Well bad news for those wanting yesterday's Group Buy, it looks like it wont go through, it needs 162 more buys, in 47 Minutes.
I debated the buy today.. but decided to go for it. I can get close to 800 AM on a good $100 shop @ Safeway (especially with something like the soap or vitamins). :)

I thought about buying today's but my wife says we have all that stuff already. I'm sure they'll do the $100 card again so I'll bide my time.
If you use 1 coupon on the Nivea you'd get 2 for $4.07 + 50AMs which is still a profit situation.
I might have buyer's remorse on this one.. lol. Something will come up and I'll be 800AM short! :)

Today's group buy sold out:bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling:I wish I had gotten up earlier this morning.
I just wanted to let you know that I love this thread. This is usually the 1st thread I look for, I've learned so much about airmiles here. Thanks so much!
Okay, I have myself totally confused! I went to Safeway and purchased 20 pkg of Nivea Soap (had only 2x$2.00 off coupons but hey, better than none, right?) Anyway, the total with tax is $56.70. I ended up with 502 points (plus another 5 later on cause I used my Amex card). Here's where I get a little confused. If each airmile is worth 11 cents then the total amount of airmiles just received is worth $55.22. Then didn't I just pay $56.70 for $55.22??? That makes no sense to me!! I know someone (aka operabob) will set me straight! Thanks.
Kelsie,
Look at it this way:
You paid the equivalent of $56.70 -$55.22 = $1.48 for 20 packages of soap or $0.725/package.
Why?
Because you can use the $55.22 Air Miles value to reduce your costs elsewhere by, for example, getting Shell Gas coupons worth $55.22 from AirMiles.com, So,
You paid for the soap (at a great price BTW) and get free gas.
In fact you did a little better than that. The actual averageexchange for all but 2 GCs at AirMiles is $0.1143 (we just round down to $0.11). So your 502 AMs has a real cash value of $57.38 at AirMiles.ca. You made a profit of $0.68.
You were paid to shop.
Hope this helps.
Gotcha! SWEET! Thank you
how much are the quaker bars right now?
I saw them at the front of the store, I'm pretty sure they were buy 4 for $10.
dimi,
The few extra at by pharmacy have now been placed on the shelf with all the other soaps.
I had to still my beating heart and skip the soap. I am totally stocked up on Dove which cost me zip at LD... I really tried hard to justify more soap but couldn't LOL.
Oh well. I did stock up on pickles (I had great coupons) Yogurt, cheese (had coupons for thos too) and cream and some other needed things Hummus etc.. and got 275 points! So pretty happy about that. But so far I have avoided the auction site like the plague. LOL. I am scared I will be tempted.....
Paid $102.78 (phew to close for comfort...) and used $$23 in coupons!
Speaking of coupons. The summer is usually slim pickings. September it starts to pick up again.
thanks bob

6 boxes of those stuffed chicken breasts for 60 am
10 boxes of cereal for 100 am
10 bags of frozen fries for 100 am
10 boxes of frozen pizzas for 100 am

Thanks OB, I went to Tillicum and Foul Bay tonight, neither had stock, I didnt have much hope for Shelbourne, I got a raincheck though, so just as good, and good suggestion using it on customer appreciation, for the 10%!
good airmile deals at Safeway
does anyone know what the group buy for tomorrow is? :)
P.1 is updated.
If you like Michelina's they are $1.75 each but $0.65 after AirMiles as part of a B10G100 offer.
Kellogg's Jumbos are good too especially if you have coupons as part of a B5G100 @ 5/2.80.
I also like the Extreme Special on Bounty Paper Towels B2G50 6.99/4.24.
Good Luck Everyone.
I guess Newf hasn't ferreted out tomorrow's group buy offer yet.
Never got a chance to 'hunt' down today's group buy.. sorry! It will be a surprise for all of us in 11 min. :)
Ron.
Ready to pounce!
So exciting! haha
For Saturday.
We often vacation with friends who have the Barbeque. He barbeques with this on balconies if we're in hotels. It's a pretty good little unit.
$100 to the Running Room for 600 AM, not bad at all if you are in the market for new shoes!
I am going to pass on this one, although it looks like it's going fast, if you are interested get on it!
