Cincinnati, OH, September 1, 2026 —
Shoppers in the Tri-State area are discovering a new way to save on groceries while contributing to food waste reduction, thanks to the Flashfood app. The digital platform connects consumers with deals on food items that are approaching their best-by dates.
Participating Meijer stores are making these nearing-best-by-date groceries available through the free Flashfood app. Users can browse available deals, often finding significant discounts that can reach up to 50% off the original price.
The app functions by allowing stores to list items that might otherwise be discarded due to approaching expiration. Consumers can then purchase these items at a reduced cost directly through their smartphones.
This initiative serves a dual purpose: providing budget-friendly options for shoppers and diverting edible food from landfills. The focus on groceries nearing their best-by dates aims to maximize the usability of food products.
The Flashfood app is available to users in the Tri-State area, offering access to deals at participating Meijer locations. The platform emphasizes accessibility, with the app itself being free to download and use.
