About
A friend with great taste and a spreadsheet.
Sabrage is a Canadian shopping publication for people who know exactly what they want, and see no reason to pay full price for it.
Canadian outlets give you lists. American outlets give you judgment, in American prices, from retailers that may not ship here. Sabrage offers judgment for Canada: a short list of sales in style, beauty and home tech, each with a clear verdict on whether to buy now, wait, or keep watching.
01Who it’s for
- Canadians who want the good thing, and would rather pay 40% less for it.
- Anyone with a wishlist at Simons, SSENSE, Aritzia, Mejuri or Sephora, and the patience to wait for the right week.
- Households weighing a Dyson, an espresso machine or a very good television, who want to know whether this is the real low.
- Anyone who’d rather be told “wait” than be sold something.
02Who it isn’t for
Coupon stackers, freebie hunters and price-error chasers are already well looked after elsewhere in Canada. So is anyone in search of the cheapest version of a thing, whatever the quality. We don’t run a test lab: we judge the price and the timing, and defer to others for deep product testing.
03Who makes it
Sabrage is edited by Nicolle Weeks, in Canada. Every price we quote is opened on the retailer’s own page and stamped with the date. There is no invented staff here, and nothing runs under a made-up byline.
How a sale earns its place, and how we are paid, is set out in How we pick.
04The name
Sabrage (sa-BRAHZH) is the art of opening a bottle of champagne with a sabre: one clean stroke, a little ceremony, and the good stuff is yours.
We like our prices the same way: cut cleanly, by someone who knows precisely where to strike.
05Privacy
Two things to know. Our typefaces are served by Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google to load them. And if you follow a paid link, the retailer or its affiliate network may set its own cookie so the sale can be credited.
