I think I'll be doing the salad dressing, pie deal as well. Seems like a great deal to me.

Time to grind some beans and make a cup of coffee! Then I will look at the safeway flyer and run away for the day!

I did post it under the matchups but here it is here too so you don't have to scroll
Safeway West
(Sorry it is late! Safeway likes to hold out on putting the eflyer up and i don't get mine through canada post until monday or tuesday when the sale is almost over. I am not sure what safeway is paying canada post for but i am pretty sure it isn't to get a flyer to people well after sales are over (many miss the 3 day sales completely and just do their shopping at walmart instead around here.))

Does anyone know which Weber vitamin products are included in the airmiles promo this week?

[cheekysaver]

I can't find the webber deal anywhere but here... airmiles doesn't have it listed

The flyer indicates select varieties and sizes.

Best Western gc's are back up, (and where are all my air miles)

[Giving-Small]

I might do this. I donate to a charity that wants vitamins and they include them in the hampers at Christmas time.

I checked the Webber Vitamins. There's two vitamins (a Vitamin D and maybe a B6) that are between $4.40 per bottle and $5

So buy 4 bottles x $4.40 = $17.60
Collect 100 airmiles for 4 = $10.50

Repeat 5x * 17.60 = $88 plus tax
Purchase some other items for $12 to donate to get to $100 to get 100 airmiles bonus for spending $100

Out of Pocket Expenses:

Total Cost $108.80
- ( Value of aiir miles earned 5*$10.50 = $52.50 + $10.50 (spend $100) = $62.50 )
= $45.30

Donate Vitamins to a Charity

Tax credit is approximately 45% (once you donate the $250 minimum amount). Rate varies a bit by province.
At 45% you would receive a ~$48.96 credit for taxes.

You don't get tax credit for the taxes you paid. So you only get tax credit on the cost of the goods($100*.45%=$45). So you don't get paid to shop because $108.8(total cost) - $62.5(AM value) - $45(tax credit value) = $1.3 loss.

That being said, if you can donate $100 worth of stuff, and only be out of pocket by $1.30, you're doing pretty good in my books.

My food bank gives me a tax deductible receipt for the total amount of the cash receipt.

If you work hard you can reduce your income up to 20% with donations. That can lower your income tax bracket... if it doesn't you make well over 100K a year and it still helps you...almost 50% of your donation value would come back as a income tax refund. That is pretty amazing... you get to help people and not pay for it and get a tax break too.

Donation is tax credit, not a deduction. Tax credit doesn't lower your income tax bracket. It lowers your tax payable. Only tax deduction can lower your income tax bracket like RRSP deduction.
