I managed to get the Oakley Sunglasses and backpack,$100 Safeway Gift Card,Oakley Sunglasses & Watch - Men's and the Ladies and the Pots and Pans. All of these wins were from the Group Auction.
Auctions always seem to offer opportunities to get a great deal, or to overpay for items if you're not careful. This year's e-Auction was no exception:
People overpaid for the Tassimo T20 coffee maker more than any other product, on average 255% of retail value (ie; they paid more than two and half times in airmiles what they could have paid using cash in the store)
The Tassimo T20 was also the single largest % overpaid item, at 451% (four and a half times what they could have paid using cash)
Closely following the Tassimo in terms of crazy-inducing, the GreenPan cookware set, Nostalgia popcorn maker, and the Apple iPad Mini all had people paying way more than the product is worth
The largest overpaid item in terms of dollar cost was the Apple MacBook Pro at $933 over retail value
There were still some great deals had, especially if you had enough airmiles to purchase the trips or other big ticket items like hottubs or bigscreen TVs, where people sometimes paid only 25-50c on the dollar (as much as 83% off retail in one case)
Some lower-ticket items like snowboards and rollerblades also were snapped up at good prices
The Group Buys were almost all excellent deals again this year, and almost all sold out very quickly
Congrats to everyone who got a good deal on something they wanted/needed, hope everyone had fun, and thanks to Safeway for putting on an excellent show! Hope to see you next year!

I haven't had airmiles added since April 1st. I should have some coming, but have slowed down my shops @ safeway because of the poor airmiles offers and higher prices.
I also haven't had any Airmiles posted for a while but I am pretty sure I am owed some... will have to do a reconciliation with my receipts
Probably due to the takeover by Sobey's.

Trust Cheeks and myself the Ninja is worth the extra cost. I went through about 4 blenders making smoothies because the blades wear out and it takes forever to crush the ice.Quote:
