Okay, so seriously, who doesn’t have the Flipp app yet? Who doesn’t know what that is?
Raise your hand. Admit it.
If you are reading this, then you absolutely should have the Flipp app because you’re looking to save some money. If I left the house with nothing but this app, no coupons, no pre-research, nothing else but the app and some money, I KNOW I would still be able to save some. Before continuing with reading, download the app and follow along with me! (There’s no kickback to me, and no need to really “sign up” for anything)
Summary of what the app does:
-Holds all flyers for everywhere closest to you, and then some stores that are a little bit further. Grocery, Furniture, Technology, etc
-Allows you to “favourite” a store flyer to easily find it each week
-Has a search function which allows you to search for a store flyer, for an item, or for a coupon
-Items are tagged with brand and description (both “milk” and “Neilson” will bring up the same product)
-Allows you to “clip” an offer or sale that you think is a good price, and they all go into the “clipped offers” section
-Allows you to make your own shopping list right inside the app, and then shows you how many offers in the flyers match that item (this week “Eggs” gives 20 sale deals)
-Has a section for Coupons. Select the coupon you want and send it to your email to print
-Has coupon match-ups for the coupons in their database. Before you leave the house to shop, this is a one-quick glance to see if there’s anything here you’d want to buy so you can print the coupon while getting your shoes on
-Gives you the option to connect an account and sync loyalty cards to the app. Imagine not having to dig for that one loyalty card to scan in your wallet, and just click on this tab in the app! Air Miles, Aeroplan, CAA, Canadian Tire money.. It’s all here
All of this allows for quick and painless Price Matching when you shop at an applicable store (Walmart, FreshCo, No Frills, etc all price match), as you don’t carry around 10 unruly newspapers or have to flip through every page to find where that one deal was. It gives you access to all of the sales on that week for everywhere around you, and gives you no excuse to not save some money!
Every single item I am about to put in my cart gets searched on the Flipp app first. I might think it’s a good deal where I’m standing, but searching it on the app will find it cheaper somewhere else and I can quickly and easily price match it for added savings (or it reaffirms that yep, that’s a good price).
It’s also good for checking to see if you can double dip on your coupons. On Thursday when the flyers come out, I will search the name of every coupon I have in my binder to see if there are any sale deals I can pair with my dollars off papers. This is how I can get items for free, as I can see something is one sale for $1 and I have $1 off coupon for it. Consider that deal clipped and cashed in on on my next trip!
