Flashfood is a mobile shopping app designed to help users save money on groceries by offering steep discounts on food items that are nearing their sell-by dates but are still perfectly good to eat. Available across many regions in North America, Flashfood partners directly with grocery stores to list surplus products at up to 50% off retail prices. Shoppers can browse deals, reserve items through the app, and pick them up directly from designated Flashfood sections inside participating stores. This not only makes grocery shopping more affordable for consumers but also helps reduce food waste by redirecting food away from landfills.

Functions
