Short answer
Deal Dish is a Flipp alternative built for Canadian groceries. It reads this week’s flyers at 3,500+ stores across 35 banners, builds recipes priced with the sale prices, and puts what you need on one list sorted by aisle. It is free on iPhone, iPad and Android with no ads, and Pro is $3.99 a month.
Pick Deal Dish if you want a cheaper week of groceries: it turns this week’s deals into recipes, a meal plan and a shopping list, which Flipp does not do. Keep Flipp for flyers outside grocery, such as pharmacy and hardware.
Checked in October 2026 against each app’s Canadian App Store listing.
From a sale price to a dinner plan
A flyer tells you chicken thighs are cheap this week. It does not tell you what to make with them or what the rest of the recipe costs.
Deal Dish starts from the same weekly prices at your store. It suggests recipes made from what is on sale, shows what each recipe costs and how much you save, and adds a recipe’s ingredients to a list split by store and sorted by aisle.
One item, every nearby store, cheapest first
Search any grocery item in Deal Dish to see its price at the stores near you, cheapest first, with how much you would save. Comparing prices across nearby stores is free.
When another store’s flyer has the item, Deal Dish shows you that flyer ad so you can ask for a price match at checkout. Flipp supports price matching too, across far more retailers.
What Flipp does well
Flipp has more than 850,000 ratings on the Canadian App Store (October 2026). It carries flyers from grocery, pharmacy, hardware, electronics, pet and home stores, and one search runs across all of them, so it is the quicker way to find out who has paper towels on sale.
It is free and supported by ads. You can clip deals to a shopping list, keep loyalty cards like PC Optimum and Air Miles in the app, and price match at participating stores such as No Frills, Food Basics and FreshCo.
