The London Free Press has also been offering Frugal Fridays for a while now. . Same idea but obviously different retailers. www.lfpress.com

Makes sense - the Freeps is owned by Sun media

Is the deal only good for the one friday listed?

I'm also a little confused about going to their office, what's that about? Somewhere else on the site said something about their online store being open at 8am

And.. Do you have to pre-pay at their office to use the discount? Do you HAVE to use it online or can you use it in store?

Hopefully my questions aren't stupid :( thanks!

At least with the Free Press, some retailers offer only one week. . and some repeat for several. .

You go to the paper and purchase the gift certificate. .

I am guessing that it's in store only, but if I were interested in one, I might call the retailer to ask. . Then you will know for sure
Hopefully my questions aren't stupid :( thanks!


No such thing as a stupid question. . just stupid people who will tell you that your question is stupid. . especially on redflagdeals. :) Good luck.

Since we kind of have a thread on this now, B101 in Barrie does this every Wednesday. They call it Half Price Wednesdays, here is the link

I have bought from them, went smoothly.

Can you buy more than 1 of the gift card?

so let say i want 5 hooter gift certs, can I buy all 5?

[outlier617]

You'd have to buy the gift certificates one at a time. . It's a mad rush for the Gift Certificates that lots of folks want, so the odds of getting more than one in before they are gone is nil to none. .

just got myself 2 Big Al's certificates earlier this morning :D, ordered one of them it was the last one, then few minutes later another one was available so ordered that one too (must be someone's transaction got timed out). Anyone know if they will let you buy 2 of the same certificate at once? Don't see anywhere on the site saying you can't and you are allowed to buy up to 4 each Friday...
