As you might see, we’ve had a multiple spam posts that made it through Reddit and got reposted by the bot. There was no way to determine if a post was spam or not.

To partially alleviate this, I added a ignore list here: https://github.com/poutinetown/reddit-sales-repost-bot/blob/main/ignored.txt

If you want to add something, please make a pull request (very easy with GitHub UI, you can learn here) that only modifies the ignored.txt file by adding a new line, and briefly describe the reasoning.

If you feel a URL has been unjustly added there, please open an issue and I will remove if it makes sense. So far, the URLs were based on the removed posts.

As long as the list is well maintained, the spam will at least not make it to here twice!

Price Matching

Price matching your products can save you a lot of money. Several websites (Memory Express, Future Shop, Best Buy, Staples etc…) give such service.

Mail In Rebates

The date given for a Mail In Rebate is the date the item must be purchased by. It must be postmarked (basically stamped / mailed by Canada Post) within ~30 days[1] from the purchase date.
