Airmiles Armchair Chatter

OK you Foodland posting people, with slim pickings everywhere else this week I'm now going to drive to Foodland (25 min away) and get the chips and ice cream deal (it is the long weekend afterall). Foodland wasn't ever in my realm of possibilities before your postings. I was quite happy with my Sobey's, Rexall, Metro trips.

Anyone know what the price range is on the chips and ice cream. They didn't post that in the flyer. If the prices aren't good it could be a deal breaker for me.

I'll try to pop in today to price check for you.

I just popped in and price-checked. I'll be shopping later. The ice cream/drumsticks etc are 4.99. Smartpop and chips run from 3.49 to 4.69 (I might be off by .10 or so). Everything is REALLY well marked. I was impressed.

Thanks

Did you happen to notice the price of the pop? The chips are a decent enough price and we're having a party in a week, so I'll pick some up.

no foodland even close to us. Enjoy all who can.

The pop was 3.99. Not great, but I've paid worse. I got 4 and got hte miles, plus the chips. 171 total. Not too bad. Foodland is actually my local grocery store, only 10 minutes away as opposed to 30 minutes or more for everything else.

Question about airmiles offers and Rexall.
I read on here the other day about doing a small shop on the weekend to get a 50 am wus $30 coupon to use during the week and tried it yesterday (Friday) unsuccessfully. Cashier said she hasn't seen that coupon in a year and a half. My coupon is $5 wus $25 for Monday to Thursday. Is anyone still getting this airmiles coupon?

Thank you.

 

[ottawamom]

That's odd. It might be a store by store thing. I got one just last Friday and used it this past week. If there's another store on your daily travels try it and see if it's any different.

Thank you Ottawamom. I'll try another store, I have another one that is out of my way but has a better selection (bigger store, more groceries), for airmiles I'm willing to test it out.

Just got back from Rexall. I picked up a loaf of bread and sure enough the coupon was at the bottom of the receipt. Did they swipe your AM card when you did checkout? I spoke with the girl behind the counter and she assured me the coupon (spend $30 get 50AM) is a corporate wide thing.

I got drumstick flavours I've never seen before. Peanut Butter drumsticks and chocolate fudge brownie drumsticks (yum)

Question, have you had your AMEX loaded the bonus points yet. Wondering how long it takes, still waiting on mine. Thanks

I just checked my air miles account and the 2000 points have been posted. American Express looks to post quite quickly like Sobeys and Lawtons Drugs.

Unfortunately, I'm sure it was scanned, I see my airmiles number on the receipt. I tried again tonight at a second location, GTA-Greater Toronto Area in Mississauga, in case that made a difference (I live west of Toronto, outside GTA). No such luck, I checked other customer's receipts before I checked out and could see they had the same spend $25 get $5 off coupon that I already had. I have one other store that I will try next weekend, I used to get the spend $30 get 50am there last summer. It's a fairly new store.

Hard to complain though, spend $40 tonight, used $8 in coupons and $5 survey coupon, so paid $27 plus tax and received 40 airmiles. I may shop during the week depending what airmile promo coupon they email.

Thank you for your help Ottawamom, much appreciated!

Woohoo, congrats! I have enough to buy one of my 5-day passes, but I think I'm going to wait until I have enough for two. Not going until Jan 2018, so don't want to jump the gun.

Question - do you think there will be a price increase in between now and then and in turn, do you think the number of AM needed for passes will increase too?

100% they will both go up. No telling when. If its WDW tickets get them when you have earned enough, they dont expire. Just dont lose them, lol. They jumped in AM costs twice last year.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

Yikes! ok, good to know!

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

I just purchased my first of three 5-day passes on AM! Woohoo! I'm committed to the trip now
