Amazon Canada Prime Day Deals

Jun 25 | Canada Deals, Frugal Living

Amazon Prime Days are coming! July 8 – 11, 2025 are going to be GREAT for finding deals!

To take advantage of the deals, you have to be a Prime member. BUT! If you haven’t been an Amazon Prime member in the last 12 months, you can sign up for a free 30 day trial!

To sign up for the Amazon Prime free trial:

  1. Go to Amazon Prime.
  2. Select Start your free trial.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions if prompted.

In the mean time, here’s how to get ready for Prime Day:

  • Make sure you’re a Prime member. The best deals will be Prime exclusives. (sign up for a free trial above!)
  • Make a list of things you’re shopping for. Think of birthdays, Christmas, essentials you use every day, and even “want to have” items. This will help you to remember what you’re shopping for and stay in control of your spending.
  • Add items to your Amazon cart that you are hoping go on sale. That way, if they drop in price, you can find them quickly.
  • Bookmark or keep my Amazon Storefront page open all day so you don’t miss a deal. I’ll be updating it many times throughout the four days.
  • Follow me on Instagram and watch my stories for the hottest deals.
  • Alternatively, you can join my Facebook Group, Frugal Finds in Canada, if Facebook is more your thing.
  • On the days of the sale, check out multiple times rather than waiting for a full cart. Many deals sell out quickly.

How to Get 7 Free Audiobooks with Audible & Amazon Music

Jun 21 | Canada Deals, Freebies

7 free audiobooks

7 Free Audiobooks with Audible & Amazon Music

(Note: The links in this post may be affiliate links. Read the disclosure policy here.)

If you love audiobooks, you have to check out these Audible and Amazon Music deals!

Currently, you can get 7 free audiobooks when you sign up for a 4 month free trial of Amazon Music and a 3 month free trial of Audible. That’s a fantastic deal!

With Amazon Music, you can now can get one Audible book per month as part of your monthly Amazon Music subscription. Unlimited subscribers can now enjoy one audiobook per month, including the largest catalogue of audiobooks from Audible, top podcasts and millions of songs ad-free.

Get 7 Free Audiobooks

Yes, you read that right — 7 audiobooks for FREE!

Here’s the deal:

Right now, you can sign up for a 4-month free trial of Amazon Music, which includes one free audiobook each month (you get to pick!). That’s 4 audiobooks to enjoy.

Then, if you’re new to Audible or recently canceled, you can grab a 3-month free trial of Audible when you sign up by July 31. That gives you 3 credits to use on any audiobooks you want — and you keep them forever, even if you cancel.

That’s 7 audiobooks totally free — no strings, no spending. Just be sure to cancel your memberships before the trials are over, unless you intend on continuing your memberships.

Here’s How to Stretch It Out for 7 Months of Free Listening:

  • June to September: Use Amazon Music to stream one audiobook a month (these don’t stay in your library, so listen before the month ends).
  • June to August: Use your Audible credits to grab one book each month and download or pre-order them.
  • October to December: Listen to the Audible books you downloaded earlier.

That’s 7 FREE audiobooks spread across 7 months — smart, frugal, and totally doable.

The Ultimate List of Canadian Made

The Ultimate List of Canadian Made

Want to shop local and support Canadian businesses? You’re in the right place! Buying Canadian made products means getting great quality while helping homegrown brands thrive. Whether you’re after clothing, beauty, home essentials, or food (hello, maple syrup!), this list has you covered.

From well-known brands to hidden gems, here’s your ultimate guide to Canadian made products. Let’s shop local and keep our dollars close to home!

Now, when you’re out and about shopping, I recommend you read labels and do a bit of research. Shopping Canadian can be incredibly nuanced. For example, Lay’s and General Mills are American companies, however, there are production plants in Canada employing Canadians. They also use Canadian ingredients. So my recommendation is to buy how you feel comfortable with what you know.

Here is how to tell if something was made in Canada:

From Vancouversun.com: Anything at the grocery store that is labelled as a ‘product of Canada’ means all of its major ingredients, where it was processed, and the labour used to produce it are Canadian or are located in Canada.

A product labelled “made in Canada” means just that: The item was last processed or had its “last substantial transformation” in Canada but its ingredients may be a mix of both domestic and imported ingredients.

As always, I appreciate your help in adding brands and retailers that I have missed. Canada has so many gems!

I mentioned above that buying Canadian can be incredibly nuanced. I firmly believe that you have to make the best shopping decisions for your family values. This might mean only buying from Canadian owned companies or brands. Or perhaps you feel comfortable buying from an American owned brand/company as long as products are produced in Canada and/or use Canadian ingredients and materials.

Also, it goes without saying, but supporting your local Mom & Pop shops, farmer’s markets and even buying from your neighbour is hugely beneficial.

All that said, here are a couple more places where you can support Canadian via American owned companies:
