Attention Students and Parents!! Find all of Canada’s best back-to-school shopping deals on one website!

RedFlagDeals.com launches special section for great shopping deals in September.

TORONTO, AUGUST 12, 2003. Last year, the average Canadian family spent over $300 on back-to-school purchases.  Are you spending too much on back-to-school supplies and looking for a way to save on the essentials and the non-essentials? 

Today, Canadian deal-finding web site RedFlagDeals.com launched a service that will help Canadian parents and students save money on their back-to-school shopping needs.  The site will provide a new section designed specifically to help visitors locate some of the hottest shopping deals and coupons for their online and in-store back-to-school purchases.

“The new school year is an expensive time for both students and parents and back-to-school necessities can add up quickly,” said Derek Szeto, founder of RedFlagDeals.com.  “Comparison shopping is one of the most effective ways to save money and RedFlagDeals’ new section gives Canadian shoppers the opportunity to easily find those back-to-school deals.”

The new back-to-school deal-finding section can be accessed via the main page of RedFlagDeals.com or at http://www.redflagdeals.com/deals/backtoschool.php.  Users can expect to find discounted offers for:

    Deals may apply to online purchases, in-stores purchases or both.  Samples deals available on the site today include:

  • Chapter.Indigo.ca has just added two new coupons to their coupon section.  Users can sign up for these coupons and save $5 off $25 and $10 off $40 purchases.  Students might also want to try searching for textbooks.  Shipping is free for purchases $39 or more. 
  • HBC.com is selling the Melitta 5-cup coffee maker for $19, so that students can remain semi-conscious during homeroom.  They also have AirPack Back Packs for $19 and several other wonderful back-to-school buys.
