    A couple of years ago, my husband enrolled in Mi Carrefour. Every time we shop in a carrefour, we are asked if we are enrolled and provide our code (which is my husband’s DNI).
    Yesterday he received an email announcing he won a ‘canasto carrefour’ with a list of other winners and the branch where we could collect it (our usually shopping branch, a small Carrefour express).

    Today he was given a reusable Carrefour bag, plus a number of goods:
    Olives are behind the DDL, and there is a bag of rice behind the chips and grated bread. The dark red one is a barbed sponge (virulana)

    Are they past the sell by date? :P

    I haven't checked, but I am quite surprised they put a can of tuna and oil in the mix. They are quite expensive compared to other basic goods (like sugar, for example).

    We don't usually buy these products from Carrefour, except maybe the olives if I need them for a recipe, the crackers, and the sponge.

    I talked with my husband and he had participated in a survey on https://www.panelcarrefour.com.ar/index.php

    The prize came from the participation in the panel, not from Mi Carrefour. My apologies - I wasn't aware of this.

    To be fair, Mi Carrefour gives me free stuff regulalry. I have a free egg at easter, champagne at Christmas, that kind of stuff. Only downside is me or the wife have to take a photo shaking the hand of the supermarket store manager. I always volunteer my wife, of course.

    Btw, if you like easter eggs, some of them are very cheap in Carrefour now. Cheaper than regular chocolate in many cases.

    Can you recommend a brand? We have been buying the Dia's chocolate en taza for my cakes, and found out it is also good to eat alone, and definitely cheaper than any chocolate bar sold for other use. I think it's 30-50 pesos the bar. But, of course, there is no fondant chocolate.

    the best local chocolate I know here is the Aguila black Amargo one.....

    That is really as close as it gets to normal dark chocolate without any additions.

    Of course it's expensive.....but now by a high usd/euro, actually ok priced.....think it's 250 for a plate! The normal Aquila in a pink color packing not even closely as good!

    Just a reminder that on Thursdays you get 15% discount when paying with Mercado Pago (money in account). I'll be doing that tomorrow having chosen beer as my favourite of the week (with the Carrefour app) for 25% discount bring the total discount to 40%.

    Do the discounts accumulate?

    In my experience it depends on the discount. The bank discount works no matter what the Carrefour offers are. However Carrefour's offers don't always accumulate. I've just made an online order for 12x 6litre bottles of Nestle water which had a 35% discount on them. As I expected I didn't get either of the birthday/favourite discounts on top. Surprisingly I did get another 10% discount when I opted for the 1 payment rather than installments when checking out.

    Our local Carrefour Maxi aren't as generous as they were when they first opened. It used to offer good discounts on every product if you bought three of the same. Now it's only on certain products, usually those we don't like. Plus they're not very good at restocking when some products run out. I've been waiting weeks for them to restock the two varieties of Mecklenburger beer I like.
