Grocery that stays useful after week one

Local flyers, a watch after your first price check, Maple Coach on your money screens, two quiet weekly notes, and a faster path to Safe-to-Spend.

MapleTrack now gets you from a postal area to a real grocery save, then to Safe-to-Spend, without a bank login. Maple Coach will tell you whether the week still fits.

This week's groceries

• This week's deals (/this-week) lists flyer prices that beat the Statistics Canada average near you. Every card cites its flyer.
• After you run Deal Check, we offer Price Watch. It is free, uses no Maples, and emails you when a flyer beats your bar. That is why we ask for a postal area.
• Build a shopping list (/grocery-saver) from those deals, plan dinners from this week's protein, and check unit price so a smaller pack does not hide as a bargain.
• Coupon Matcher is the Pro grocery extra: stack a live coupon on the flyer price, then confirm it on the receipt. Matching is not AI, and we only show a dollar figure the issuer actually stated.

Faster Safe-to-Spend

• First week needs a paycheque and rent. Postal area unlocks flyers; it does not block the number.
• New households get 2 extra Maples for 7 days on top of the usual allowance (5, 30, or 100). The monthly ladder is unchanged.
• Skip setup and the hero is labelled as an Ontario demo, not as your number.

Maple Coach

• On a computer, Ask Maple Coach sits in the corner of your money pages. The same thread is on Maple Coach (/maple-coach). On the phone, open it from More.
• Every plan. 1 Maple per answer. The first-week extra Maples work here too.
• It reads household totals (Safe-to-Spend, income, bills), not line items or account numbers. It suggests a move. It does not change a bill, a budget, or a transfer.
• On the dashboard and this week's deals, a starter question is ready. It will not invent a flyer price.

Household money

• A benefit calendar (/calendar) for CCB, the Canada Grocery Rebate, and Ontario Trillium Benefit, using amounts you enter.
• Shared lists and dinner plans name who added what.

Two notes a week, not a firehose

• Thursday: local flyer deals.
• Sunday: your Safe-to-Spend for the week.
• The daily tip stays on the dashboard. We do not push it.

French and trust

• Coach, Quebec store names, deals email, and Quebec pages read as French, including Pharmaprix.
• We never ask for your bank password. Help is at Support (/support).

Security

• Confirm your email before you can use the household.
• Account → Security now lists the browsers and phones signed in to your account. Sign one out, or all of them. You re-enter your password first.
• Removing a household member also asks for your password.
• Download a full copy of this household from Account. Receipt image links expire after 7 days.

L’épicerie utile après la première semaine

Circulaires locales, une alerte après la première vérif de prix, le Coach Maple sur vos écrans d’argent, deux notes par semaine, et un Solde sécuritaire plus vite.

MapleTrack vous mène d’un secteur postal à une vraie économie d’épicerie, puis au Solde sécuritaire, sans mot de passe bancaire. Le Coach Maple vous dit si la semaine tient encore.

L’épicerie de la semaine

• Les aubaines de la semaine (/this-week) listent les prix de circulaire sous la moyenne de Statistique Canada près de chez vous. Chaque carte cite sa circulaire.
• Après une vérif de prix, nous proposons Alerte prix. C’est gratuit, ça n’utilise aucun Maple, et nous vous écrivons quand une circulaire bat votre seuil. C’est pour cela que nous demandons un secteur postal.
• Bâtissez une liste d’achats (/grocery-saver) à partir de ces aubaines, planifiez des soupers avec les protéines de la semaine, et comparez le prix unitaire pour qu’un format plus petit ne se fasse pas passer pour une aubaine.
• Le jumelage de coupons est l’extra Pro : empilez un coupon en vigueur sur le prix de circulaire, puis confirmez-le sur le reçu. Ce n’est pas de l’IA, et un montant n’apparaît que si l’émetteur l’a indiqué.

Un Solde sécuritaire plus vite

• La première semaine, il faut une paie et le loyer. Le secteur postal ouvre les circulaires; il ne bloque pas le chiffre.
• Les nouveaux ménages reçoivent 2 Maples de plus pendant 7 jours, en plus de l’allocation habituelle (5, 30 ou 100). L’échelle mensuelle ne change pas.
• Si vous sautez le réglage, le chiffre du tableau de bord est un exemple ontarien, pas le vôtre.

Coach Maple

• Sur un ordinateur, Demander au Coach reste dans le coin de vos pages d’argent. Le même fil est sur Coach Maple (/maple-coach). Sur le téléphone, ouvrez-le depuis Plus.
• Sur tous les forfaits. 1 Maple par réponse. Les Maples de la première semaine comptent ici aussi.
• Il lit les totaux du ménage (Solde sécuritaire, revenus, factures), pas les lignes ni les numéros de compte. Il propose un geste. Il ne change pas une facture, un budget ou un virement.
• Sur le tableau de bord et les aubaines de la semaine, une question de départ est prête. Il n’invente pas un prix de circulaire.

L’argent du ménage

• Un calendrier des prestations (/calendar) pour l’ACE, le remboursement pour l’épicerie et la Prestation Trillium de l’Ontario, avec les montants que vous inscrivez.
• Les listes et les soupers partagés indiquent qui a ajouté quoi.

Deux notes par semaine, pas un déluge

• Jeudi : les aubaines de circulaire près de chez vous.
• Dimanche : votre Solde sécuritaire de la semaine.
• Le conseil du jour reste sur le tableau de bord. Nous ne l’envoyons pas.

Français et confiance

• Le Coach, les enseignes du Québec, le courriel d’aubaines et les pages québécoises sont en français, y compris Pharmaprix.
• Nous ne demandons jamais le mot de passe de votre banque. L’aide est à Soutien (/support).

Sécurité

• Confirmez votre courriel avant d’utiliser le ménage.
• Compte → Sécurité affiche les navigateurs et téléphones connectés à votre compte. Déconnectez-en un, ou tous. Vous saisissez d’abord votre mot de passe.
• Retirer un membre du ménage demande aussi votre mot de passe.
• Téléchargez une copie complète de ce ménage depuis Compte. Les liens des images de reçus expirent après 7 jours.

Flyers across Quebec. The first of these expires Aug 19, so the window is short.

Disclosure: I build MapleTrack, a Canadian personal finance app, and it runs this comparison automatically for your own postal area alongside GST/HST/PST/QST math and cash-flow tracking.
