BLOG NEWS: Interviewed by CBC National Radio – Websites that promise deals and bargains galore


I was recently interviewed by Tracy Fuller, a producer from CBC’s National Radio show called Cost of Living.

We walked around a nearby mall together and talked about deals and I shared some of my best Black Friday tips. Check it out!

Here’s a direct link to my segment. It’s a little over 9 minutes long. Click the play button on the next page to listen. Enjoy!

I would like to thank you for continuing to read my blogs. I started blogging about deals back in 2010 as a fun side hobby and it blossomed into a full-time career! I love what I do and it’s all thanks to you.
