Airmiles Armchair Chatter

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Sobeys gift card offer now? But I know it’s not going to happen soon. One can wish!

Maybe if we all pray for it, it will happen.

And gas is super low too!

True but our main car is a new hybrid plugin (Honda Clarity) so our gas bill is tiny now.

I hope they wait until this crisis is finished since no inter-region or inter-province travel is recommended. Here they even discourage going to neighbouring towns to avoid propagation as much as possible.

That is sooooo tempting. They have my vitamins on BOGO free. I have enough right now for about 2 weeks. I'm having a really tough time adjusting my thinking when it comes to shopping. Normally I have a stock of pretty much everything at my house....I buy multiples when something is on sale. I would never have only 1 bottle of vitamins. I'm down to 3 tubes of toothpaste which realistically I have plenty but my habits are saying 'you're out, get more'. With both of us being off work right now I've got to be careful....the question becomes should I spend $50 right now. Those vitamins are around $18-20 a bottle and both DH and I take them and my girls are dipping in and taking some as well on occasion.

If you are both off work at the moment, Airmiles must take a back seat. We don't know how long this thing is going to last. Airmiles will be there when we are back to normal.

I went to Rexall for my Claritin, and picked up more melatonin for the boy since it was on sale as well. They had no TP (don't NEED it but was hoping to get an extra pack to avoid more shopping than I need to do) but managed to get to $52 before taxes... go easter chocolate!! Also stopped at the Food Basics next door and picked up some bagged apples though they cost more than the ones you pick up, and some pita & hummus that the boy was super excited to get. I think we are good for a week now... fingers crossed!

Shopping is weird now. Put stuff down, walk back, let them ring it up. Walk back to pay, then back to wait for it go process and then finally get your stuff and go. Some people at the grocery store were not very clued in to others around them waiting to get past or whatever, I had to make a few detours to keep far enough from people and not have to wait forever for them to pick just the right piece of fruit. Touching them ALL. Ah well. Got what I needed any way.

Its all really just changing my habits....I’m a VERY regimented person. I get up at the same time everyday, eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch everyday. I have the same work routine from the minute I get there until the minute I leave. I sound super boring, I know.

 

[bababear_50]

Ok
I know it's only 3 airmiles but I had a couple of other airmiles issues (BMO)
so I did online chat ,,and said
You owe me over 440 BMO airmiles and you take away 3?????

Thank-goodness for saving emails and screen shots,,,
All is well and I got 220 from last Nov and she says the other ones will come March 31st.

It was a good deal for me...the probiotics I get are $27.99 so I did the BOGO and saved $27.99.
I take them everyday and it will save my next month's budget.
And no not super boring,,,,I like my day VERY well organized and planned out also....we are just normal.lol

Did you find out why they took the 3AM away? Was it a return?

Yep
I cancelled a hotel reservation for a work related conference in Feb.
My mistake,

gas is super low due to Saudi Arabia and Russia having a toddler tantrum about who should cut down on production...all the while our Canadian oil is only trading yesterday at 6.35 A BARREL For that price we are actually giving it away. It's going to be a huge climb out of this. I could go on,...but I don't want to get kicked off the boards here and cause any hurt feelings. But as a country...we should be using out OWN resources...and NOT importing oil.

I’m going to hold myself back.....I can’t very well tell my adult children they can’t go out for anything other than a walk or a drive when I’m out shopping for items that I don’t need today.

Both the hubby and I are like that as well. They hubby more than me lol. He does't even change his schedule on weekends either lol. Our youngest is very much the same. He's very regimented in his routine as well. The older DS is sturggling a bit with all of this isolation. He is pretty much a home body, but he does like to go out the odd time with friends and hang out...but that's not happening now lol.

I was actually just bugging him this morning as he was getting his water bottle and snack items for work ready. I asked him if he was ready for another exciting evening for tonight's Friday night movie feature hosted in Los Livingroom!!!!! Just wait until I pull out all the supplies to do a family paint night with a YouTube video

I’ve been holding back as much as possible, too. My bank account just doesn’t need the extra strain, and I would rather save up my pennies (or nickels!) for now.

Was it you who said that you’re down to only 3 tubes of toothpaste and normally you’d be stocking back up? I’m totally like that. It’s weird to not replace stocked toiletries, etc. I haven’t been to a drug store in 2 weeks, which is really unusual!

I actually needed TP, we found out yesterday a bunch of ours got wrecked in an iced dam flood we had a few weeks back, so I headed to Rexall. No TP, of course. But I got Easter stuff, and a couple of treats for the kids for now, and got my $50, then went over to Shoppers across the street, where they actually had TP. We should not need to leave the house again for 10 days, I grabbed some extra milk too just to be sure. I was terrified the entire time I was out, I hate this.

Are you waiting for the 200 miles with the BMO bonus boom? Me too! DO we contact BMO or Air Miles on the 31st?

I just got back from a curbside pickup of blinds I ordered online from BouClair. I got them home and brought them in the house ready to put them up when I remembered that the west island of Montreal is being particularly hard hit with Covid. That is where these blinds were shipped from.

Decided to leave them on the floor in the dining room for a week then I will handle the packaging and put them up. Thoroughly washed my hands again after moving them to their resting place.
