Flipp
Flipp is a Canadian retail technology platform founded in 2007, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. It aggregates digital flyers, weekly ads, and coupons from many retailers (especially groceries, pharmacy, general merchandise) and lets users browse by postal code, clip coupons, build shopping lists, compare deals and see what’s on sale near them.
Flipp aims to help shoppers make smarter purchasing decisions and save money. On average it claims users save about CAD $-45 per week on groceries and other essentials, although actual savings depend heavily on user habits, local retailer participation, and how many deals are available.
Some strengths:
- Wide coverage of flyers and deals in many Canadian cities – useful for comparison shopping.
- App available so users can clip coupons digitally, sync shopping lists, add loyalty cards, etc.
- Helps reduce time in planning shopping trips; gives visibility into what’s on sale beforehand.
Some limitations / what to watch out for:
- Deals/flyers depend on retailer participation; some stores may not be included in certain areas.
- The app / site sometimes may not show all deals in all stores, or some flyers may lag.
- Some users may find the number of deals overwhelming or that filtering/sorting capabilities are limited.
Best suited for:
- Shoppers who want to save regularly, compare flyers rather than walking store to store.
- People living in larger Canadian cities where many retailers are included.
- Budget-conscious households, or anyone who likes planning ahead for deals.
Overall, Flipp offers a valuable service for deal discovery and shopping optimization in Canada, particularly useful for those willing to spend a little time checking flyers and using app features to maximize savings.
