Airmiles Armchair Chatter

So for now...I'll keep dreaming...planning and changing plans...and keep squirreling away my rewards, funds from upcycling furniture. It's just hard for him to justify a trip like that when we have financial goals that we are close to achieving in 2 years once the youngest graduates and being debt free. But I will keep dreaming to get through our long cold ugly winters

I can understand having financial goals and think it's important but never wait to enjoy life because no one knows if they will live long enough or be healthy enough to do it later on. I've learned the hard way that you can never get time back. I'm fortunate that I have no debts but I would never pass on taking a vacation or doing something fun with my family even if it meant taking on some debt.

I know the 2 Rexalls that I have been to lately have the 36 pack of Halloween size Pringles for $13.00. My nephew takes them to work as his snack and the best thing is they don't get crunched.

Metro is TERRIBLE at posting! It's up to the individual stores to send their batch to Airmiles and i have no idea why it isn't done automatically like any other sponsor. Our store can take up to 6 weeks to post and then BOOM a ton of them show up. Shop at a different store and they post within a week. My last Metro post is August 24th, i have 5 receipts on my desk waiting to be checked off.

I had Metro post September 11. Probably just your store missing a week. They'll be there.

Wow ,,good to know but disappointing that it takes so long,,thanks for sharing your knowledge and information,,I appreciate it.

I'm excited about Rexall! Will be heading out at lunch so hopefully someone will go before me and post if both coupons do really work :) I'm taking a friend lol... I sent her the coupons.

I'm looking to move next year (still renting, but new places that are currently under construction and much more efficient) and have been told they will be ready "mid-2020". I'm just wondering if that will be like May or September… If it's September we may be able to squeeze in a trip this winter (especially if I can get some AM to offset the cost). I need more AM!! I'll need to review the Sobeys flyer more closely I think. And Metro, though neither one had anything great. Every little bit helps :)
 
Spent $52.70 pre-tax and received 206 AM this morning. Both coupons worked. I had no trouble adding up to $50. In fact, I never did resort to M&M Foods like I thought I would be.

I bought 2 loaves bread, 2 kleenex packages, 2 del monte fruit cups, cheese, eggs, milk, shaving cream (extra 4 miles on L+G app), 10 bars soap and coffee. The coffee was a couple of dollars more than I usually spend but my husband is out of coffee and it only put me over that couple of dollars. Worth it for the 200 miles.

Yup...I agree!!!! I do say it often when we discuss travelling. We are just trying to be responsible and get out debt gone. He is softening, as he just returned from a fly in fishing trip with the oldest son. So he is coming around. When we total up that trip...I can then say...WELL...guess how much it will cost us to go to Orlando lol :rolleyes1 :laughing:
 
Went to Rexall. Kiddo will be happy to have chips and cheesies again. I need to get back in practice because I spent $60 instead of $50 before taxes, miscalculated. Oh well! I'm happy to be getting some AM again. After they post I need to remember to switch my cash/dream ratio again.

Stopped at McDonalds to get lunch, I haven't eaten there since before Disney and it really doesn't taste as good as I remember. Oh well, guess I'll save some money not eating there any more!
 
I don't go to McDonald's much anymore mainly because it is just so expensive. It used to be a cheap option for food. That and I've reached an age where I just can't digest that food the way I used to. Sometimes I do get a craving for say a Big Mac but after eating it I feel like I'm good for the next year.

I just finished reviewing the flyers. Pretty slim pickings this week. I don't really need groceries so I'm just stocking up on things DS will eat while we're away. Hopefully there won't be a tornado this year and the power will stay on. It can't happen two years in a row can it?
