actually that is pretty darn good for sobey's

[Patty Smyth]

That's great, I'm guessing Sobeys would be a lot like IGA prices here since they are owned by them. There are great deals to be had everywhere you just have to be an SCer to find them sometimes.

Good shopping! Just so you know with the points, though - the longer you let them accumulate, the more they are worth comparably... they are sneaky that way.

Yup, Patty, our Sobey's used to be Garden Market IGA, then before that, 'plain' IGA.

WTG!

New to Sobeys points - do they award points on a BEFORE coupon basis?

I assume you had other items that helped you reach $60, because I think your list of items is only ~$40.
