Safeway Canada: Sweet AirMiles Deal April 8


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.

1. Week 2 of the 4 Week Name Brand Promo

On this promo about 50 name brand products come with bonus AMs plus if you buy 5 seperate offerings you get an extra 50 AM bonus.

I didn’t see much to turn my crank but they do offer 2 products with big bonuses to get you started. One this week is Cheemo Perogies (907g) Reg: $4.37 On Sale: $3.99 Buy 4 Get 50 AMs.

Safeway’s House Brand is $3.59 (1kg) so you’d have to bump up Cheemo 10% to get an equivalent cost: $3.99 x 1.10 = $4.39

The difference is $4.39 Cheemo – $3.59 Safeway = $0.80

At $0.13/AM that’s about a 6.25 AM difference. On 4 it’s 25 AMs.

So the name brand has a 25 AM advantage this week.

However, the house brand will likely be on sale and part of a Buy 5 Get 50AMpromotion soon enough so I personally will skip this offer.

2. Buy 5 Get 50 AMs on House Brands

Not a lot of items this week and they didn’t have the little handbill at Customer Service this morning that tells exactly which items are eligible the next two weeks. That is sometimes a problem when staff forget to take down old signs or put up new ones correctly.

Regardless, here are a few that are also on sale. Remember, eligible items on sale week 1 often are not in week 2. Regular price appears first, sale price 2nd:

Select Verdi Spaghetti sauces (700ml) 3.99/3.50
Quick Cooking Oats (2.25 kg) 5.24/3.49 = 33.3% off
Flour (5kg) 5.49/4.99
Frozen Lasagna (907g) 5.55/4.49 = 20% off
Ultra laundry soaps liquid (2.95L) 6.29/5.49

Not on sale but cottage cheese and processed cheese slices are eligible.
