No french
Si tu utilises un autre langage dans ton cell, dans mon cas c’est espagnol, l’application se montre en anglais par défaut et tu n’as pas le choix de le changer. Les applications amateurs sont mieux développées. La compagnie a répondu très vite mais sans rien faire. Toutes mes autres apps me laissent choisir la langue.
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.
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
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.
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 !
They double charge and then make me wait for the refund every time
I have used this app 3 times to order food and every time I do they double charge me and then tell me I have to wait two weeks for the refund. So now I have no money in my account because of their mistake, yet I’m the one suffering because of it.
Pictures
Lately there have been no pictures for any of the products
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.
Deleting without using
Not all Sobey's store participate- unfortunately my local store does not(Hanover, ON)
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! New customers can use my referral code louisef109 when signing up to earn $5 after their first completed order. 😊
Nooo
Not worth it for your money! Items are only 1$-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
Great Savings
I’ve used FoodHero for quite a few months now and I like to save money and get good quality cuts of meat at the same time. I recommend this app because you get good deals on food.
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.
Canada only
I’m in Connecticut and the closest available stores appear to be in Quebec
Love Food Hero’s.
Enjoying quality meats at a much lower price point. Great idea!
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
Dernière mis à jour
Bugs erreurs ,on ne peut faire des recherches complètes chez les commerçants 🤷♂️
No pictures
Very annoying that the stores can’t snap a simple picture of the products
Mike
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 $50 bucks, everything half price. Plus I got to choose what I wanted. Well done!!
Misleading
Based on my experience it's just another way to use people with good intention. Big grocery chains lowering price for super expensive produce that still very much expensive. Or if people on smaller budget could afford 50% off on 40$ steak. And who profit ....
Super bon a montreal
Il y a de tout et j'ai sauvé plus de 6200$ a date surtout les repas préparés pour amener au travail, vive mes 2 congélateurs et merci foodhero. 3 bugs dans la nouvelle version alors j'ai retiré une étoile
Photos
Très bonne application pour économiser. Mais depuis deux semaines il y a beaucoup moins de photos.
Excellent
Super bon service!!
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
Slick but predatory
The app is very well designed but FoodHero charges a heavy and almost predatory service fee per transaction. They’re also not transparent about it. They say it’s for lowering food waste but it’s actually to generate profit for themselves. Which is fine, but if you’re going to be predatory, be clear about it.
First time customer
Great experience
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!!
Belle découverte $$$
Ça m’a pris du temps avant de l’essayer et maintenant je l’utilise a chaque semaine. De grande économie sur des bon produits IGA c’est parfait et simple
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
food hero
love this really helps a lot 👍👍👍
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.
INCROYABLE
Ma commander déjà deux fois sur lapp, et c’est super facile et simple à utiliser , I love it!
Waste of time and money
Very disappointed with this misleading service. They show pictures of things that are not actually for sale, and give you a singular version of that. For instance, thought I was getting a rack of ribs based on the description and photo, but no, it was one individual RIB, not rib(s). It’s so freezer burnt that it’s not even going to be edible. I won’t be using this service ever again, and I will be deleting my account. I only used it twice and both times were a disappointment and poor quality. The discounted steaks are mainly fat, hardly any meat and not family size. I will be sending my screenshots and emails with the company to consumer affairs; this is predatory behaviour with false advertising and descriptions and against the law in Canada.
