If you are looking for a simple way to lower your grocery bills, Flashfood is a great way to do it.
Download the app – use my code NADITJA6 to get $5 off your first order of $10 or more.
Once you set up your account, login and look at the stores near you. It’ll be super stores, No Frills or wholesale clubs.
They list soon to expire foods, or things they have an excess of. It can be produce boxes, deli items, meat, bakery goods etc… Anything they normally have in store. But at a huge discount.
When you’re using the app, add what you want to your cart and check out, and then you pick them up at your local store. Once you get to the store, look for the big flash food sign. There’s usually a fridge and a shelving unit, speak to an employee and pick up your items. That’s it.
It’s always different at every store, what you see listed is what you will get. Things can sell out very quickly sometimes, and they keep adding things throughout the day so can keep checking back. I always make sure to check if we need food and I’m near one of the stores, and I’ll even check while I’m at the store doing groceries.
We have had really good luck with it, but if you do end up with something that is no longer good, you can contact them for a refund.
You do need to have a credit card to use the app, but if you don’t have one you could also just use a prepaid credit card.
