Got my receipt already. Very easy. As soon as you purchase 2 qualifying items, the machine spits out a second receipt just for the contest.
I made 4 separate transactions in the self checkout just to get 4 codes lol.

If I've understood the rules correctly, I should be able to just enter with a new code for the next 3 days, I think.

Look for their pizza dips. They are Irresistables brand and only $0.49 each. So you only need to spend $0.98 for an entry. I bought a bunch of the creamy garlic ones today through the Self Checkout at FoodBasics to get multiple entry codes.

You can find them around where they sell their homemade pizza kits.

Does anyone hear of any winners from these contests?

I never see anything posted. They had a similar contest just a short while ago where you could Win Groceries for a Year
by submitting a code from a Food Basics receipt for a chance to win $10,000 in grocery gift cards, but I can't find any winners.

Thank you this is a great idea, I buy pizza regularly from metro anyways, so it would be to good use.

Address the real problem and that is Grocer greed that made prices go even more haywire than ever. And these same companies made claims for assistance during the pandemic. Put shame where shame should deservedly be. Thanks

"Limit. Participants must respect the following limits, failing which they may be disqualified:"
"One (1) entry per transaction, per person and per email address and when a participant
has more than one transaction, per day, regardless of the number of participating
products purchased."

Does that mean one transaction purchase per day? Voiding separate transactions done on one day?

Food Basics pizza dips, i have never heard of them. Are they good?
What aisle are they in?

In fact in Rand McNally they wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people

If you go to Metro, they are located right around the deli area where they sell pizza and other premade meals.
At FoodBasics, I found them at the very end of the bread aisle where they were selling homemade pizza kits. Don't know if it's the same for all stores.

I've only ever had the creamy garlic dips and yes they are quite good if you're a fan of garlic dip with your pizza.

Though i want to try these garlic dips.

That's weird. Maybe they have them in a different area in your local store? Although at Metro they definitely should be around the deli area. Not sure if they just put it wherever they have room for FoodBasics.

If you've ever had the creamy garlic dips from Pizza Pizza or other pizza restaurants, it's basically identical to that.
