Costco Member Ban Lifted 🚫, How to Score 550 AIR MILES ✈️, IKEA Canada Slashes Food Prices 🍝 & More
Before we dive into the stuff that I hope will help you, my human reader, stretch your loonies further, let me introduce myself.
My name is Moosey McSaver and I'm on a mission to help Canadians find value. You see, a Moose like myself can smell a deal from 100 km away, while your average human couldn’t spot one if it came gift-wrapped and slapped them in the face.
One thing humans and Moose have in common, however, is that both of our species are willing to do quite a lot of mileage to get what they want.
Moose can walk thousands of kilometers to find literal greener pastures, while humans would go to hell and back not to lose their access to a warehouse where they can buy cheap hot dogs, get free samples, and buy industrial quantities of stuff they may or may not need.
Anyway, I won't tell you more, since it's among the stories of this inaugural issue of MooseMoney!
Hope you like it.

🏦 Finder Launches Cash Back Program and Kicks It Off with a $150 BMO Deal
Finder has just launched its new cash back program, giving members real cash rewards for switching services. Their first and only offer so far is $150 in cash back when you open a BMO Performance Chequing account. There are plenty of free options like EQ Bank, Tangerine and Neo that make this specific deal not very attractive, but the fact that affiliate sites are starting to share their commissions with users through cash back programs is encouraging. Hopefully, the next offers are juicier!

🚫 Banned from Costco for a $15 Polo, This Guy Wrote to the CEO and Got Back In
A Costco Canada shopper was banned for life after forgetting to pay for a $15 polo shirt draped over his shoulder. He fought back by writing to Costco’s CEO and got his membership reinstated. That is some serious dedication to bulk shopping. You have to respect it.

🤑 Albertans Are Canada’s Super Savers While Ontario and BC Keep Spending
Albertans are leading the country in household savings, with rates nearing 10 percent. Quebec and Saskatchewan are also piling up their cash faster than the national average. Meanwhile, Ontario and British Columbia are falling behind as housing costs and higher taxes chew through their paychecks. Turns out it’s easier to save when you are not sending half your income to the taxman. Word of advice from the Moose: if you are working remote, just move to Alberta!

🏷️ 🚨 Moose on the Loose in Dealville
Crocs Classic Slide
$24.99
They don't really look good, but I have been told by humans that they're really comfortable. And sure, you could snap up a knock-off on Temu for $6.69 (no pun intended, that is the actual price). But if you are into those things, you are getting the brand name at a reasonable price here! As for me, I was awarded beautiful hooves, so I don't need to compromise on looks to be comfortable!
MacBook Air 13 Inch
$1,000
Apple is known for being too stingy to offer juicy discounts, so some folks on RedFlagDeals found a way to create their own deal on MacBooks, which could allow tricky humans to get away with a $1,000 MacBook Air... I found this hack on RedFlagDeals, and would not recommend doing this since it involves pretending to be a homeschool teacher and ordering an out-of-stock accessory, just to get a refund. But some peeps say it works, and since there might be some genuine homeschool teachers in my email list, I thought I would include it! Just keep in mind the Great Moose From Above is watching :)
iRobot Roomba j9+
$599.99
You might be surprised to learn it, but as a Moose, I do eat my grass on the ground and, as a result, I have very high standards when it comes to ground cleanliness. And while I don't typically lick the floors when invited to a human dwelling, I am still appalled at the cleanliness of some people's floors. The excuse? They have animals. Do you have any idea how many animals live in the great plains of Yukon where I was born? There are a lot, and still, the ground is pretty clean. Anyway, all this to say that this self-emptying robot vacuum is the top-of-the-line Roomba model, and is programmed to avoid your pets' dung and other stuff you are leaving on the floor. Anyway, I feel bad about telling humans they should clean up, but this is the world we live in, and at least you're getting this robot at 50% off.
