For those of you buying by the pallet, it could be substantial.
I hope I can find a food bank willing to give me a receipt (Richmond Hill Food Bank said they couldn't), otherwise this really won't be worth my time. I am not putting out any cash (have recouped my seed money in the form of Sobeys gift cards) and keep buying more boxes of KD with existing Sobeys points. (I changed my earning preference from AE miles to Sobeys pts for this week.) Since I earn 302 pts per box, and it costs me 250 pts to buy a box, that's a net profit of 52 pts or 26 AE miles per box. I currently have 460 boxes in my garage, so they are worth 11,960 AE miles which isn't a lot considering how much time this iis taking me. However, if I can get ~12K AE miles and a taxable donation receipt for $920, well, now we're talking! (Remember, I am not out one penny at this moment.)

I don't think that is the right KD. 99 cents is the price for the original version (and it's currently selling for $1.35 at my Sobeys). The bonus pts only apply to the premium varieties of KD (whole wheat, three cheese, vegetable, white cheddar, etc) which are currently selling for $1.99.
