AUGUST 21, 2007: Online Bargain Hunters Unite in Toronto!

Free public party attracts hundreds in search of good deals,
and in support of Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation

Toronto, Canada, AUGUST 21, 2021 – If you thought clipping coupons saved you a lot of money, you haven’t met fanatical members of RedFlagDeals.com, Canada’s largest online bargain-hunting community. The six-year old website registered its 100,000th member this summer and boasts almost a million fresh eyes per month. Founder and President Derek Szeto decided to celebrate this milestone with The RedFlagDeals.com Bargain Hunter’s Picnic; a massive, public, outdoor party scheduled for August 26 at the newly renovated Varsity Stadium in Toronto.

“The RedFlagDeals.com community is an enormous part of our success,” he says. “Members share tips on good deals, make recommendations on what to buy, and are having a lot fun saving money and spending it wisely. We really wanted to show our appreciation for their loyalty and participation. While celebrating our community though, we also knew that it was important to give back to the community-at-large. For that reason we’re working with Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation to help make lives a little brighter. It is a wonderful organization and we are very happy to work with them.”

Within the first few days of event registration, ticket sales for the Bargain Hunter’s Picnic raised over $1,000 for Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation. The event will feature a gourmet BBQ, live entertainment, giveaways, games and more. It takes place from 12:30 – 4:30PM on August 26 at Varsity Stadium & Field in Toronto. Although it will act as a highly-anticipated meet-and-greet for the RedFlagDeals.com community, everyone and anyone is welcome to attend.

RedFlagDeals.com features daily deals, coupons, and freebies for both online and in-store purchases. An editorial team, with the help of the community, locates the best deals; helping readers make smart purchases in a sea of online retailers. The Bargain Hunter’s Picnic will mark the end of Reader Appreciation Month at RedFlagDeals.com and is the first major, public and official community event.

When: Sunday, August 26, 12:30 – 4:30 PM
