So I've been an on again/off again air miles collector for about 30 years. Have used it for a few flights and other rewards but didn't put a whole lot of effort into collecting the points. I check in on the Canadian thread pretty regularly. I always see the air miles thread and think "I really should get back on that". I usually shop at Zehr's (closer) but it has been going down hill the last few years and I wanted to try Sobey's anyway.
So Air Miles physically mailed me some decent bonus coupons and I downloaded the Sobey's app the other day for offers. Then I finally figured out what the heck "Blue Friday" is!

I did a large shop yesterday and then returned today specifically for the Blue Friday deals. We're a family of 4 with two boys (11,7) so I easily hit the total amount targets for the bonus mile. I also paid with my Air Miles Amex.
I haven't totaled it exactly but I figure I easily cleared 1000 miles all with buying stuff I would have bought anyway. Of course some of the items I bought more than normal but nothing that I couldn't freeze or wouldn't keep. The last time I paid attention to collecting you could never dream of pulling in this many miles. Total game changer for me.
So thank you to everyone on here for the great information.

I'll follow along and add any info when I can.
Oh, and I did actually prefer the Sobeys to my regular Zehrs.
