    We were out of almonds. We use them a lot. Costco wanted $19.99 for 1.3 kg. Plus there is a $55 membership fee factored in.

    Loblaws, produce department, has a section for bulk nuts and dried fruit (like cranberries) and trail mix.

    Bought President's Choice almonds, reg. $4.99/245 g, clearance $2.99*, exp. Jan 2016.
    Bought 7 packages totaling 1.7 kg weight = $20.93
    PC points accumulated = 20000 or $20.00
    Redeemed PC points
    Out of pocket = $0.93 (over 93% savings compared to Costco's price)

    Tip: check the date of groceries that expire. I am finding that stores may not discard all expired products. Some of the almonds were dated April 2015. Told the employees about it before leaving.

    Almonds went in the freezer

    Costco's price went up. It was $16.99 last time we bought. We use to split them up in Ziplocs and put them in the freezer.

    I think you need to change the title and include $ 0.93 with PC points redemption as the present title is misleading

    Read that they are good for health
    Both pistachios and almonds contain significant amounts of antioxidants, which may help lower your risk for certain health conditions, including heart disease and cancer.

    It's a brag and that is what she paid, so it's not misleading and nothing should changed.
