A Flashfood fridge as seen at No Frills at Yonge and 16th in Richmond Hill

Flashfood is a great way of getting discounted food in a flash!  You download the app to check your local participating grocery stores.  Every day, they will upload actual or stock photos of items that are nearing their “best before” dates and you can buy them at 50% off their original price.  This means that the consumer gets to save money on food that is still perfectly edible and everyone as a whole gets to divert food from going to waste.  It’s a win-win for everybody! ^_^

This was my second month of using Flashfood.  You can use my referral code “KARE4PEFC”.  If your first purchase is over $10, then we’ll both get $5 in rewards!

I don’t know, do people like looking at these?  Lol.  In any case, here’s what I bought from Flashfood in July 2023:
