Saving in Canada: flyers and comparisons
Saving in Canada: flyers and comparisons
Saving starts with buying something useful at a sensible price. These three BFL websites and a simple routine can help you plan purchases in Canada.
1. Plan your list with Flipp
Enter your postal code to see nearby flyers. Look for items you need and add offers to your list. Check the offer dates and product size before travelling.
2. Compare the total price with Costco
Use the Canadian website to compare items. Larger packages are not always cheaper: compare the unit or kilogram price. Include fees, purchasing conditions and how much your household will actually use.
3. Check cash back with Rakuten Canada
For eligible online purchases, Rakuten Canada offers cash back when you visit a participating retailer through its service. Read conditions and exclusions before buying. Compare the final price first; cash back does not make an unnecessary purchase worthwhile.
Your five-minute routine
- Write down your needs and budget.
- Check local flyers.
- Compare unit prices and extra fees.
- Check eligible cash back and its conditions.
- Save useful websites to your BFL home or a “My savings” collection.
Offers, prices and availability change. Confirm them with the retailer. BFL does not guarantee a particular saving.
