Safeway's Sweet AirMiles Deals

[VEGAS PILGRIM]

[QUOTE=Donna456;5488203]

Just saw this posted on Twitter from 680 News:

"Sobeys division will acquire substantially all of the assets of Canada Safeway Ltd. for $5.8 billion."

I wonder how this will affect Airmiles...

They do run AM's in the East, evidently

If they don't, I'm done as a gold AM holder--almost all the AM's were from Safeway--ah well, we shall see.

Sobeys aren't near as generous as Safeway with Air Miles promotions.

I was just in NL where Sobeys does airmiles but severely limited offers. :-( I was shocked at how small the offers were BUT you could redeem your airmiles cash there....

A visual example of the airmile offerings at Sobeys in Newfoundland. Look at the 2 McCain offers.

It looks like the airmiles offers at Atlantic Sobeys is similar to Metro in Ontario. When I was there last summer it was buy 2 deli salads and get 2 airmiles. Safeway has definitely been generous in the airmiles department.

Well, the airmiles ride is finally over. Sobey's was terrible when the took over Thrifty Foods and I expect they will be the same with Safeway. I can honestly say that if Sobey's changes the airmiles at all, I will be done shopping at safeway (overpriced anyways). I will also be cancelling my american express card and abandoning the airmiles collecting altogether

so ummm i guess i found the "we are crappin our pants section" I may end up switching my prescriptions to Shoppers. if they mess with AM's

Omg I can't believe this..... Soeby's of all companies??? Just when I thought today could not get any worse . I did get 285 airmiles on $100 today I guess Airmiles will die too.. no more safeway e-auctions. no more good meat and produce
Worst of all no more Bob

ROTFLMAO!

Nah, yah can't get rid of me. Just like a bad taste. (At least not until we get 1,000,000 hits which should be in about 1.5 years at this rate! )

Actually, I don't notice any changes at Thrifty's so far since they took over. No sense panicking until we see the whites of their eggs.

One thing Buffy's worried about is the substitution of their "Compliments" house brand. Buffy says they're crap!

Sobey's buying out safeway.
Just talked with a few long time safeway cashiers today on my shop. They told me the air miles will not change. I am hoping for the best. Love my local Safeway. It is always clean and friendly.
I just wish they carried whole grain as that's my preferred one? Above poster commented. Ours just got the whole grain pasta in this week. Maybe yours will soon too.
My Safeway just got the Lysol foam pumps in stock. They are on sale this week. plus there is a $1 off coupon out.

[cheekysaver]

I am not sure why I was panicking there.... reality has sunk in and new stores = price wars and us cleaning up and paying with coupons... this could be seriously fantastic for us!

OMGosh i am even getting excited about the pending..... ok i am gonna say the C word here so don't panic)

Clearance sales!!!
