I think there are enough of us to make a space for questions, deals, referrals, whatever (since our stuff is almost always different)

Mabelās labels, which every school has a fundraising code for, has a sale on
It includes the clothing stamp which @star vouches for and looks easier than labels.
I donāt have the stamp yet, but the labels are much better than the non custom oneās Iāve tried

Anyone using Checkout 51? Is it worth the hassle of another app?

As a mom who sends two kids to camp every summer and has to label every sock, I looooove and highly recommend the stamp.
I stamp the socks / undies with it, and all the tagless shirts. Iāve stopped buying the tagmates even for the clothes that have tags because the stamp is so much faster.
Last years camp socks still have the names on them.
Mabelās labels are by far my favourite, and they started off as a small woman owned company in Hamilton (I think still woman owned, but not small any longer)

I tried and gave up. It should be easy. It didnāt work for my brain

I use it. I donāt get many items from their lists but it has been nice to get cheques back because I was buying something. You can cash out at $20 so it can take some time.

I am looking for a bank to stash a fairly liquid āemergency fund.ā We used to use Tangerine, but their āhigh interestā account is only 0.70% now, unless you manage to get an offer, but even those are only on new deposits and this would be a dump it in and leave it unless catastrophe situation. Iād like to be able to get my hands on it within about 2 days or less if it was needed

What are your credit unions like? Mine has a savings account with 4 or 5%

do you have any credit unions available through work? I did a deep dive about a month ago when I was very annoyed at Tangerine. There was a credit union with two locations in Bloor West with a decent rate, but the technology might not be friendly.
EQ is a straightforward 2.5% covered by CDIC (I might have a referral code)
There is this weird thing called cash.to which pays out around 4.5% - itās not CDIC, but it invests in CDIC? Reddit loves it.
WealthSimple has a cash product at 4%. Again, isnāt directly CDIC, but it is indirectly. They are also running a promo atm based on how much money you move over.
Oh, Canadian Tireās Triangle account maybe? 3.7% atm

The only thing is it is not easy to sign up and I donāt know how fast you can transfer in/out of it.
I have stuff stashed in EQ, easy access if needed. I have a referral link for it pj doesnāt find hers.

Yup - so based on my insider information- 67-108 days to be able to fund the account based on identification Verification.

Hello from Quebec! I am also looking for a new high interest savings account. Iām currently with Tangerine on a promotion that will end at the end of the month. I think about going with Wealthsimple Cash, but I have Wealthsimple save now and it used to be a great interest rate (which is why I opened the account) but the interest just went down and down during the pandemic and never went back up. I donāt want to relive the same thing if I open a Cash account.
I write all this but I will probably open a Cash account in June tho. LOL. I havenāt find a better interest rate, not temporary, available in Quebec.

I tried Checkout51, but didnāt do well with it. I make everything from scratch so not many opportunities for savings. It was more hassle than it was worth.
