It seems too good to be true, what’s the catch? 🦄

There’s no catch! Grocers are working hard to reduce waste. By partnering with Flashfood, they’re able to sell food nearing its best by date faster and more reliably because of our passionate Flashfoodies. For the grocer, that means reducing waste. For our shoppers, that means a steady stream of deals. A real win-win! To date, our 2 million plus users have helped get over 20 million pounds of delicious food to dinner tables—instead of landfills.

THE BIGGEST REASON OF ALL 🌎
Just in case the sheer joy of a great meal at a killer price isn’t enough—shopping with Flashfood means you’re directly helping to reduce food waste in your community.

30-40% of food in the US gets wasted and it’s the biggest category of material placed in municipal landfills in America. When good food gets sent to a landfill, it decomposes and emits methane gas—a greenhouse gas even more brutal than carbon dioxide. That’s why we’re here. Who knew service to the planet could also be delicious?

Ratings and reviews

Great way to get some good deals. I wish they'd expand to more stores in our area. The odd thing is although they only work with one chain in our area they don't work with all the locations. Update: Flashfood has no NoVA availability! Well, that didn't last long. Offerings at the single chain have gone down every week, and now they have absolutely no options in my area. Great while it lasted, but I only used it about 4 times. Deleted.

Great app to get excellent deals and help prevent food waste. My favorite is the fruit and veggie boxes! The only problem that I have had is purchasing an item, and it is no longer available when I go to pick it up. I tried getting a refund from Flashfood and never got reimbursed. Check to see if they have the items before purchasing!

Great way to save money on groceries. My only suggestion would be to add a breif description of any damage to the package. Last time i ordered taco shells and the box was pretty crushed. I was able to salvage most of them but if i knew before that the box was that damaged i probably would not have purchased. Other than that i do like the savings!

What's new

We’ve fixed some minor bugs and made some small improvements on this release so that you can keep saving money (which is awesome) and reducing food waste (the planet thanks you).
