Looking for a good moneysaving website!
Is anyone familiar with Martin Lewis' 'Moneysaving expert website' in the UK? well, I was wondering if there is an equivalent of it in Canada?
Hope someone can help as I love a bargain! and am hoping to keep being frugal when I get there!

This has been discussed before.
The problem with Canada is that its not one market, each province and territory has differing laws and taxes pertaining to business, the markets are limited by a small population and vast distances.
The greater Toronto or Vancouver areas might be able to do something online, but I doubt the economy of scale is there.

Re: Looking for a good moneysaving website!
In Britain the Government is from the top down.
Here its from the bottom up.
Your most important government is the City/Municipality that you live in closely followed and interconnected with your Provincial Government.
Police/Education/Health Care/Property Law + loads more, are all at the local/provincial level, and vary greatly from province to province, and even city to city within a province.
The federal government (Canada) has very little impact on your day to day life.
