If you mean me.

I bought....
4 pizzas @2.99 each...75 miles
8 Marketplace meals(using coupons) @1.99 each...150 miles
2 bags of milk @4.99 each...30 miles
1 easy meal @6.00...15 miles
a few fruits/veg...to get up to the loaded offer threshold
Loaded offer...spend $55 earn 20 miles
3 miles for my total purchase...should have been 2 but I got 3

Can I ask where you got the coupons from?

Those Marketplace meals are free with that redemtion, Too bad you did not have unlimited coupons for it. Nice score.
The extra 1am is probably the combined total for the week added another $20 for 1am. It is not just for the one visit, but for the week

Can I ask where you got the coupons from?

From a tear pad months ago. I take coupons for anything that I might buy and if the expiry is a long way off I take a lot of them.

@mort1331 I actually have 6 more. The decision now is if I will drive to Brampton to get a GC from Foodland before going back to Sobeys.

Snagged the tickets for Halifax. Can only get 1 per account = 2 tickets. Sent my neices last year when we could get 2 each = 4 tickets. So this year they will have to fight over who goes.

Hi Hon
I sent you a PM

Question for those of you who live out east, or have lived or have visited... what is the weather HONESTLY like at the end of December? Hubby's favourite movie of all-time is It's a Wonderful Life. We have more than enough miles to fly, stay and have a decent time but he really really REALLY doesn't like winter!

He loves Pluto!
ME? Favourite time of year!

Halifax tickets are still up this am - I can grab a set too if someone wants.

So does anyone know which grocery stores take American Express? I think it would take me 5 years to use an $150 GC from Foodland so I'm looking to spend my $100 else where. Just not sure where.

ETA- Did I read that FreshCo takes foodland GC's and that they price match....or was I having one of my hopeful dreams at the time. Lol.

Well, I don't know now. I'm sure I read here that FreshCo takes the Foodland GC's but I'm looking at one I purchased and it says "valid at participating Sobeys stores throughout Canada, participating Price Chopper stores in Ontario and Manitoba, participating Foodland stores in Ontario, and participating IGA stores in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and those affiliated with Sobeys Capital Incorporated in British Columbia."

I'd rather go to FreshCo than Price Chopper! It's so close to me, where as the other 3 are a drive...

Variable. Could be raining, could be snowing. Or freezing rain. Or all three.

Of course, it could also be sunny. It won't be warm, but it won't necessarily be bitterly cold either. The wind can be cold though, especially near the coast.

I'd think of it this way: for the purposes of a short visit, it's no worse than anywhere else in Canada. Not a beach vacation, to be sure, but nothing that any Canadian wouldn't be well accustomed with.

Living there is a different matter. I'd take an Ottawa winter over a Maritime winter hands down. It's colder in Ottawa, but we don't get the melt cycles they get in the east. NS gets way more snow than we do, but we usually have more snow on the ground, because once we get it, it generally stays. Snow in NS is often followed by rain, sometimes even as part of the same storm, so it ends up being a big slushy mess. As a skiier, it used to drive me nuts. We'd get a big dump of snow midweek, but by the weekend it would have rained and the conditions would be wrecked.

So we can only use one per 4 boxes in one transaction to get the airmiles, right?

I got the buy 3 get 1 free coupon. I bought 4 and got the price of 1 deducted and still got 75 AM. I was worried and bought 5 at my first attempt. I bought 9 in total.

I bought 3 $150 Foodland gift cards. Made two transactions at Sobeys with $50 LCBO each. Then bought $125 wine at LCBO. So far only one Sobeys doesn't allow me to use Foodland giftcard to buy other giftcards. I usually pick a young inexperienced looking cashier.

Grocery stores that take AMEX:
Metro, Sobeys, Longos, Foodland,Save-On-Foods, Pricesmart Foods, Urban Fare, Marketplace IGA (BC only).

You don't need to buy groceries with your AMEX BTW, the only reason most of us are jumping at the Giftcard is the 150 bonus miles we'll get as well as the 400 for the Soar into More promo. You can buy anything those stores sell and it will show as being purchased at the store. It also doesn't need to be in one sale, it is cumulative for the entire month.

You can use the gift card from Foodland at FreshCo & Regarding price-matching at FreshCo.. from their website:
Our guarantee that we’re cheaper means that if a major supermarket competitor within your local store’s geographic trade area offers a lower price on any item that we carry in our store, simply show us their price in their flyer/ad (current) or on their receipt (within 7 days of purchase) and we will sell you that item for 1¢ less. Applies to identical items (same brand, item type (in the case of produce, meat and bakery), size and attributes) or comparable items in the case of private label. Does not apply to prescriptions or gift cards. Excludes ‘spend x get x’; clearance sales, and ‘free’ promotions and discounts obtained through loyalty or other preferred customer programs. Does not apply to competition misprints or withdrawn or corrected advertisements. We reserve the right to verify competitor prices and to limit quantities to 2 identical products/flavours. “Our major supermarket competitors”, “geographic trade areas” and “comparable items” are determined solely by us and are based on a number of factors that can change from time to time. We reserve the right to make changes to this program without prior notice.

What foodland location were you able to purchase 3 gift cards and did your air miles show on the receipt?

 

[osully]

Just under 200 AM today for $62 spend at Sobeys. Yay! They had plenty of pizzas and frozen entrees - I was worried those would be all gone! Got the milk deal too, and a few MyOffers. My targeted spend was $100 for this week and we just did not need that much stuff after 3 weeks of spending $100 at Sobeys / stocking up!

 

[Days In the Sun]

Anyone buy gift cards at Foodland today? Just wondering if the miles are posting now if you buy more than one.
