Oh, and to answer my own question about my load and go offers where I had a 5AM and 4AM offer for the same product (oatmeal), I did get both So 9am for one box of oatmeal doesn't suck.
No pasta at Terry Fox or March Road. I complained about the lack of stock to the cashier at Terry Fox and she said "someone came in and bought all 20 packages at 7am". MY response "there should have been way more than 20 packages for this promo". She said the price and miles are extended through the weekend and more are coming, but I'd be shocked if the miles were actually extended, probably just the price. My planned shop was 830 miles for just over $100. I added some of the prime frozen chicken products and pogos for the kids to offset the lack of pasta, and ended up with 440 miles for just over $100. Still not terrible, but not what I was hoping for.
At Terry Fox it was me! I actually went to Stittsville first and they had 2 near their KD. I then went to Terry Fox for 8:20 (they open at 7) and I split what was on the shelf with another man I saw there - each got 4. But then I noticed a Barillo display in the back near bakery so he and I and another lady cleaned them out - I got 50. But the manager said the deal will extend until Jan 17th and the AM will be on them - I confirmed. So have no worries - sounds like lots of pasta. Barillo would be paying Sobeys for the promo points so surely they would provide stock
Oh man, back where the soup and Italipasta was? I saw the sign there, but no pasta If I had gone there first, I would have had some, I hit Terry Fox around 8:30. I guess I will try to get back tomorrow and see if I can get some pasta and miles. I was so flustered this morning I forgot to use the $50 left on my Sobey's gift card too, so I'd happily snap up $50 in pasta tomorrow!
Thanks for the reminder. It seems like the purex detergent is always gone by the time I get there if it's on the Blue Friday special. I always seem to get the tunnel vision and I'm on a mission to get the most Am i can. I always seem to forget that I can get a rain checkIf they don't have any tomorrow then I will be getting a rain check. I have gotten rain checks on items before and it includes the bonus air miles as well.
Got to say a big thank you to TFC_UNTIL_I_DIE , as I was the other guy at the Terry Fox store. He let me split with him what was left in the pasta aisle and showed me the other spot where they had more. As I went to the cash, I think the manager and the cashier were talking about putting a limit as that they were almost out of pasta. So maybe they might put a limit per customer...At Terry Fox it was me! I actually went to Stittsville first and they had 2 near their KD.

I have been reading on this forum for a while now, especially on the Canadian/Airmiles but never posted. Just wanted to mention that the people here a great. Since September 2017, I accumulated a LOT of Airmiles thanks this group. Thank you everybody!!!
Hi John welcome to the group! Hate to be rude but I'm currently wandering around downtown Toronto and in case someone else doesn't answer you soon, I keep the links to all the flyers updated in the first post. Just hop back there and you'll be able to open it up, good luck and happy hunting!Can someone give me the quick summary of the big AirMiles point getters at Sobeys please? Closes one is in Ottawa and we don’t get their flyer. I will be in Barrhaven on Sunday and would like to stop and see what I can pick up.
Thanks
John
earlier it was reported that the pasta would be $2/4 and not 2/$5 so the math now doesn't work as much in favor of the AM collector as it did with the printing error!Ok, I admit I'm tired but I don't get it. The pasta is 2 for $5, so spend $10, get 100 AM. Since it's 95 AM for $10, it doesn't really seem like a good deal to me...what am I missing?
Honestly even with the corrected price it still worked out to “free” when you factor in the miles so I can’t see how it’s not a good deal.earlier it was reported that the pasta would be $2/4 and not 2/$5 so the math now doesn't work as much in favor of the AM collector as it did with the printing error!
Soooooo exciting to see y'all working together with short-stocked stores!

Its like getting the pasta for free so if its a product you use than its a real bonus. If its not something you would use or don't want to donate then its not such a good deal.
The assistant grocery manager from our local Sobeys called me last night and said they got their Barilla order in, and all they got was 3 cases = 18 packages!! She said she placed my order again and now it looks like they will have the stock on Sunday. I asked her if the air miles for Blue Friday would be honoured with the ‘rain check’ and she confirmed that I would get the air miles as well as the 2/$5 price. I’ll update on Sunday.
My husband went in with my list this morning . I work from home and can’t leave until 5 so he goes on his way to work. He grabbed a flyer on his way in and thought it was an error when the Barilla rang up at 2 for $5. So he showed the cashier the flyer and she adjusted it. There was no sign up anywhere so neither of them knew there had been a correction. Our store had 18, so we bought them all as we will absolutely use them. None of my “My Offers” miles posted. I’ll let it go because of the error in our favour but I need to call at some point because now that I think of it, I haven’t been getting them for a long time now.
Grand total was $105.94 and we received 756 airmiles.
Can someone give me the quick summary of the big AirMiles point getters at Sobeys please? Closes one is in Ottawa and we don’t get their flyer. I will be in Barrhaven on Sunday and would like to stop and see what I can pick up.
