Just a few thoughts:

1. Safeway had (and I stress had) a reputation for being over-priced. That is in the past and you'll often find Safeway more than competitive especially when you include the average value of AirMiles offered on heavily discounted manufacturers weekly specials. In fact over the last few weeks it was possible to get more in value in AirMiles than it cost to buy the product.

2. The average value of an AirMiles to the consumer is approximately $0.14. Using an average value helps one determine a comparative value to the same product in other stores. The most popular method of valuing AirMiles I find is to take a product and determine how much it cost to buy an AirMile with it.

This could lead to two products: A costing $0.20 and Airmile and B costing $2.00 an Airmile.

To my mind valuing AMs this way just encourages people to buy as much a product A rather than B. People could end up buying for the sake of getting AirMiles rather than products they use at good prices or can donate to charity cost effectively. But how do you know if A is a good deal.



Note: Safeway is switching to Saturday to Saturday from Sunday to Sunday Pricing. The following prices are only good until Friday 12:00pm:


Feb. 27- March 5:


In the following first number is sale price. Second number is effective value based on $0.14/AM). If there is a multiple offer, ie, B3G15 & B6G45 a third number corresponds to the value of the extra offer.

With effective valuing you can compare the relative prices of a product after accounting for the AirMiles against the same product in another store. For example,

If Coca-Cola is $2.00 with 10 Airmiles it has an effective value of $0.60 [$2 - (10 x $0.14)]. If another store is selling the same product for $1 you know the effect of the AirMiles beats that price.

Let me know if I've missed anything.

Also, if you do use your AMs for flights instead of products in all likelihood you can set the effective prices lower. However, it is always a good thing to cross reference with an Airlines website prices to make sure. Don't forget you pay the taxes extra.

Finally, to all of you who have thanked me for this thread, thank you back as well.

I'll have to check out the Fusion Razors as I have $5 Brandasaver coupons (Or is it $4).

RCSS sells the razor plus 1 extra blade for $6.95 which is a lot less than other places and the also sometimes have an in store $2 coupon making them free.

Have to see how Safeway's offer compares.

Was just in Safeway and saw they had a "Primo" offer good until today.

I don't recall seeing it in last week's flyer but it might have been.

Regardless,

B6G50

Pasta Sauces $2.50/1.33

Better yet,

Whole Grain pastas 375g $1.79/0.62

They came up on the cash register but the 50 didn't show on the slip but it was honoured at customer service.

There's a Primo coupon in the book.. buy 6 get 50 AM.

[operabob]

AH! Wonder if you'd get 100 in combination?

Prolly not... the coupon is prolly the deal that the sign was referring to. They usually advertise those coupon deals around the store.

Ron.

[operabob]

Agreed!

didn't realize until today i wasn't actually a member, turns out i've been lurking this whole time! thanks for posting these deals each week!

pretty good haul today, spent $112 after tax, took home 515 AM's. was surprised to see how quickly all the primo canned tomatoes and most of the better kelloggs jumbo cereals had sold out at my local safeway. Going to try my luck at a different location tomorrow!
