The RedFlagDeals.com Office - A Bargain Hunters Tour
Today is the one year anniversary of RedFlagDeals.com moving into our current office, so I thought I would give you the Bargain Hunters Guided Tour. Our office is towards the west end of Toronto in a retrofitted industrial space (hence cheaper rent). It’s around 1300 square feet and we usually have 6-8 people in the office.

On the left you’ll see Derek’s desk (mine is on the other side), he has had it all through university so the cost to us: $0
To the right are four desks where most of the PriceCanada.com work is done. Two of the desks are from IKEA and cost about $60, the other two desks were bought at an Office Depot clearance sale for $29 each, we have four of these in total and Derek often laments not buying the remaining stock when he had the chance. Great deal! All of the office chairs here are from Sam’s Club and cost $50 each, which as office chairs go, is pretty cheap. In the far right corner you’ll see a server rack that we got for free. It holds our telephone system and a file server. The actual site is hosted at another location.

Much of furniture and desks you see in this picture and the first picture was purchased for $500 from a friend of ours when he was moving offices. For $500 we got 3 desks, 3 chairs, 12 tables, several whiteboards, 7 CRT monitors, and some other miscellaneous furniture and computer components that we donated to charity. It was quite the haul, literally and figuratively!
Speaking of computers, nearly every computer in our office is a $299 Dell from past sales. The monitors and LCDs were either bought during a Days of Deals sale or from the RedFlagDeals.com BST. 
Also in this picture our Pinball machine (free courtesy of one of our employee’s wives who didn’t want it in her basement anymore 
), a plastic tree free from our old office, and many cases of bottled water that was bought on sale from No Frills.

The RedFlagDeals.com office is always stacked with snacks. This week, as with every week, we have whatever is currently on sale at the Dominion across the street. Also in this picture is our coat rack. Can you guess how much we paid for it? Yup, it was free too!
Thus concludes the Bargain Hunter’s Tour of the RedFlagDeals.com office. As you can see, we don’t just talk about deals, we live them!
