reference... *speaks like a person of Braavos* A man can only hold so many rainchecks...
Just no fights in Aisle 7 okay people?

Whoop! I have a spend threshold offer for PC Optimum, spend $100 get 10,000 points! Plus, I have a whack of good targeted offers (meats are the best for earning). I'll be going getting most of food from their I guess this weekend!

 

[marchingstar]

I think I’ll put together a blue friday trip tomorrow (i’ll make a list after work tonight and see if it’s worth it for me. i’m definitely in the camp of wishing they’d focus on some basics. we use cloth diapers, which means lots of laundry. we go through soooo much laundry soap but it has to be tide, and we much prefer pods. it feels like it’s been forever since they’ve showed up.

i have another question about pc points too—is it typical to get the 20x offer for shoppers weekly? i’ve only been paying attention to the program for a few weeks, but i think this is the 3rd week in a row i’ve gotten the offer as a one-day exclusive.

Yes, sort of. Personal one day offers are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Tuesday offers you need to sign up for their text messages and they are the same for everyone and Thursday is senior's day so they don't usually send offers. There used to be some awesome personal offers, not so much any more, equivalent to 20x (30%) is usually the max and usually you have to spend $50+. This does vary though, sometimes you'll get a 4-day offer Thursday to Sunday (never when there is 20x promo on the weekend), sometimes offers at a higher rate in a category etc. Also, the weekday pattern seems to be that you'll only get one 20x equivalent a week, the other 1 day offers will be less, sometimes you won't get any. For example, this week I do not have a Friday offer, husband has 20x wus $100.

I have my Blue Friday all planned out - lots to buy for me so I will get the spend 100 get 100 as well as my spend 100 get 30 and any of the bonus items I buy. Sobeys is our regular store as it is 5 minutes away and I can walk there if I so desire (not for Blue Friday of course). Now to hope that the items are in stock when I get there. My paper ad doesn't come until after 7 tonight so I was thinking of walking to the store now to get one but I think that it is too cold for that so I will make due with the online version for now.
