Blaze Pizza Invite Code | Blaze Pizza Promo Code

April 14, 2019 by foodgressing Leave a Comment

Blaze Pizza is a fast casual restaurant chain that specializes in fast-fired, build-your-own artisanal pizzas. I’ve been a fan of Blaza Pizza having tried various of their locations in Toronto, San Diego and most recently in Vancouver.

The pizzas only come with one size option — 11 inches with unlimited toppings. You won’t need to worry about waiting long for your pizza to be baked because they are fast-fired in a hot open-flame oven and ready-to-eat in less than 180 seconds.

In the past, I have enjoyed their plentiful choices for toppings, cheeses and sauces. The crusts of the pizzas are thin and wonderfully chewy and crispy.

Blaze Pizza has an app where you can earn “flames” or rewards for free pizzas and desserts. With the app, you can

Earn one flame for every dollar spent
Find your nearest Blaze Pizza and order ahead on the app
See your online order history and quickly re-order your favorites
Load up a gift card in the app to pay with your phone at the restaurant.

Blaze Pizza Invite Code

If you’d like to get a free drink when you first sign up for the Blaze Pizza app, use my invite code: AretaWong1181.

Walmart Grocery Promo Code for New Customers

April 12, 2019 by foodgressing Leave a Comment

Last year, Walmart started to offer sustainable grocery delivery for Metro Vancouver consumers. Customers can place orders via walmart.ca/grocery or via the Walmart app and have their grocery delivered to their door by Food-X Urban Delivery Inc (Food-X), Sustainable Produce Urban Delivery Inc. (SPUD)’s food delivery platform.

Walmart Oline Grocery Promo Code for New Customers | $10 off orders $50+

The concept is to help customers save time and money with a grocery shopping option that is faster and more affordable for customers in urban centres like Vancouver where there may not be convenient access to a Walmart Supercentre, and for customers who prefer to shop online.

Customers can shop at walmart.ca/grocery or via the Walmart app. When they are done, they simply pay by credit card a then select a delivery window and their order will be delivered by Food-X right to their door in reusable totes as early as the next day. The minimum order is $50 before taxes and delivery is $9.97.

Customers can fill their cart with fresh groceries, including Canadian No. 1 grade fruits and vegetables such as BC-grown produce as well as an expanded selection of organic produce, Canadian beef, chicken and pork, dairy, baked goods, frozen foods and pantry items.

How to Save Money at Sephora through Ebates

December 22, 2018 by foodgressing Leave a Comment

If you’re a regular customer at Sephora, you know that beauty purchases can quickly add up. One way to save money at Sephora is through Ebates.ca where you earn cash back on your online purchases.

If you’re not familiar with Ebates.ca, here’s the run down. Ebates.ca works with over 750 stores that ship to Canada including Groupon, Amazon.ca, eBay, Sears, Old Navy, Forever21 and WaySpa.

All you need to do to earn cash back is to go to the Ebates.ca site, find Sephora as the vendor, and click through to the Sephora site using the “Shop Now” button.

The cashback amount varies all the time. When Sephora has their Insider sales, the Ebates.ca cash back amount is usually low at 1%. When there is no Sephora sale, the Ebates.ca cash back amount can increase to 10%!

I’ve been a member of Ebates.ca for three years now and can vouch for their program. Below is a screenshot of my recent Sephora purchase totals, the cash back amount received, and in the upper right corner is my lifetime cash back total ($750+).

The payment takes place every three months according to a predetermined schedule. I opt for an Amazon.ca gift card for my cash back amount but you can receive a physical cheque in the mail as well.

Sephora Skin Fit Oxygenating Facial Review

The cash back does interfere with you collecting Insider points at Sephora.

If you’re not an Ebates.ca member, sign up now to start saving at Sephora.
