What I got from the Flashfood app in September 2023

 Flashfood grocery haul

What a loaded haul! All of this for just under $30!

Flashfood’s newest logo in January 2024

New year, new look for Flashfood!

Flashfood unveiled their newest logo for their discounted food service (buying items about to pass its “best before date” at savings of 50% off).  I liked their previous logo with the lightning symbol and groceries.  This one doesn’t look so unique (it blends into the other icons on my phone).  Some people say it looks like a Continue reading
