Flashfood is a mobile application that helps users save money on groceries by purchasing surplus food items from local grocery stores at discounted prices. Users can browse available deals, select items they wish to buy, and pick them up in-store. The app promotes environmental sustainability by reducing food waste through selling items nearing their expiration date but still suitable for consumption. It's an effective way to save money while contributing to waste reduction.

Flashfood is mainly available in select regions across North America. To determine if it's available near you, download the app and enable location services to see nearby participating stores. Alternatively, visit their website and enter your zip code or city to check for local stores. Availability is expanding, so it's advisable to check regularly if it’s not yet in your area.

Payments are made directly within the app using a credit or debit card. After selecting your items, you will be prompted to enter your payment details. The app ensures secure transactions, and a digital receipt is provided after successful payment. For any payment issues, customer support is available to assist.

Since most sales are final due to the discounted nature of items nearing their expiration, returns and refunds are generally not available. However, if you receive a wrong item or find the food inedible, contact Flashfood’s customer support. They will review your case and may offer a refund or store credit depending on the circumstances.

Flashfood features a variety of perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meats that are close to their sell-by date. You may also find baked goods, packaged snacks, and other grocery products. The selection varies based on store inventory and is frequently updated, so checking regularly increases your chances of finding good deals.
