Surprise Bags from Too Good To Go in February 2024

 Too Good to Go ask a friend to pick up a surprise bag

The new feature on Too Good to Go in February 2024

In February 2024, TGTG introduced a new feature where you can ask a friend to pick up a surprise bag on your behalf!  They can accept the chore or give it back to you too.  I’m sure this new tool is useful for those who want to ask a nearby friend or partner to pick up a surprise bag for them.

(I don’t need to use it because my husband has always been able to pick up my orders from his device, but I’m still glad this feature exists now!)

Here are the 18 Too Good to Go surprise bags I purchased in Continue reading

What I got from Flashfood in February 2024

Flashfood referral code

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 Continue reading
