5 Full offers on the Quaker would be 5 X $54 = $270 (I could knock $15 with Entertainment coupons)
If you donated it all to a food bank in exchange for a tax receipt you'd get up to 26% back from the Feds and about half again provincially so let's say 40% = $108.
So not counting taxes a round trip Vancouver to Toronto in off season would cost you $270 - $108 = $162.
