GHP #38 - Reducing Your Grocery Bill, Food Waste, and Food Inequality with Josh Domingues!

Episode 38 is with Josh Domingues, founder and CEO of Flashfood! 

Flashfood is a mobile platform that connects surplus food from grocery partners directly to its users at reduced prices to alleviate food waste. Solving food inequality and food waste is a tall order but the company is well on its way to becoming a household name across North America, with partnerships with Loblaws, Farm Boy, and Meijer.

We sit down to speak with Josh about the journey behind the business. He explains the economic and environmental impacts of food waste, the challenges of food inequality, and how he built Flashfood to where it is today. He also breaks down the many ways through which we can reduce our own food consumption and waste every day.

This was an eye-opening conversation that really exposes many secrets of the food industry. If you’re looking to save money on your grocery bill, click play and consider downloading Flashfood from your app store!
