Flashfood Purchases in October 2025

Best Flashfood haul

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?

 Too good to go surprise bags haul

14 surprise bags purchased from Too Good To Go in October 2025

A fun app where you can save food and enjoy food at a third of the price is called Too Good To Go.  I use it on the daily to get groceries, bread items, dairy, meat, and ready-to-eat foods for myself and my family.  Restaurants and stores that have surplus or unsold items post “surprise bags” and consumers can buy it and then pick it up in store at a specific time.  Continue reading

Money-Making Apps: CashWalk Review

CashWalk walking app

CashWalk app homescreen

CashWalk is a reliable walking app that pays you for your steps.  My mom’s friend was the one who recommended it to us over a year ago.  I downloaded it in July 2024 and still use it to this day because it pays fairly well (I log a moderate number of steps and I can get a $5 gift card to Amazon every month).  My husband logs more steps than I do and he can redeem a $5 gift card about every 2 to 3 weeks.  Since using it for a year, we’ve gotten consistent gift card rewards every month!

(My referral code is:  VCU55.  Use it to get 500 coins when you join or click this link.)  Continue reading
