How one FoodHero user saved $10,000

Imagine saving over $10,000 on your grocery bill in one year, without compromising on quality or the pleasure of eating well. That's precisely what Josée Goupil, a loyal FoodHero user, has achieved by adopting a simple but effective strategy: buying food intelligently at a discount thanks to our application.

Her tip for maximizing savings

Every day, Josée checks FoodHero at 10 a.m. to discover new offers at her participating local grocery stores. This routine allows her to take advantage of the best discounts on a wide variety of products, from yoghurt and meats to eggs and cheeses.

Quality meals at low prices

Despite the rising cost of living, Josée and her family eat just as well, if not better! She explains that every meal is “a little party” - the pleasure of the table remains at the heart of her daily routine but with $10,323 more in her bank account.

Her impact explained

With close to 300 kilograms of CO2 and over 1500 kilograms in weight diverted from landfill, Josée's impact is roughly equal to:

• Flying about 2,400 km in economy class, like a one-way flight from Montreal to Miami.
• Charging a smartphone about 36,000 times, or roughly 8 years of daily charging
• The weight of an average male giraffe
• A small car, like a Toyota Corolla
• 3750 loaves of bread, assuming each loaf weighs 400g

A community that fights food waste while reducing costs

Josée is not alone. Other users like Francis and Claudine have also managed to save thousands of dollars by adopting similar habits. FoodHero makes it possible for everyone to reduce their budget while contributing to the fight against food waste.
