What I got from Flashfood in February 2024

Posted on February 29, 2024 by stenoodie

My referral code for Flashfood. Their current deal is so great. Buy $10 worth and get $5 back!

Flashfood is a free app that you can use in Greater Toronto Area supermarkets to get a 50% discount off on groceries that are nearing their “best before” dates. I have been using this app since June of last year and have discovered so many great items that we wouldn’t normally buy. We’ve saved a lot of money on grocery shopping too! I’ve been blogging about what we picked from our Flashfood finds.

Here’s what I got on the Flashfood app in February 2024 ($321.49 in total) Continue reading →
