When Flipp asked us to participate in their #FlippFood Challenge we didn't hesitate.
We only talk here about things we actually do or use, so even if we are compensated for writing, you know it's a legit thing for us. We're going to tell you what we really think. Really, it was just a matter of time that we wrote about Flipp, and if they'd like to pay us to do it, all the better! And, folks, we've used Flipp for months now and love it.

So what is Flipp?

It's an app you can download for free to find the best deals from store flyers. Shopping sales and using flyers is my hands-down favourite way to save. If you're buying healthy, whole foods, flyers beat coupons every time. It's rare to find coupons for fresh produce and other unprocessed foods, while through flyers, you can find them every single week.

Here's how we use Flipp to save money and time...

1. Flipp Makes Price Matching More Painless

We know lots of people who swear by Price Matching. You know the drill, I'm sure: take a competitors flyer to a store that Price Matches. Get the other store's sale price - sometimes plus a bit more.


Price Matching works great if you're organized enough to have all the flyers with you and if you don't mind being bold enough to slow up the line up behind you while you search the flyers to prove the price to the cashier. I've been neither consistently organized or bold in the past.


Here's a place where Flipp shines. You no longer need to haul around all the flyers and endure the eye-rolling of your fellow shoppers. With Flipp you've got all the flyers right there in the palm of your hand. Use the "Clippings" feature, and proving the sale price from the competitors becomes quick and convenient.


One caution: Like any new policy or technology, often the cashier is the last to know. Until using the Flipp app becomes more common, be prepared for a bit of resistance at first.

2. Save some trees.

For years I've wanted to be one of the people who put the "no junk mail, please" sign on their mailbox. Save some trees. Save us from clutter. Save some hassle recycling papers.
