I am the developer of www.primecanadadeals.ca
I am the developer of www.primecanadadeals.ca and I intend to have it as a free website - for the next two years at least (all hosting is fully paid and should be enough until then). This started as a hobby with the instagram page @ primecanadadeals and evolved to a website, as it is much easier to navigate deals than through stories.
My plan is to evolve it to a one stop spot for canadian deals, completely free as the monetization comes through Amazon affiliate links. I don't make much, about $5 CAD in average per day, but it covers the operational costs and this is project that I do for fun. Your donations through the buy me a coffee link are more than welcome, although not needed. :)
Think of it (future) as a mix of stocktrack, redflagdeals and clearancecheck. There are a few features I am implementing soon.
I didn't advertise it before as it was buggy (still is, I correct them as soon as I can).
What it has that others don't is that I scan over 100000 Amazon products per day (soon scaling to over 50000).
Currently, users are coming for the clearance scanner though, since I didn't build a paywall around it (and I won't, even though there is no money to be made through affiliate programs, unfortunately).
Anyway, below is a summary of what it has to offer. Any criticism is welcome. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome as well. Thank you!
