I was grocery shopping early this morning, and I noticed a lot of bonus Air Miles on items. Now we all know I love my miles, but I want to take a moment and warn you about them. I will use this product as an example. Usually this box is on sale for $1.89 at various stores. If you are shopping to just collect Air Miles you would spend $19.74 on this to get $1 worth of Air Miles. Or, if you wait for a sale you spend $11.34 for the same product. I would rather have the $8.40 in my grocery budget envelope then 10 Air Miles.
Yes, miles and other loyalty points are awesome but I strongly urge you to know your prices before you make your decision.
It pays to be frugal
