Airmiles Armchair Chatter

DUH! Of course I've seen this, I live within a scary 5 minute drive from the new store
They've been closed since early October and it's been such a long wait to get back inside, CAN'T WAIT!!

Donald my hero
So are you out shopping today at the Grand Opening of your new Len's Mill store?
Should we go looking for you as you get lost in the store?
Oh darn I just read the whole email and it doesn't open until tomorrow. Well happy shopping and report back.

It's a good thing it's not until tomorrow because I've spent the day recovering from the old camera up the butt! My head tried to tell the rest of my body that science is awesome and how wonderfully lucky we are to have such amazing diagnostic tools but my gut and butt were screaming YOU SIT ON A PORCELAIN THRONE OF LIES

I plan on going tomorrow for sure, can't wait to get inside and see what they've done to the place. I bought a bunch of fabric thru Etsy during the Mix and Match promo to make some bibs for the new grandbaby and I'll need something to use for backing.
The new TV stand/ sewing stash cabinet arrived yesterday and the miles dumped into my account, including the first bonus of 100. My first transaction thru Dell for the chromecast with Google TV hasn't posted so I'll need to chase those down plus the final however many I should get.

Sent my husband out for the strategic deployment of a Sobeys strategy this morning.

1. Did gift card purchases for two accounts.
2. DH's account had "buy anything get 50 AMs" and "spend $200 get 100" so got those done.
3. Bought 50 boxes of granola bars to do the Blue Bonus five times.

Total AMs:
- 1,665

Other win:
- Used Amex Cobalt credit card to pay for gift cards and got 7,000 points, which translates to 7,000 Aeroplan points (almost enough for one segment) or 8,200 Marriot Bonvoy points

Sobeys is far away from us. Our plan is to mainly use the Sobeys gift cards at Freshco and use price-matching. We are also close to IGA so will go there when it makes sense. I'm also thinking about converting some of the Sobeys cards into third-party ones like Shell.

Maybe I will have to hit up my local Food Basics tomorrow before I go to Sobeys for the gift card deal as well as my spend anything get 50 airmiles deal.

The accelerator has something to do with the BMO M/C. I don't remember the specifics but I've had it show up a few times in my account. Nothing near what cari12 got though.

Anyone else not get any new coupons in My Sobeys this week?

That happened to me for 3 weeks straight. Then I got some this week.

 

[TammyLynn33]

I got my shell offer and it’s 100 airmiles for 4 fill ups now didn’t it used to be 3?? Just finished kiddos labs in Brampton so 4 maybe difficult to do now

Definitely 3....I did my third March fillup yesterday afternoon.

 

[Donald - my hero]

my shell is 3 but I'm not going to be doing it anymore, I'll be lucky to get 2. Had a call from the hospital in Brampton and both techs have quit meaning the clinic is closed and I'm without treatments again.

that also means I won't be making any sobeys shopping either

 

[bababear_50]

So sorry this happened Jacqueline.

Budget review
since we are bulk buying products we regularly use when they go on sale I am going to skip the Sobeys Gift Card deal this time around.
I like the feature that Reebee has where you can just plug in what you are looking for and it lists all the stores and prices.
My search for butter:
https://www.reebee.com/flyers?categoryID=2&q=butter&selectorHref=/flyers

I am lucky though because I have a great variety of grocery stores close by.

Shell and I are parting ways for awhile ,,I am doing better at Esso right now.
I should mention it has a Tim Hortons Drive thru attached.

Mine is for 75 AM's with 2, 30 Lt fill ups. 25 with the first one and the other 50 with the second. I can do the first one for sure, not positive about a second. We don't go very far anymore.

Mine is 100 with 4 30L fill ups and 50 with 3. I sputtered my way to the gas station after work today hoping an offer would appear and it did on route lol

 

[juniorbugman]

I got the same Shell offer I have gotten the last few months - fill up with 30lt twice get 50 miles and after the third fill up get another 50 for a total of 100 miles. My sister's is fill up 3 times with 30ltrs get 50 miles and the 4th fill up gets another 50 miles. I will do my card first and then we work on my sisters card. The saving 3cents a litre with a CAA helps but now I have a 10cent off per litre at Petro Canada so decisions decisions.

 

[AngelDisney]

I have been having this offer from Shell for months.
