How to Read Weekly Flyers Like a Reseller

1 min read · Sourcing in Canada

Weekly flyers show more than front-page deals. Here is how resellers use them.

Look past page one

Front-page deals are known to everyone. Clearance lines and "while quantities last" items sit deeper in.

What to note

Model numbers, not just product names
Sale dates
Limits and "in-store only" notes
Regional differences

Use your postal code

Flyers vary by region. Set the right location or the price may not apply to your store.

Turn it into a plan

Collect candidates midweek when new flyers land, check the selling price, and add winners to a buy list.

General information for resellers, not financial, tax or legal advice. Marketplace fees and policies change; check the current rules before you buy.

Find clearance deals without checking every store yourself

Retail Arbitrage Canada scans Canadian store clearance pages, flyers and deal forums and shows the brand-name items that clear your profit and ROI rules.
