The 12 surprise bags from Too Good To Go in December 2025

My most-favourite fun app for saving food from waste is called Too Good To Go.  Buy surprise bags full of food that restaurants and stores haven’t sold or made too much of for one third of the retail price!  It’s the best way to try new restaurants and food that you might not otherwise buy.  Continue reading

Best screw game: Screw Out 3D

Screw Out 3D screenshot

Loading screen of the game

I love playing these screw puzzle games.  You are presented with different items, like a block or house, car, animal, etc., and you have to unscrew the screws from the item one by one to put into its corresponding colour box.  The level is passed when all of the screws have been placed into their colour box.  It’s an addicting game to me because the puzzles are so creative and challenging.

I’ve played two other screw games prior to this and I thought the one I played before called Screwdom was fantastic already but this one, Screw Out 3D, is even better!!  I take joy in every level and loveeeee seeing what the designers came up with.  The puzzles are so unique and creative!!  I especially love the puzzles that have hidden layers (like how a wintry house had penguins hiding in it).  Continue reading

Screenshot of the game at level 47

I started playing Goblins Wood:  Tycoon Idle Sim because it was one of the games on AttaPoll (an app that plays you for playing games and completing surveys).  I’ve been playing many games on my phone this year because of AttaPoll and getting paid for it, but this is the first one that I’m reviewing in a blog post.

(You can use my referral code PBZQF to get $0.50 for free when you download the app.)  Continue reading

Flashfood Purchases in November 2025

 Produce box from Flashfood

Look at this beautiful produce box for $6 from Flashfood!

I bought a ton of stuff from Flashfood this month — more than usual!  Lots of groceries but lots of household staples too like toilet paper and items I needed for a 60-person party!

Flashfood is what I use to offset my family’s budget by purchasing things that stores can’t sell (either they’re nearing the “best before date” or because they have an excess of inventory they want to eliminate from the store).  Enzo’s provided that for me this month — nothing was short-dated; they simply wanted to remove things from their store as they were changing ownership. ^_^

Use my referral code KARE4PEFC  to get $5 off your first purchase of $7+.  Continue reading

Flashfood Purchases in October 2025

Best Flashfood haul

Best Flashfood haul this month! Each item worked out to $1.61 on average! :O

Use the Flashfood app to save money on your everyday purchases!  Participating supermarket will upload photos of items that are nearing their “best before” dates or items they can’t sell for 50% of the original price.  Why buy at the inflated supermarket prices when you can get relatively good quality items for half of the price?
