New website - flyerscoupons.ca

There’s a new site that has just been launched for Canadians.
Behind the site is that you can search for deals by retailers and you can even submit deals and make money for doing so. (Cool idea)

How amazing is that! No more having to check the flyers or a million other sites, because everything is right here, on this one site.
