Note: I haven't used any of these, I can't speak for them. I do think it's cool for the environment and people on a budget though.

I tried Flashflood once. Their process is confusing and ended with a store employee being incredibly rude when it was Flashfood's (and to a lesser extent the store's) fault.

Decent concept in theory, terrible execution in my experience with that specific service. It's so much nicer when the store just slaps a sticker on product already on the shelf and knocks down the price.

For me there's always some places that are better for the products i like and sometimes the selection just sucks for a while. The app says i saved $4648 CAD so far XD
