With the Flashfood app. They have food for half price at participating grocery stores. Stuff like roast beef and other kinds of sandwiches, Salsa dip or 7 layer dip, mini pizzas, cheese, meat, vegetables, soup, orange juice, yogurt etc. The food usually has a best buy date of the current day or a few days after. You just order as much as you want on your phone and go to the participating grocery store and pick it up. They really have a great variety of food.

Iāll have to check to see if they have that in my area.
Thereās another app called To Good to Go that has a similar premise except itās with to-go food. Only available in major cities right now though.

I used to use it, but the competition for the deals is so fierce now Iām abstaining. The people using the app canāt afford food. I can.

Itās food that is marked ābest buyā or ābest used byā.
- Food Product Dating: In the food industry, ābest buyā or ābest beforeā refers to a date by which a product is expected to be at its peak quality or flavor. This date is not a safety date and doesnāt indicate when the food becomes unsafe to eat. For example, milk might have a ābest buyā date, meaning itās best consumed before that date for optimal quality, but itās still generally safe to consume after that date if refrigerated properly.
They donāt have any participating stores where i live. The app is useless here.
A lot of it is things like cauliflower with a few brown spots you can trim off and turn into a nice soup or roasted vegetable. Or some slightly soft red peppers that still make a fantastic aioli. The food is quite usable for anyone with moderate to advanced kitchen skills.

Loool some of the ads for some of the apps are so bad. Like they market it wrongly.
Itās like āour left over food is your next mealā.
Sounds disgusting tbh lol 
like the old left over stuff that everyoneās touched from your buffet, no thanks. I donāt disagree with the concept overall some companies just word it in a gross way.
I donāt mind shopping for discount stuff myself but Iām very careful as even Walmart has sold me properly pungently rotten meat. Smelled like nothing but eggs. I thought it was a one off thing. So tried it again and boom rotten meat. Companies are really scraping the bottom of the ā ā ā ā barrel these days lol. The discount fruit section at that Walmart too is like all leaking with rotton juices etc. difference between reaching itās date and rotton. I prefer not to let companies make the call on which is which. I think they might be biased 
Sobeys here in Canada is especially bad for this and youād think being a higher priced chain they would not. A friend took a bunch of pics of things she was told to relabel to bump expiry dates forward several times and reported them to the health authorities when she quit. So even the stuff that hasnāt exipred is still suspect with their prepared foods.
I limit buying expired stuff to fresh produce because you can tell with a look and a poke if itās safe. Oh, and yogurt. Thatās it.
