Do not freeze activia. Thaws into a gritty tasteless mess. My mom used to freeze astro original when I was a kid and it turned out fine but there's a lot more fat in it

Now a question if I may. My yogurt FPCs are expiring September 15th, I have two. I also have a tub in the fridge. As the only person who eats yogurt in the house this is way too much for me. Obviously you can freeze it but I'm curious about thawing and what happens afterwards.

Good idea. Where's the jet dry coupon from?

Thought I might buy Finish Dishwasher detergent and Quantum jet dry. Use my $2 (dishwasher) and $1 (jet-dry) coupons and use the MIR to get back the cost of the Jet-dry.

I wish...maybe I will try a different shoppers. The managers in Brampton aren't so willing to deviate from their policy. I don't understand since they get their money back and then with my points I am returning to the store to purchase more items, and rarely do I ever spend just my points, I always go over.

Not all of them are so nice! But to me its called something along the lines of "customer service". I do believe they are supposed to make us customers happy aren't they?

Thanks for the ideas on the yogurt guys! I often buy whatever is on sale yogurt wise and most often it is Source or Astro for $1 a tub. Won't spend more then that so no worries on the Activia. Anyone have any experience with Danone Creamy?

I guess I could always freeze one tub, then thaw it and see to test for the others. If it turns out gross then I guess I only wasted one FPC

Its not SDM policy, its the actual law. The CRA states very clearly that FPC's should have no tax, if a company is found to be charging tax on an FPC that would be fraudulent. Not that I think the CRA would ever investigate into such issues, but its really a government law, not just store policy you're fighting there. We shouldn't get the points because we are not buying the product IMO, the manufacturer is supplying their product free of charge, which doesn't mean we should get a further bonus just for taking them up on their offer.

Are all FPCs now entered in as 2001?

Do you have a link for this? A cashier argued with me that they have to charge tax because it's the law. Would love to give her some info on this.

Do passport pictures count?

Do passport pictures count?

No. It says in the exceptions that they dont count

[momgoneawol]

Not sure if I can get to the $50 mark. Milk and TP so far, not sure of what else.

As for the yogurt, I haven't tried to freeze it yet but was thinking I would do it in ice cube trays to make it easier when I want to use it again. (will store the cubes in another container once frozen for smoothes)

[moon18]
