FreshCo won't get AirMiles. It's a discount grocery store. Honestly though, the cost decrease in your groceries will probably more than make up the difference in the loss of AirMiles. Put that extra $40/week that you are saving in a vacation fund and you'll get there faster than you would with AirMiles.
Totally agree with this. The best savings I get on groceries is to buy giftcards at Sobey's or Foodland when they have bonus miles, and then using them at Freshco where it's cheaper. But even without doing that, I am going to save 30 percent by not doing my shopping at Sobey's or Foodland.
That's what I have been doing. I use some of my gift card money at Sobey's or Foodland for special large Air Mile related says, but the majority of my shopping gets done at FreshCo with the gift cards. One of the two Foodlands near me will let me purchase gift cards with gift cards and so will the Sobey's. I've purchased Shell, xBox, Cineplex and the Keg gift cards so far using the Foodland gift cards.
