Just got email from Subway. $25.00 for a whole month of 50% off footlongs. Footlong Pass is what it's called. Not the first time it has been offered, but first I've heard of it. The passes go on sale for MVP members on the 20th of May. 50% off a footlong every day in June.

If you're really into Subway, I guess it's a decent deal. For me, just getting BOGO deals once in a while is good enough.

Every time I eat at Subway I regret it :Puke:

Not sure what it is, but I end up feeling queasy afterwards

Would have loved this Subway deal back in my single days. There was a time when I was on the road a lot, and would be having Subway at least twice a week.

Safeway is doing a toonie Tuesday type of deal where they only charge you $2 for 2 pieces of fried chicken (1 thigh, 1 drumstick). You can also get an order of (spicy fried) potato wedges for $2 as well. Size-wise, it is nothing to write home about, and they use quite a bit of powder (corn starch?) to coat the chicken. But for $2 in this day and age, I am not going to complain about a single thing at all. It is glorious.

(Interestingly, the price tag they stick on your package is still going to show $4.19 or something. But the discount gets applied at the checkout.

All Atmosphere stores are closing down.

Additional 40% off everything in the store. Stacks on marked down and clearance items.

Some pretty good deal on hiking shoes, dad sandals and the like.

There's none close by..... The closest one to me is Park Royal. And if it was anything like Toysrus the deals weren't all that great

Went into park royal 2 weekends ago, it was all garbage

Maybe if you’re looking for a generic jacket or like the lesser model shoes from regular brands but there was nothing even then.

headhunt3r 05-17-2025 10:08 PM

Lots of gas deals thus weekend.

PC points offer 5000 points worth at least $5 when you spend $10 or more at Mobil. Single redemption
Triangle offer has $5 CT money when you fill up 25L at a Petro station. Multi-use
Journie offering 10c off per litre at Chevron. No limit.

Gumby 05-17-2025 10:19 PM

The Journie offer is random, 5 or 10 cents off per litre.

Mine was only 5 cents. :(

headhunt3r 05-18-2025 06:19 AM

Ya, all those offers unfortunately are YMMV. I happen to have gotten them all.

Damn, that's a great deal at a very good restaurant. I would hope the place is packed for this. They've been really struggling for traffic at that location and I've seen all sorts of deals happening there.

BIC_BAWS 05-19-2025 01:08 AM

There's also a credit card thread

spoon.ek9 05-19-2025 03:22 PM

anytime people approach me with credit card offers I immediately tell them (nicely) that I already have their card just so they'll leave me alone lol

jing 05-19-2025 04:55 PM

Looks like only the WE has roadside assistance etc

I tell them I'm illiterate. never has anybody offered to fill out the forms for me

Badhobz 05-19-2025 06:07 PM

^That’s funniest shit ever. Considering practically all those “salesmen” are buddy guys or Somalian refugees wearing a moors suit and barely able to speak Engrish.


Hey buddy !!! You want to earn cash back ?!?!

You still get the $150 bonus if that's what you meant? You still go through that link.

I actually just applied: they ask you after entering your income, whether you want the WE instead. And the threshold is $80k individual, $150k household which I would think every one of you RS ballers would qualify for :D.

Dollar Drink Days are back at McDonald’s.

Edit: Fuck, another BOGO post. This is why I hate posting from an iPhone. Can’t see worth shit and my sausage fingers not helping.

MG1 05-22-2025 12:06 AM

Dollar Drink Days are back at McDonald’s.

Okay, Summer Drink Days are back at McDonald’s.

Any size fountain drink for a loonie. Pick up only and via app, I believe. Limit of one per day until September 1st.

Soft Serve Vanilla Cone for a dollar.

Small or Medium Ice Coffee for a dollar.
