I Bought 20 Identical Items at No Frills and Walmart to Figure Out Which Store Is Actually Cheaper

In total, 12 out of the 20 grocery items were cheaper at No Frills. And while eight items may have been cheaper at Walmart, here’s the catch: the nearest No Frills actually price matched with FreshCo, Longos, Real Canadian Superstore, and Walmart. Walmart, on the other hand, doesn't price match.

I Checked My Credit Report for Free on Equifax and TransUnion: Here’s What I Learned

I Hunted for the Best Personal Loan Rate on Smarter Loans: Here Is What I Found

Smarter.loans is not a lender. They do not actually loan you money. They are a loan comparison website. Think of it like an online shopping mall for loans.

I Called 20 Veterinary Clinics in Canada to Ask About Payment Plans & Here Are the Options They Offered

All clinics I called accept credit cards and debit cards, with eight clinics not accepting Amex due to higher payment processing fees. And 75% of the clinics accept some sort of third-party financing.

I Abused Costco's Generous Food Return Policy & Got Away With It

Despite some accounts I read online, this customer service agent DID ask me what was wrong with them, and I had to quickly make up something to satisfy the question. I muttered something about seasoning and taste. She gave me the look and processed the return.
