These questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism

Robert D. Gibb is posting a stunning series of articles on Air Miles on the forum. I found the series very useful and enlightening so I’m posting it on the blog as well.

Robert D. Gibb is a Contributing Editor (DRIPs) at the Canadian MoneySaver Magazine.

This is a good week for the AirMile Deals

1. Buy 5 Get 50 AM House Brands

Last weeks items hould continue this week. Whether the are still onsale is always a consideration in week 2. However, there are a couple of other considerations:

a. House brand OJ was part of the 5/50 @ $3.50/1.89L container. Essentially you’d get 10 AMs/item and @ $0.13/AM you effectively pay $3.50 – (10x 0.13) = $2.20

However, this week Minute Maid 1.89L is $2.50. The difference is only $0.30 and you might feel name brand is worth more.

b. HE Laundry Soap 2.95L. The best the House brand comes on sale is around $5.50. As part of a 5/50 deal that reduces the price to $4.20. (See 2)

2. Week 3 (of 4) of the Spring AirMiles Promo

This promo awards bonus AMs when you buy multiples (usually) of about 50 various name brands. Buy 5 different product offers and earn a bonus 50 AM ($6.50 value). I usually find it hard to find 5 items I want and they’re often high-priced. However, the front page of the flyer usually has one or two inducement products of better value. This week’s is a good one:

Buy 2 Sunlight Laundry 2.95L @ $5.99 and get 50 AM bonus. That’s $3.25 AMs each taking it down to $2.74 each. (See 3) Are there any coupons on Sunlight?

3. Tuesday is “Spend $35 Get 10% Off Day”

If you have the We Care books you could basically get another 10% off using a $2 grocerty and $2 meat coupon

Remember the Sunlight above?

$5.99 @ 20% off is$4.79. Got a $1 coupon $3.79. Add in the $3.25 in AMs earned and you’ve effectively got the Sunlight for $0.54.

4. Name Brand Offers

Just a few of note:

Diana BBQ Sauce $2.99 Buy 2 Get 15/AM

Buy Tuesday @ 20% off (see 3) = $2.40 each and get about $1 in AM each.

Knorr Soups/Broth @ $2 each part of a Buy 8 Get 80 offer. That’s $1.30 AMs each.

Buy Tuesday @ 20% off. That’s $1.60 each. I have coupons worth $0.50 each taking it to $1.10 each and I earn the equivalent of $1.30 each in AMs. That’s an 18% profit!!!!! Outstanding!!!!!!!

Lipton Soup @ $2.50 each part of the same 8/80 offer

Tuesday gets it at $2.00 each plus $1.30 in AMs.

According to Wikipedia:

Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day is an annual event, held in late April or early May, in which Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops give out free ice cream cones all day. Over one million free cones are given away each year. Charitable organizations are often present at the stores each year and enjoy a significant amount of fundraising success.

The first Free Cone Day was held on May 5, 1979. It was done by Ben and Jerry as a customer and staff appreciation event for the one year anniversary of their ice cream store’s opening, and has continued ever since.

The 28th annual Free Cone Day was held on the day of April 25, 2006.

The 29th annual Free Cone day will be April 17, 2007.
