The new 8% service fee change on Flashfood, screenshot on January 13, 2026
I’m writing this blog post on a whim upon finding out the new Flashfood service fee because it is appalling, dishonest, and sneaky.
I first started using Flashfood in mid-2023 to buy discounted grocery items at 50% off the retail price because the item was either nearing its “best before date” or the store had surplus stock and needed to sell it. Continue reading →
A glimpse of our 2025
Let me start off with saying what I’ve been telling everyone the latter part of the year… 2025 has been a year of endings, both for lives and relationships.
In 2025, we lost a number of Continue reading →
14 items for $35.41 on Flashfood, making each one only $2.53!
Use the Flashfood app to buy grocery items for 50% off the usual price. This is one of the best hacks to fight against inflation. You browse the item you want in the app, pay for it, and then pick it up in store before the stated “best before” date. We have saved our family so much money by using this app!
The 12 surprise bags from Too Good To Go in December 2025
My most-favourite fun app for saving food from waste is called Too Good To Go. Buy surprise bags full of food that restaurants and stores haven’t sold or made too much of for one third of the retail price! It’s the best way to try new restaurants and food that you might not otherwise buy. Continue reading →
Loading screen of the game
I love playing these screw puzzle games. You are presented with different items, like a block or house, car, animal, etc., and you have to unscrew the screws from the item one by one to put into its corresponding colour box. The level is passed when all of the screws have been placed into their colour box. It’s an addicting game to me because the puzzles are so creative and challenging.
I’ve played two other screw games prior to this and I thought the one I played before called Screwdom was fantastic already but this one, Screw Out 3D, is even better!! I take joy in every level and loveeeee seeing what the designers came up with. The puzzles are so unique and creative!! I especially love the puzzles that have hidden layers (like how a wintry house had penguins hiding in it). Continue reading →
Screenshot of the game at level 47
I started playing Goblins Wood: Tycoon Idle Sim because it was one of the games on AttaPoll (an app that plays you for playing games and completing surveys). I’ve been playing many games on my phone this year because of AttaPoll and getting paid for it, but this is the first one that I’m reviewing in a blog post.
(You can use my referral code PBZQF to get $0.50 for free when you download the app.) Continue reading →
Look at this beautiful produce box for $6 from Flashfood!
I bought a ton of stuff from Flashfood this month — more than usual! Lots of groceries but lots of household staples too like toilet paper and items I needed for a 60-person party!
Flashfood is what I use to offset my family’s budget by purchasing things that stores can’t sell (either they’re nearing the “best before date” or because they have an excess of inventory they want to eliminate from the store). Enzo’s provided that for me this month — nothing was short-dated; they simply wanted to remove things from their store as they were changing ownership. ^_^

The 5 surprise bags I got in November 2025
You can save food from going to waste by using an app called Too Good To Go. It’s a free app that anyone can download. Restaurants or stores will put together “surprise bag” of items that they weren’t able to sell and post it on the app for a third of the price. Continue reading →
Screenshot of Caddle
Caddle is a free app that you can download on your phone where you can make money from completing 5 cent surveys (takes like 20 seconds), scanning receipts, and writing reviews of products you’ve tried. I actually use this app primarily for receipt-uploading and the daily 5 cent surveys. They’re so easy to do! Continue reading →
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? Continue reading →
