while looking at a 2026 jeep in Canada ,why do they have an usa flag on door ?

I'm starting to run out of some of the common consumables that I use in my home workshop.

Things like WD-40, 3-in-one oil, shoe goo, brake clean, evaporust and stuff like that.

What non-US products have you found in this category? (bonus fake internet points for recommendations on where to buy them as well)

I heard they pulled out of BC, is this a sign of them having financial trouble and closing all locations eventually? This will be a catastrophe for me if this happens… I feel like Harvey’s is the only Canadian thing we have here that’s almost across Canada

I shop in Canada a lot (so many good deals in Canada) and as long as I'm there for over 48 hours I can buy 800 USD in goods tax free. I recently bought a bunch of shoes and used electronics for very cheap in Canada. I was really shocked that I was way under the limit. I didn't know the limit was so high. I definitely recommend returning to the US by bus or train as one of the border officers said "don't worry you need to buy thousands of dollars before you have to start worrying about fees",

He was incorrect legally but I feel only the land crossing by bus checkpoints would have that attitude and I'll go by the written rather than the spoken law.

800 USD is like 1,135.96 Canadian Dollars. I love buying Canadian.

Hey hey everybody, was just curious if anyone knows any reputable shops in and around the Hamilton/Toronto area that have some good savings on open box and refurb stuff like either laptops, phones or PCs in-store and not just online?

I'm asking because I do have my native status card and while I can file for the 8% HST savings after the fact, it's a bit of a pain so doing it in shop would be the most ideal. I'm just hoping for something different than Bestbuy where (it seems?) like all their open box and refurb are online order/warehouse kind of items.

Thanks in advance, have a good day :)

My pup needs a new ID tag. I'm trying to buy Canadian and also want something cute. Any recommendations? I'm not really a fan of the metal IDs since they're so noisy. Looking for acrylic or resin.

This is my favourite jewelry online store that stocks contemporary styles - all Canadian made!

And when I checked those big cartons on the side, most produce are actually from the US.
For a while, I thought that I was shopping for real local produce at local stores omg silly me.

I'm lookinhg into buying a new phone, and have accepted that I need a more durable phone case this go around so as to avoid shelling out hundreds of dollars in phone repairs.

I'm looking for a Canadian made, owned and operated company that makes and sells phone cases similar to Otterbox's Defender style.
It needs to keep my phone safe from drops, falls, and the occasional accidental launch from my butter fingers. To that end, one with a somewhat grippy texture would help as well. Bonus points if it is stylish and/or comes in my favourite colour.

If this company exists, please let me know below.
Thank you all.

I noticed older threads on Kavuus online and wanted to provide a recent experience. Ordered a sectional from Kavuus in early April (12 weeks ago), still hasn’t shipped. When I ordered I was quoted 5-7 weeks timeline to ship. Customer service has never provided me with any updates without me inquiring. They take your money and you wait, no updates, no nothing. So I plan to give it ~another month before disputing the cc charges. I’ll update the thread then. Let me know if you’ve actually received the furniture you ordered and how the quality was.

Hi, I know, I should put ants and earwigs in a cup and release in a forest but im not gunna do that. So i can be a filthy bug sprayer with a US brand or a less filthy and PATRIOTIC 🇨🇦 bug sprayer with a Canadian brand. Pls help. Thanks for helping me kill bugs, which im pretty sure migrated from the US, and voted for trump

Been a very long while since I was in Montreal - heading there for 4 days. What can I buy Canadian made with Canadian flare which I’d struggle to get in Toronto?

It can be quality clothing, stationary, etc

Hi all! I have been using peppermint halo from saje for years to cool me down during hot flashes but after talking to some former employees of saje and learning how wildly unethical the company is to not only their employees but also the products they make I'm now searching for a dupe. As a Canadian, would also love to support Canadian.

I have been building and improving this site for the past ~3 months or so. The initial idea is simple: an authoritative way to find the best price across 20 product categories covering kitchen appliances and home electronics such as TVs, soundbars, laptops, monitors, mirrorless/action cameras, lenses and more, accounting for approximately $20B of yearly consumer spending in Canada.

It currently covers 17,000+ unique SKUs across 80+ Canadian retailers (Best Buy, Leon's, RONA, Visions, Costco and many more, smaller/regional players, plus live Amazon price checks) and over 100 leading brands. More retailers are being added weekly at this point. Made in Canada, for Canadians.

It's far from perfect, and a few measures have been taken to drastically reduce operating costs. Some categories are endemically hard to compare by design: laptops especially, where one product family can have hundreds of unique SKUs (multiple choices on processor, RAM, storage, colour, keyboard layout, screen, ports, etc.), which often means only one retailer carries any given configuration, making true comparison nearly impossible. On the other hand, kitchen and laundry appliances, cameras, unlocked phones, and others are far more homogeneous in retail channels, so those compare cleanly. That said, you can filter most laptops cleanly getting the specs you may want, at the range of prices provided.

Prices are currently refreshed weekly, but that cadence will increase progressively to daily, and eventually to true on-demand price comparison later this year. The focus now is in stabilizing the site, managing major seasonal new catalog inputs  (e.g. post Consumer Electronics Show, IFA Berlin, MWC Barcelona, Computex Taipei, etc)

Here are a couple of tools (currently in beta) I'm excited about, and here's the reasoning behind them:

1.      Ask Google for a price: say, "LG 5.2 cu-ft front load washer WM3400CW", and you get a page of sponsored results ranked by who paid most, then by whoever has "better" SEO. Finding the actual cheapest often means digging pages deep. And the price differences could be from a few cents to hundreds of dollars.

2.      Ask ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. the same thing and you get the "best" from whatever's on that first results page.

So, in addition to regular product search by category, name, MPN and multiple filters, price history on the site, and even side-by-side spec comparisons of TVs and others, I also built:

 1.      AI search on the site (/ai), where you can ask more complex and specific questions like "cheapest 22 cu-ft French door fridge from Samsung or LG that ships to Vancouver."

 2.      An MCP server (already live for Anthropic's Claude; ChatGPT and Gemini coming soon). So, if you use an AI assistant that supports connectors, you can query Canadian prices directly from it.

 Other roadmap features include price alerts, barcode reader, and many more features enabled via an iOS and Android app as well as browser extensions.

So, if you're in the market for a major appliance or anything across the 20 categories currently covered, give it a shot. Find a bug or something broken? Tell me here or use the "Report a Bug" form: /report-bug. I definitely welcome your feedback; the good, the bad and the ugly.

Two final notes: the site has a handful of affiliate relationships (Amazon and others) implying that it may earn some affiliate revenue through used links. They do not affect how prices are ranked. And this is a solo, independent project done in my free time.

Thanks for checking it out. If it works for what you are looking for, Super! And tell your friends! If not, let me know as well and I will try to fix it!
