It really does save you money.
FoodHero has saved my family hundreds of dollars, which is especially valuable right now. Plus, I am helping to stop food waste, which is important to me. Very thankful for this app.
Double charged… again.
I was double charged for an order about 2 months ago. Never refunded. Reluctantly ordered again for my mom…. Double charged for a 45$ order. Again. I would find other resources if I were any of you.
Un allié pour le budget familial
Une app qui permet de faire des grosses économies tout en réduisant le gaspillage alimentaire ! Merci beaucoup pour ce concept qui est d’une grande aide pour les familles du Québec !
New app users save $5! 🎉
This is SUCH a useful app for finding discounted groceries and helping reduce food waste at the same time. I’ve picked up some great deals from Sobeys and Safeway, especially on meat. The food has always been perfectly good!

Spoiled food
It’s really hit and miss. Some items are ok but I’d say I’ve thrown out about 1/3 of the food I’ve bought because it was spoiled and smelled rotten. When buying the meat consider there’s a 30% chance you will throw it away. Also don’t forget to take their fees into account. All in all I’ve found it was more cost effective to buy it when it’s on sale and freeze it myself.

Love Food Hero’s.
Enjoying quality meats at a much lower price point. Great idea!
Nooo
Not worth it for your money! Items are only 1$-2 difference from the real fresh items, the item are frozen and some bakery items are expired plus there is a seevice fee so i dont think you get a deal on this
Services Charge
They only have a certain amount of groceries available at a certain time and usually it’s multiple of the same thing. So if you only want to buy one thing the service charge makes is almost the same price as the regular not old/rotten option. If you are not getting 5+ items (which is usually not an option) it’s not worth it. You’re basically giving them a $2 tip for giving you a lower quality food

Give it a try and you will save
I start using this app for a couple of months now, here in Edmonton AB, and overall I am happy with the meat products I was getting, especially chicken, lamb, pork. I cooked diferent meals and no change in taste as compared with the fresh product.
But was dissapointed by the fish, halibut, rockfish, wild cod, that I tried, it did not look fresh and it had a smell, package was perfect, came frozen. I trew these away, and will not buy again. I would discontinue seafood&fish from this program because it is not safe to eat anymore.
Found the app easy to use, although a couple of times got a glitch and had to delete, reinstall and sign in again.
Foodhero People at the store (Bonnie Doon, Capilano,Garneau Safeways) are very polite and showed up really fast. Everything was clean, meat was kept packaged. You just need to ask customer service to call them upon arrival.
And last but not least, I contacted the customer service and I was impressed how professional and polite, yet personable response I’ve got from them. Kudos!
Overall this was a great experience, big savings on my meals budget and I recommend trying Foodhero.

Misleading
Based on my experience it's just another way to use people with good intention. Big grocery chains lowering price for super expensive produce that still very much expensive. Or if people on smaller budget could afford 50% off on 40$ steak. And who profit ....
Pictures
Lately there have been no pictures for any of the products
Service fees
My first few orders there was no service fee. All of a sudden there are services charges of $1.79. This is not clearly stated ahead of time. I am deleting the app
poor selection, hefty fees
There’s only a handful of items displayed each day and I didn’t even notice the first couple of times that there is $1.79 fee on top of each order: wouldn’t be unreasonable except there’s so little to choose from, most orders are $5-10… and don’t forget we have to pay taxes for these “services” (which are ordinarily included in the cost of food items!!)
Maybe “fee” should be a percentage of the order? that would be far more reasonable!!

Big corporate greed
For the stores that charge service fee. The 1.79 service fee plus tax is just corporate greed, they should be happy people are willing to buy almost expired food rather than having to throw it out, a .50 would still be too much but acceptable
Additional charges and HST
Not really much of a savings when you add in handling charges and HST which I thought was not charged on food.Will probably not use this app anymore because of this

Unreal app!!! I just got 4 steaks, a full chicken, pork shoulder and pork chops that will feed my family easily for more than a week for $50 bucks, everything half price. Plus I got to choose what I wanted. Well done!!
Crazy service fee
App charges a service fee that is often 50% of the item cost making it less expensive to just buy things fresh. Try other apps.
Excellent
Super bon service!!
Good idea, but execution is meh
If you have the filter “vegetarian” and “lactose free” it would nice if at least ONE shop or item would show up. After I extended the radius to 40 miles and still NOTHING was showing, I deleted the app.
Purchased items not available
I have purchased items a few times. It’s a hassle for pickup because someone has to bring the items from the back. Today I made a purchase and when I went for pickup, most of my items “weren’t available”. This was a waste of time. I don’t think it’s worth it if it’s unreliable.
