I'm flyer obsessed but for price matching. Just show the flyer of a rival store to the checkout girl and they will automatically reduce the price to match.
I shop at no frills, but last week one rival had pop at 2.88 for 12, food basics had strawberry for $1 lb. There's usually 4 or 5 items I would regularly buy. Just show the flyer and price is matched and I only have to shop at my usual store :-). Saved at least $10 on an $80 shop every time. |

Isn't it a bit of an economical own goal to shop over the border? What effect does this have on border towns when mostb of the money is spent in another country?
Any store that wants the business need to look at what they offer and their pricing compared to the competition - Canadian or US. I'm sure they don't lose any sleep when they are charging Brits of thousands of $'s in insurance premiums or failing to pass on part of the savings they're making when importing goods with the strength of the CAD. We don't go every week but when we do we make the most of it. If there's an opportunity to save a few hundred dollars and have a much wider selection of goods to buy then I'll make the trip and I won't feel guilty for doing so. |

In Canada we have clothes/shoes choice of a small Sears, Walmart or Superstore and a few small speciality shops.

My Sobeys and Superstore are practically opposite each other, so I check the flyers and buy in both. Most of the time I only pay full price for about 30% of my shopping :)
