GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A new app could save West Michigan shoppers a bundle on their grocery bill while also cutting down on food waste.
It’s calledFlashfood— app developers say their program presents a win-win situation for both consumers and stores alike.
It’s already been rolled out in five greater Grand Rapids-area Family Fare stores. The app allows customers to purchase foods at or near their best buy, sell by dates. Eating foods near or at those dates is completely safe.
By presenting these grocery items at discounts — up to 50 percent off — developers and grocers alike hope to cut down on the food that is being throwing out.
