How it works

Three simple steps from signup to your first box.

Pick your box size

Choose small, medium, or family. Set any dietary exclusions and pick delivery or neighbourhood pickup.

We pack it fresh

Our team collects quality surplus from local grocers, checks every item for safety and dates, and packs your box.

Enjoy every week

Your box arrives with a full summary — contents, best-by dates, allergens, and storage tips. Skip or pause any time.

What’s inside the box

Every box is different — that’s part of the fun. But you’ll always find a mix of real groceries from stores you know.

  • Fresh produce
  • Dairy & eggs
  • Bakery items
  • Pantry staples
  • Snacks & drinks
  • Seasonal picks

Set preferences and exclusions (vegetarian, nut-free, dairy-free) and we’ll do our best to match. Every item comes with full date and allergen info.

Common questions

What does "near-expiry" mean? Is the food still good?+

Near-expiry means the products are approaching the retailer's best-by or sell-by date — not that they're expired. Every item we include is unopened, properly stored, and reviewed before packing. You receive full date information so you can plan meals accordingly.

Can I set dietary restrictions or preferences?+

Yes. When you subscribe, you can exclude categories like dairy, nuts, gluten, or meat. We do our best to match your preferences with available supply. Because contents vary week to week, we can't guarantee exact items — but your exclusions are always respected.

How does delivery and pickup work?+

We deliver within our local service area on a set day each week. You can also choose neighbourhood pickup from a designated local point during a scheduled window. Switch between the two any time before your next box.

What if I need to skip a week?+

No problem. Skip, pause, or cancel your subscription any time before your next fulfillment date. There are no penalties or lock-in contracts.

How do I know what's in my box before it arrives?+

We send a box summary before delivery or pickup. It lists confirmed contents, best-by dates, allergen information, and storage tips. If anything needs your attention, we'll let you know with enough time to adjust.

What happens if something in my box isn't right?+

Contact us and we'll review it. Depending on the situation, we can offer a credit, replacement item in your next box, or a partial refund. We want every box to be worth your trust.

Good food shouldn’t go to waste. Neither should your grocery budget.
