Flashfood: Grocery Deals 4+

So, we live in a small area and there are only two stores within a few hour drive from us that have this app (kink one). The one we use is about 14 miles from our house. That being said, you can imagine that the inventory is very limited (kink two). I searched other areas and there a many more stores and foods to choose from in larger cities/areas. This is also so new in our area that the store employees still aren’t 100% sure how to operate the system (kink three). But, we have bought a few boxes so far and have been pretty happy. It would help if some contents were listed. Like if it’s an ENTIRE box of lettuce rather than just lettuce on top, that would be nice to know (kink four, but our rabbits are happy!) So far the fruit has been in great shape and the process is pretty simple. My kids say these are the best oranges they’ve ever had. I have six children, so buying large boxes of mixed fruit is perfect, but if we weren’t such a big family, this might be too much to eat in a week or two. If you like to do canning or have animals that will eat the extras, it’s a great deal!

Thank you for your feedback. Whenever there is a new Flashfood partner on the block, it takes a store some time to adjust to our platform and process but they are all working extremely hard to help reduce food waste. We are currently working to expand Flashfood to more stores in smaller cities so stay tuned!

We love this app! It has saved us a lot of money on our grocery bill and it’s a good feeling to know that the food isn’t going to go to waste. DEVS- by way of suggestion, please allow the grocery store interface to show the same thing the customer sees (original price of item specifically). I’ve had instances where I’ve bought an item priced by weight and there has been other remaining items of the same kind and I have not received the item that I paid for. For quick example- a whole chicken. It may not seem like much, but to someone on a budget- especially in this economy- every dollar counts. I also don’t want to take what someone else has purchased. I’ve also noticed annoyance and even some bad attitudes with the grocery employees when I have (kindly) insisted upon my specific item. They’re busy, I’m busy- it would make things a lot easier if the interfaces mirrored each other more. Thank you!

Hi there, thank you for the review and suggestion! We have noted it for our Product team. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at contact@flashfood.com if you face any such issues in the future.

We are fairly new in using this app. We have had very good success.
However, over the weekend, we purchased a listing described as “Navel Oranges 72 Ct”, with a picture of a huge stack of oranges. Every other purchase has been as pictured on the app. When picking up the merchandise, we were told the package was for 10 oranges. We requested a refund….was told to apply to the app. Not being aware of how successful that would be, we opted to take the smaller number of oranges.
Mid afternoon yesterday, I sent an inquiry asking how we should have handled the transaction. Today, we received a very nice response, and, a credit for the full purchase price. It was stated that they would be addressing the matter with their team and the team at the store.
So, a very prompt response and a courteous conclusion. We would highly recommend this app, and, hope more stores will participate.

We would like to thank you for using our online shopping platform! Please contact our customer care at contact@flashfood.com so they can help solve this issue.
