I spend too much on my groceries, and I almost never look at the best before dates. Often, I don’t even look at the price, though I’m usually surprised when I have to pay for my weekly shop and it’s more than I expected (or I’ve put a few too many things in my cart again).

However, FlashFood is here to help us shop more consciously and save money at the same time.

Here’s how it works:

1. Download the Flashfood app and start browsing deals immediately. You’ll be able to see your local Real Canadian Superstore and the deals they have on right now.
2. Buy food and products right from your phone, and then head to the store at some point the same day to grab your item from the Flashfood zone (usually by the Customer Service desk).
3. Head to the checkout aisle marked with a “Flashfood” sign or Customer Service desk, and let the cashier know you have Flashfood items, and you’re done.

Plus – that’s right, there’s more! If you use my referral code to download the app, you get $5 credit in your FlashFood account after your first purchase of $0.50 or more.
