One of my secret spots for scoring deals is closing for good. Electrotech was a supplier of Philips, Cuisinart, Saeco and Bugatti products. Everything is being cleared out at phenomenal prices by September 29th.

You have to work a bit to find Electrotech which is in a small strip of stores on Henri-Bourassa where it meets highway 13. It is a clearance center for Philips, Cuisinart and Saeco, either brand new products or sometimes boxes which might have had  damaged packaging or were liquidated models.

There’s a huge line up of Saeco  coffee machines, Cuisinart and Philips small kitchen appliances (food processors, pasta machines, toaster ovens, blenders, and yes air fryers)  and shavers.

There’s also the line of sleek high end Bugatti kitchenware, cutlery, gift sets and tableware from Italy.

Go there fast because this is a one-time event and it will all be over by September 29.
