I like this. Especially if they have some of the ridiculous deals that Safeway has had over the years.
True story, back in the "Too good to be true." Airmile days, they had a deal where if you bought 4 cleaning products, you got 50 Airmiles. They had these brillo pad things that were on sale for 69 cents, and they qualified for the promotion. So for $2.76, you got 50 air miles. I scoured every Safeway in the city for them and mind-blowingly, nobody at Safeway caught on. I picked up 500 Airmiles a day, for $27.60 +tax a day, for a week. 3500 air miles, or 3 return flights to Vancouver + a $50 gas card for $193 bucks. On the third day, I just started dumping the brillo pads in the Charity hamper by the door. I even asked the cashier if I could just pay for the brillo pads, and leave them there.
