My wife is going to "So You Think You Can Dance" when it's in Seattle in a couple of weeks.

We live in a condo but I was thinking I might suprise her with a small upright freezer when she gets back. I know she wants one. She's not the type to eat Michelina's though.

Next week's flyer (Aug 31 to Sept. 6) is in our Community paper today.

I can't match the prices until Sunday but it again includes an extra flyer "Summer Bonus". This flyer appeared last week as well and many name brand items were on sale with bonus AirMiles.

I'm mentioning it now as one of the specials this coming week is Gift Cards:

Buy $50 Get 10 AMs

Buy $100 Get 30 AMs

You'll recall that 2 weeks ago the email.direct had the following much better offer:

Buy $50 Get 25 AMs

Buy $100 Get 60 AMs

Once again Safeway failed to fix my e-mail problem over this so Beav and Osker if you can link this up again for me it will be greatly appreciated.

Note: This Tuesday is 10% off Customer Appreciation day (min. purchase $35). Gift cards are not eligible.

Thanks to Shopaholic Beaver for getting me this:

Potential goodie if you have the Muscular Dystrophy Book.

There's a buy 2 get 30 AMs on the Signature Pizza while the email.direct has a buy 2 Get 50 AMs.

Awhile back they had a similar thing on batteries and I got both bonuses so it should work again.

Usually when it's Buy 2 on these pizzas they're $9.99 so assuming it's the same and 10% off today then $9 each or $$18 total and you'd pick up 80 AirMiles approx. = $11.20 in AMs.

September 7 - 13

Some good deals this week.

Check out the email.direct here:

http://www.safeway.ca/emaildirect/of...ct_37_2008.pdf

The bacon is marked down from $5.19 to $4.59 so buying 2 is $9.18 but use the coupon and you'll get $7 worth of AMs so effectively:

$1.09 each

Zellers has the Tostidos on at $3.19 each. Safeway is 2 for $6 and you pick up 25 AMs = $3.50 so effectively:

$1.25 each

The chicken is on as a special with 2 sides and 4 buns for $10.99. I assume you can use the coupon and get 25 AMs worth $3.50

Several of the P&G Brandsaver coupons can be used this week:

Ivory and Zest are BoGO (10 bars) and get 20 AMs worth $2.80.

The Ivory I looked at was $3.99 so that's a heck of a deal if you use 2two $0.75 coupons from the Brandsaver.

Dawn dish detergent is $2.49 B3G15 or B6G40. There are Brandasaver coupons making this one a good deal too. Also, look for the 30% more bottles.

Lots more. I'll try and keep people updated as I come across them. Safeway was only just repricing for this week as I was there.

OB,

Thanks for this! This is my go to link for my Safeway deals!

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but I found a way to effectively triple my airmiles every time I go to Safeway. I take my grocery money that is budgeted for that trip, transfer it to my BMO airmiles mastercard. I go to the store and purchase a Safeway gift card with my mastercard and get the airmiles for the gc purchase from Safeway as well as from Mastercard. Then I do my shopping and pay using the gc and collect airmiles again. Works like a charm. I've watched my airmiles add up using that trick! For every $100 I spend at Safeway I've been getting a base airmiles of 15 miles using this method istead of the usual 5. It takes very little time and works like a charm!

[seapotato]

thanks

[lolli]

How many airmiles per $ spent do you get with the BMO airmiles mastercard?

[seapotato]

thanks

[scrapinitblue]

It depends on which one you have. I have the silver card and I get 1 for every $20. Bronze is 1/$40. Gold, 1/$15. Bronze is free, no annual fee, silver fee is I think $35, and gold is like $70 I think. You can find out more at there website.

[operabob]

I use an American Express Blue (free) card at Safeway: 1 AM per $20

The AMEX paid card is 1/$15

One of these days I'll work out how many dollars per year you have to spend to make it worthwile paying for a card.

http://www.safeway.ca/emaildirect/of...ct_38_2008.pdf

By next Wednesday just change to 38 to 39 in the URL and refresh and you'll get the following week's early.

I'll probably get the Dad's cookies but nothing else.

Thanks for the tip. Your the best OB!
