Flipp Makes Price-Matching Faster
With more and more stores across Canada offering to match the price of competitors’ sale prices, the opportunity to save on groceries and other purchases has affected the way many of us shop. On the plus side, we’re saving money, sometimes on an extreme scale, and on the down side, the experience at the check-out counter can be a source of frustration for those waiting behind the savvy shopper who is stumbling through flyers to save on their purchase.
We’ll now there’s a FLIPP side – increased savings and decreased time at the checkout counter. If you haven’t discovered Flipp yet, you’re in for a treat!
Flipp saves time and money – it’s FREE, it’s easy, it has rocked the price-matching world!
Flipp is an iOs and Android compatible app that lets you view store flyers, search for the lowest advertised price for an item, and clip all of your best sales onto a shopping list. Instead of lugging paper flyers along to show the best price for an item at the cashier, simply flash your mobile device or smart phone at the cashier and say “I’d like to price-match this item to this flyer”. It’s a price-match revolution!
I price-match my entire grocery list each week. Here’s some of the fresh produce I’ve clipped and added to my Flipp shopping list this week:

By price-matching the lowest price on fresh produce using the Flipp app, Christa Clips saves $10-$20 on groceries each week. That adds up to over $1000 a year!
- Grapes – best price $1.49/lb
- Apples – best price $2.49 for a 3lb bag
- Watermelon – best price $2.47 each
- Cucumbers – best price $.50 each
- Cauliflower – best price $1.77 each
- Broccoli – best price $1 each
- Asparagus – best price $2.97/lb
- Green Peppers – best price $.79/lb
- Carrots – best price $2.50 for a 10lb bag
- Romaine Lettuce- best price $.69 each
By price-matching with Flipp, our family saves $10-$20 on our fresh produce ALONE each week which adds up to over $1,000 in savings per year. A thousand dollars! So imagine the savings to be found on higher priced personal items like toilet paper, cleaning supplies, diapers, and razors – they’re always on sale, somewhere! And when it comes to shopping around for major purchase like appliances, electronics, and furniture – remember that if an item is listed in a flyer, Flipp will help you find out where it’s on sale for the best price this week.
No more settling for “that seems like a good deal.” Flipp has changed the price-matching game so that we are confident that we’re paying the lowest possible price each week!
My favourite part of using Flipp is that I can price-match these best prices at my local Walmart and enjoy all of these savings in a one-stop-shop. I place my groceries on the belt in the same order that they appear in my clippings list on Flipp, and then I scroll through and flash my phone at the cashier for each price adjustment. It’s SO fast! I dare say that most customers behind me are oblivious to the fact that I’m price-matching at all!
Saving on weekly groceries continues to play a role in my Save-at-Home-Mom strategy, and I’m so pleased to have found an app to help me save time as well as money! Join me by trying Flipp …

I love Flipp! I’ve been using it for about a month. This week I’ve clipped Finish Dishwasher detergent from Giant Tiger on for 5.97. It’s regularly priced at $7.27.
Isn’t it great?! Did you get your $.03 discount at Giant Tiger for using a re-usable shopping bag, Stacie?! Love that store!
I haven’t clipped any this week, but last week I clipped ivory soap at Frescho, used a coupon and bought 2 packages for $1 each.
Nice! Adding on extra layers of savings like coupons & ebates can save Flipp users some serious cash! Have you added Freshco to your fav flyers list, Amy?!
I tried a few time to find fresco and can’t get it. Do you have a secret?
Clipped the Cavendish fries at GT!!
$1 – good find!
I clipped the Nerf Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow this week and I’ll save 12.98 on it.

ooooh, like a cash back reward, Lisa? Adding on extra layers of savings …. luv it!
I like the Flipp App a lot! I saved on fruit. I saw that grapes were on sale at my store for $2.99 lb, but I found a better deal for $1.49 per pound! I also found at my store that apples were $2.49 for Galas, but with the Flipp app, I found them for .99 cents per pound. I saved tons of money on fruit!
Fruit is SO easy to find on sale, somewhere! I get distracted when all of fancy “Apple” products show up in the search, though — mamma needs a new computer!!!
I clipped Classico Alfredo sauce for a $1 saving.
a buck is a buck is a buck! Thanks for popping by!
I clipped Kraft shredded cheese from Food Basics for 4.99 🙂 matching it with a 2$ coupon makes it really cheap!
Does that add up to $5 in total savings/ Well done!
I love flipp! I saved $16.58 including over $5.00 on my cat litter price matching with Walmart this week. Its like finding money in a pocket or purse you forgot about.
Do that every week and you’ll have found $862 in your pocket, Anne! Love it!
This week i clipped Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner and styling products on sale at Target for $3.94 then i have $2 coupons and $1 coupons (from target) that make them only .94 cents!! Love using Flipp 🙂
I’d say that’s EXTREME couponing, Canadian style, Michelle – way to go!
Neilson milkshakes I forget where but $1 each with the B3S2 coupon it will be a $1 for all 3
what a steal!
I love Flipp! Use it all the time. Currently I have clipped Grapes, Pizza, Green Peppers and Red Peppers at Freshco; Breyers ice cream at No Frills; Ribs at Sobey’s, Quaker instant oatmeal at SuperC; Kellogg’s cereal, Lancia pasta and Cloverleaf tuna at Walmart. Price matching and coupons save me about $500 a month and Flipp makes it so much easier.
you save $500 a MONTH on price-matching, Stacey?! That’s awesome! I hope you’re teaching your friends & family how you do it!
Max Scoop Kitty Litter – saved over $5. Not doing a lot of clipping right now because we are busy moving back from our summer home and having to use up a lot of food we have on hand. But will definitely get really into it once we get home, have to try and save as much as possible leading up to the holidays!
Good luck with the move,Judy – how fun to live off the pantry for a while, knowing that you saved on each item when you bought it!
I clipped a number of Walmart deals for this week’s Anniversary sales – saving over $50!
There are some GREAT sale prices at Walmart this week, I agree! I forget to clip Walmart items since I’m not price-matching them,and then forget to buy them . I must remember to fix that!
