"Empire plans"

STELLARTON, N.S. - Empire Co. Ltd. is planning to convert up to a quarter of its 255 Safeway and Sobeys stores in Western Canada to its discount FreshCo banner over the next five years.

Thinking on a positive note maybe Fresh Co will start an airmiles plan.

FreshCo won't get AirMiles. It's a discount grocery store. Honestly though, the cost decrease in your groceries will probably more than make up the difference in the loss of AirMiles. Put that extra $40/week that you are saving in a vacation fund and you'll get there faster than you would with AirMiles.

The Thrifty Foods flyer is out and once again, no "buy a $xxx Thrifty Gift card, get xxx airmiles" offer. I really can't remember the last time we had one of those and when we do get them, they are always limited to 1 per AM account!

Totally agree with this. The best savings I get on groceries is to buy giftcards at Sobey's or Foodland when they have bonus miles, and then using them at Freshco where it's cheaper. But even without doing that, I am going to save 30 percent by not doing my shopping at Sobey's or Foodland.

WOW! That's a much better offer than the Foodland as its limited to once. I'm up for $40 in free groceries since Metro is two minutes from my home. That might just be my Christmas cheese tray, lol.

Rexall has the pop up coupon on their website for Spend $50 get 100 airmiles again. It’s good tomorrow only, and you need the physical coupon.

No worries, just know that since i've made the move to "Smart-er" tech, there's no going back! (let's not tell my kids though, I've been digging my heels in pretty deeply )

The use 95 cash AM and get 95 AM was announced in an e-mail from IGA (QC). I wonder if I can do it once at IGA and then at Foodland if it would work?!?

That's what I do too. I tend to split my shops when I have the GC. I only get what I have PC points offers for at No Frills, otherwise I buy at FreshCo. I use No Frills as my primary store when I don't have AM related GC.

Just as a side note - one of the cashiers at FreshCo lets me buy other gift cards (not their store, but I've bought Cara and Indigo cards) with my Foodland/Sobeys gift card. I'm scared to ask any of the other cashiers to do it, so I only try when she's working.

Does anyone happen to know anything about shopping at The Body Shop through airmilesshops? I made a purchase that was full price around $35 but I had two vouchers for $10 each. My OOP cost was about $17. I was credited 2 AM which doubled but then AM took them all back. So what gives?
