RedFlagDeals.com was launched in November 2000 by Derek Szeto, a third-year Queen’s University commerce student while he was still in high school. His reasons for starting the site were simple – he couldn’t find what he was looking for. “For months all I could find were coupons and shopping deals available to American shoppers,” says Szeto. “I couldn’t find a comprehensive site that allowed me to view Canadian deals and coupons, and thus, RedFlagDeals.com was born. Designed specifically for the Canadian consumer, this site helps people save money on both their online and offline purchases.” In the U.S., there has been an upward trend and growing usage of online coupons. The advent of RedFlagDeals.com has now made it possible for Canadians to get online and clip their way to savings. With over 200 deals available on the site at any given time and over 3200 archived deals, users can find the following:
