Safeway's Sweet AirMiles Deals

[ado121]

Note: Besides the B2G$3 coupons on Old Spice products in the Brandsaver newspaper insert there is also a B2G$4 & B3G$7 good on the Olay Body Wash & Secret deodorant. Use those on the Secret and all you'll pay is the tax. FREE AIRMILES!!!

Luckily I have 6 booklets meaning 300 Free AMs!

just read your post. im confused on how many old spice/olay/secret i have to buy to get the 300 airmiles. sounds right up my alley! can you tell me please?

[operabob]

I have 6 B2G$4 & 6 B3G$7coupons

So 12 (6 x B2) + 18 (6 x B3) = 30 items

The deodorant is $2 each and the coupons totally cover the cost except for the tax.

It's B6G60AMs so if I buy 30 (at no cost except for the taxes thanks to the coupons) it's 5 x 60AMs = 300 Free.

PS: You might get taxes paid too with the B3G$7 coupons if you buy as part of a larger purchase and hand the coupons in at the end. Some cashiers will credit you the whole $7 instead of the $6 three actually cost. Each cashier is different though.

Hi Operabob,
Which deodorant is $2? Is it on the flyer? Because I only see Secret deodorant 2 for $6 dollars on my flyer.
Thank you

Ameba,

Good catch!

Drats, I miss read. You're right, it's 2 for $6.

Glad you're all keeping an eye on me.

i spent 1 hour yesterday trying all different combinations of coupons to items to get what you got...and came up with

18 deodorants for $54 minus 6 of those $7 off couons for a total of $12 for 180 airmiles. toss in some chicken wings at 2 for 100 airmiles (not sure on cost....but i love them anyways!) that would get us to over $60 for sure and 5 times the airmiles base.

thats a heck of alot of deod's my husband pointed out to me....

at least i'll be smelling good as i collect my airmiles!

I was just going to buy it and throw it in the food bank for the AMs.

Still 30 is $90 (pre tax) - [(6 x $4) + (6 x $7)] = $90 - 66 = $24

The 300 AMs = approx. $42 so still ahead especially if I donate to charity for a tax receipt.

[hollyhill]

How much are the chicken wings??

[bryceton]

atleast one hot airmiles deal this week without even needing to use coupons

apart of Mix and match..
Buy 5 earn 20 or Buy 6 earn 40

Suave hair care (444ml) $.99

So even if you did a hbc giftcard at 400 points = $50 value...
thats mean you could buy.. 60 suave hair care products and effectively only cost you $10 + tax..

Also one question. Apart of that same groupd is vesiline. I have a FPC for it. would it count as one of the products bought if i used a fpc?

[operabob]

Thanks Bry,

Travelling so I'll have the analysis up this evening as the flyer hadn't arrived before I left..

[operabob]

My wife forgot to get the community paper and they were all gone by the time I got.

I should have a source a bit later so hopefully early tomorrow morning at the latest.

The Suave looks like a good food banker.

I'll likely donate some and use the AMs for restaurant gift cards and write off the meals against business.

Royale Event B4G100:

Facial Tissue/Ultra Towels 6.99/3.59

im curious about your comment about a tax receipt. can i get a tax receipt from the food bank when i donate? i never knew this.

thanks bob for all your hard work on the airmiles thing. i love this posting. and look forward to it ever week. because of you...my family of 6 goes to wdw for christmas this year!

addie,

Every food bank has it's own policy so you have to contact them individually.

I donate to the "Mustard Seed" food bank in Victoria.

I have to give them the items (food, toiletries, etc.) + the store receipt. They then give me a written tax receipt and about 4 weeks later I get a printed receipt in the mail as well.

I believe the SPCA and some animal shelters do the same but always talk to the office first.
