Surplus food apps can save you big money on groceries

Millions of dollars of food are thrown away every month by stores and restaurants. Some new apps can find stores and bakeries near you, where you can buy surplus food for pennies on the dollar.

Note: I haven’t used any of these, I can’t speak for them. I do think it’s cool for the environment and people on a budget though.

    I tried Flashflood once. Their process is confusing and ended with a store employee being incredibly rude when it was Flashfood’s (and to a lesser extent the store’s) fault.

    Decent concept in theory, terrible execution in my experience with that specific service. It’s so much nicer when the store just slaps a sticker on product already on the shelf and knocks down the price.

      For me there’s always some places that are better for the products i like and sometimes the selection just sucks for a while. The app says i saved $4648 CAD so far XD
