New to Canada? Not sure how to account for the crippling inflation? Not that we can offer big-budget solutions to help tackle these problems, but we sure can help you make the most of certain sign-up discounts that Canadian brands have to offer on your first purchases.
From groceries to apparel, some high-profile brands across the country offer discounts and exclusive benefits for first-time subscribers to their membership programs.
Some brands won't even charge you a sign-up fee, and all you'll need is a working email and phone to subscribe. We even created accounts on all these websites/apps to test out how legit these discounts are.
So, if you're a new Canadian and want a taste of some discounted products and/or services on offer, here are four brands that are giving first-time subscribers a real bang for their buck.
