AWESOME!!!!! Love that airmiles cash option!! Too funny though watching the staff trying to figure it out!!!
My freezer is holding many bags of their frozen fruit, DH loves the blueberries best! Way to go!!
Yes. I was holding up the line at 800 AM (only 1 cashier open, Arrgh!). The cashier was getting out her book to read up on how to redeem. The people in the line were pretty good though.Quote:

great job. It seems that is everybodies favorite frozen fruit. I'm still looking for a deal out west here, but hopefully soon.
Maybe Sobeys will be next. The sales seem to circulate in the same chain for a few weeks. Food Basics --- Metro--- Sobeys (?)--- FreshCo (?):shrug:Quote:

So the sale continues for us, when we can find room in the freezer.:smartass:
they are only 4.99 at sdm here in alberta but i wont complain for 3.00 a bag as they sell reg 7-8 so still doing the happy dance at my savings :)
I guess they can be bought with Shoppers Points too, for free frozen fruit.Quote:

Sorry that it's not $2.88 out west. But y'all still have London Drugs and stacking.I am in awe about your stacked deals there.:top:Quote:

I checked in with the managers at two Food Basics locations before I bought 21 bags at one store ( they had just gotten 22 boxes delivered) and about 12 bags at the other location on a different day.
Normal price: $5.99 Sale $2.74 - $2 coupon = $0.74 each (no tax)
My upright freezer is bulging!!!!!
I saved back a few coupons for future sales.

Wow, you did way better than me.Quote:

I find that's the hardest to get.

To be honest, other than getting an assortment of flavours- I was fairly non-descriminate in what I took from each store.
It was about 5 flavours from each.
I was just so grateful to get them that I was not fussy about which ones.
To add to the story:
I am disabled and ride an adaptive trike.
All of those frozen fruits had to get about 7-8km home in 22-25C heat on a bike!!
The short version would be to say that I used several medium freezer packs, cooler bags, packed those frozen fruit tight to each other ( mass cooling) and rode home fast and direct.
Upon arrival at home, they seemed as frozen as from the store freezer !
Oh No!Quote:

I haven't seen many varieties at my Freshco, so I was just curious.
Wow, you go the extra mile -- and on a bike too. WTG!:top:
At the time of those sales, both Food Basics had about 10- 11 varieties of frozen fruit.Quote:

Plus; I freeze my own fruit on sale, so I have lots of plain frozen fruits ( ie strawberries, blueberries, grapes, etc)
As bad as it was for energy-efficiency.....
.....on a hot day (30C), standing in front of an upright freezer pawing through frozen fruit is a minute of pure bliss!!!
I have been car-free for just under 15 years.
