I have never used Instacart

The unlink feature is not available to collectors with a BMO AIR MILES credit card that was automatically linked to their AIR MILES collector number by BMO’s auto-link feature

My one son says there is a *massive* up charge to this service?

I finally found a store that has the 200 pills Tic Tacs,,,and watch them not be on the list tomorrow.
They are a tad expensive at $5.69 ,,, hopefully something better shows up.

You can get an avocado for 97 cents at Walmart

Astro yogurt is $2.69 at FreshCo, Cantaloupes are usually not too expensive, Frozen pizza always handy or $5 on cola? Tortilla wraps or hot dogs? Salsa?

I plan on doing my grocery shop tomorrow, I usually do it today. I will pick up different items at different stores and submit one receipt on each account I look after. I was planning on stopping doing any collecting on my son's card but this offer popped up and it's too good to pass up. With what he has in his cash account plus this bonus it will be any easy $10 to put to use somewhere.

the receipt offers already updated, some are good thru June 5th and others go until the 12th.
Salsa is on at Metro and it's hubby's preferred type! Get 9 miles for that

Then pick 2 of these tortilla chips to go with it and you'll get another 15 from the flyer and 16 from the receipt offers (8/ bag)

Total spend will be just under $11 and you'll earn
75 bonus + 9 for salsa + 31 for the chips for a total earn of 115 miles in other words FREE FRIDAY NIGHT SNAAACKS!

This Flash Offer *Receipt Scan*

Thanks for this! I would have missed it.

So I have a lot of foot issues and wear Hokas, they are a complete game changer! But, each style has different features. They need to be “fitted” to your needs in order to work. If you go to somewhere like the Running Room and get a free consultation, they will ask about your feet, what you use them for, watch your gait, etc. then recommend which ones will work best for you.

That's really good to know. We have two Running Rooms nearby. I really want to have some new shoes in the rotation before Monday. Yesterday I was back in my old shoes and also had the ripping pain in my foot. Only thing was, it happened multiple times. It did stop after I went home and got off my feet for a while. Today I'm only working 3 hours then I'm off to some appointments including acupuncture.

Yesterday I got thinking that maybe I need to have my assistant in an extra day per week. I really hate paying someone to do work I'm capable of doing....right now seems like I'm not capable

It's rough when we realize and accept our physical limitations as we age. Too much abuse of body parts in our youth.

My Airmiles receipt didn't go through,,, I summitted an inquiry though.
Hope others have better luck.

Edited to add:
Son just did his and the Airmiles posted ,,,why does Airmiles Receipts not like me? LOL

I know lots of people take shoe and other footwear recommendations from people they know - but I honestly think most people with pain/issues should be taking suggestions from some kind of professional (but no judgement!)

I always ask my physiotherapist what my next shoe purchase should be. Even if it's a walking everyday work sneaker - look, I KNOW it's unprofessional, but I'm not wearing anything other than sneakers!
I ask her opinion on whether to use my walking or running sneakers for our trips to Disney - she makes recommendations depending on how active I've been in each pair of shoes before each trip etc.

And (I'M NOT giving medical advice!) she has indicated to me that the only way to compleley fix plantar fasciitis (at least in my case) is to have shockwave treatment regularly and stay off your feet as much as possible until healed. Other things will just reduce pain, but not help it actually heal/stop. So, since my job (and love of Disney parks) mean I'm on my feet a lot, I just use shockwave treatments to keep the pain at a manageable level.

Again, not giving medical advice, I just prefer to ask someone who is familiar with my problem to help me find the best shoe.

(Although I may ask her about some of these specific suggestions from the board!)

My son would agree with you 100%,, he has had the shockwave therapy and has found it helped 100%.
He regularly buys new footwear per the therapists suggestions.
Thanks for sharing

For those who fly Porter, Costco.ca has an online deal right now. Not sure if it is available instore but it could be.

 

[Donald - my hero]

fully agree with getting the medical support! As I mentioned in my post the shoes I bought , the new balance fresh foam, were fitted at the foot clinic by a podiatrist, and the recommendation was to NEVER go barefoot again (sorry but those middle of the night pee breaks I do go on my tippy toes) keep my feet elevated whenever possible and if they start to hurt at any point STOP WALKING! I don't have the plantar whatever thing but it still comes down to get professional help from someone, go for physio if suggested and don't try to walk thru foot pain. Hubby did that and he'll never be able to go for longer than a total of 40 minutes per day

 

[ottawamom]

Purchased 3 different items at 3 different stores on 3 different accounts. One worked. I knew the other two would need an inquiry as the yogurt didn't say "Astro" and the hotdogs only said "BB glu free turkey". The powers that be will have a look and award the AM.

The powers that be will have a look and award the AM.

That would be the Air Miles Mafia! lol

 

[kuhltiffany]

I had never even heard of Hoka’s until my physiotherapist recommended them. Now I get lots of comments about them when I work with the younger crowd

I’m the same @Donald - my hero, no bare feet for me anymore either. (Bilateral Achilles Tendonosis, bursitis and bone spurs for me). Too many years of chasing after kids at work!

 

[ElCray]

Did a bit of the receipts today. My first purchase were the Old El Paso tortillas at Metro for $2.44 apiece, and the receipt didn't work at all. My second receipt from Freshco only worked for one of the products I bought (the 4 ketchups I bought for $4.94, price matched from Walmart), and missed the 4 Astro yogurts for $2.69 each.

Submitted missing miles reports. Total haul should be 246 AMs. I may go back for more packs of tortillas because they're a great price, they freeze well, and we'll eat them.
