RedFlagDeals.com is turning nine years old today!

For those who don't know the history of the site, it was nine years ago today that a high school student who loved deals, Derek Szeto, posted the first deal to the site and launched RedFlagDeals.com! For the first few months it was only a few of Derek's friends and family who visited the site, but nine years later, there are significantly more people who share in Derek's passion every month. Over the past 30 days, over 2.3 million unique visitors have come to RedFlagDeals.com and they've consumed over 35 million pages looking for deals... and the holiday shopping season hasn't even fully begun!

Derek and all of the staff at the RedFlagDeals.com HQ want to thank you for making this the best online community in Canada! Here's to many more years of deals, coupons, and freebies!

Here's how the site looked in 2001, 2005, and 2006.
