Not exactly but it does give me hope knowing they are becoming available at more stores.
Of all the stores mention i only have Sobeys so still hopeful they will show up there
Uncle Ben has been so good to us this year.:)
And not all of the Sobey's stores here in Calgary carry it, nor all of the Co-op's either. Seems like it has to be the bigger stores who have more space.Quote:

Save on Foods had a skid of it today but it was 7.99 I think, might check our superstore tonight!Quote:

please let me know, it would be much appreciated.
still nothing at my Loblaws. No Zehrs or Sobeys closeby.
It is a coupon for buy 50.00 and save 5.00. It is good at calgary coops and is found in the entertainment book for Calgary. There are 6 of these coupons in this year's book. Your local edition of this may have a similar coupon(s).Quote:

I'm still holding out hope that it continues to show up in alot more stores in a few more cities. Thriftygranny posted that it is in Save on Foods in Red Deer (town 1.5 hrs from Calgary).Quote:

That is a great idea...mmm....not sure if I need anymore rice!Quote:

I live in the Calgary area (Strathmore) , where do I get the entertainment coupon book you are referring to? I checked the local Sobey's, No Frills and Co-op today and none of them have the tubs of rice, I might have to do the 45 minute drive into Calgary.Quote:

I have seen the tubs at the Crowfoot Co-op (on Crowfoot Way NW) and at Sobeys in Airdrie. Perhaps make a phone call or two to check if the stores still have some in stock. I am thinking it's a promotion, and once they are out of stock, they may not order more in. Hope you find some!
I thought of you this morning LL when I bought a package of chicken for $4 and then got it free with my coupon. I asked the manager at my Co-op if he had the UB orange tubs of rice and he said they are tight for space so they did not order any in.
Thanks LL for letting me know that some of the Calgary Coop's were carrying the rice, today I managed to get 6 tubs at 5.88 plus they also had the thick and rich pasta sauces on for 10 for 10.00 plus the Aylmer diced tomatoes were 8 for 10.00 etc etc tons of sales, I ended up spending 150.00 and then used my Co-op patronage coupon for "spend 150.00 get 25.00 off" so felt I got a really good deal, I had a huge overflowing cart. This was at the Monterey Square Co-op on 68st & 16th ave Calgary.
Fantastic! You had a great shopping day with some excellent deals. Esp that rice!!! I hope you did the happy dance :-)Quote:

WOWWWIE! That's an awsome deal!!! Can I ask you how they gave you credit? Was it on the store credit card? :-) Thank you for teaching me.
I made the chicken fried rice recipe included with the chicken coupons and it was yummers-now to try the other recipe.
Great to know, i finally found them and picked up 10 today! Not too crazy, 2 for each of my daughters and that leaves 4 tubs for me which will easily be used up. Spanish rice for us with chorzio sausage and lots of cilantro!!Quote:
