Screenshot of the game at level 47
I started playing Goblins Wood: Tycoon Idle Sim because it was one of the games on AttaPoll (an app that plays you for playing games and completing surveys). I’ve been playing many games on my phone this year because of AttaPoll and getting paid for it, but this is the first one that I’m reviewing in a blog post.

Look at this beautiful produce box for $6 from Flashfood!
I bought a ton of stuff from Flashfood this month — more than usual! Lots of groceries but lots of household staples too like toilet paper and items I needed for a 60-person party!
Flashfood is what I use to offset my family’s budget by purchasing things that stores can’t sell (either they’re nearing the “best before date” or because they have an excess of inventory they want to eliminate from the store). Enzo’s provided that for me this month — nothing was short-dated; they simply wanted to remove things from their store as they were changing ownership. ^_^

Best Flashfood haul this month! Each item worked out to $1.61 on average! :O
Use the Flashfood app to save money on your everyday purchases! Participating supermarket will upload photos of items that are nearing their “best before” dates or items they can’t sell for 50% of the original price. Why buy at the inflated supermarket prices when you can get relatively good quality items for half of the price? Continue reading
