I would highly recommend this delivery service to anyone not comfortable leaving their house right now, unable to leave or just for convenience purposes. There were appointments available for the next day, making it a very reasonable wait time.
The price point for delivery is a little high at $7.99 which may prevent some from using the service, however the quality of items provided really coincided with that price point.
The delivery person called when they were on their way, and explained how the process all worked as it was my first time ordering. They explained that bags with green stripes had the cold food that needed refrigeration or to be frozen. I thought this was fantastic, as sometimes you aren’t able to put the groceries away immediately. This system allows you to easily see which food NEEDS to go away immediately, and which can wait.
I am always leery of others picking my produce, however it was fresh and I was completely satisfied with it! Everything was packed nicely and it looked like care and consideration was put into the shop, packing and delivery.
They encourage recycling of the bags used by offering a discount on returning the bags (I believe, I didn’t quite understand but I think that was what they said) however due to COVID they weren’t charging for bags kept at that time.
I received a discount as part of a Product Review Offer. I may not have tried this service without the discount, however I’m so glad I did. If I’m unable to go and get grocery items myself, I would definitely use Voila by Sobey’s again. Even with the higher deliver fee, I can be confident that I’m getting fresh produce and quality items.
Lastly! Shopping on the site was so easy. They even have a sale section where you can browse all the sales. I was able to save an additional $13 by finding what I needed in the sale section. It was quick, easy and very straightforward.

I received this product for free as part of a sample trial program. The product itself was very effective. It left my hands feeling very clean, and yet not dried out. With COVID-19 I have been washing my hands frequently, and was constantly having to apply hand cream to combat the dryness. With Dial PURE Micellar Foaming Hand Wash I found I was having to apply less hand cream. And my hands felt cleaner, without a residue.
I was not a fan of the smell of the soap. I am very sensitive to some scents, and this one, while not unpleasant, was not one I overly enjoyed. That being said, you only smelled it during the application of the soap. There was no residual scent that you carried with you. Given the benefits of cleanliness, I can definitely overlook the few seconds of scent. I would likely buy this product again!

I was given the opportunity to test out the Motts Fruitsations + Fibre Mango and Peach flavour, for free. The night before I picked them up, my daughter was sick. I'm talking, 3 am, sheets changed, throw her in the tub, sick. The next day she wouldn't eat or drink anything. We tried all her favourites. After picking up the Motts, I decided to try to feed this product to her. She ate the whole cup. I also tried a bite before feeding it to her, and it was tasty.
I feel good feeding this product to my 2 year old. The addition is fibre is really useful for us, as my daughter also has motility issues due two low muscle tone. The product is unsweetened, great tasting and just the right size for her.
I also enjoy how Motts supports Breakfast Clubs. Breakfast is such a vital meal, and as a family who is up and out of the house by 6am each day, quick and easy doesn't always equal healthy when it comes to breakfast. This is where Motts can come into play and help provide that energy that she needs before morning snack at daycare, without all the additional sugar and additives.
The flavour of Mango Peach is quite good, which helps because it means my daughter is more likely to finish the entire cup, eliminating wasting food.
All around this is a great product that I can feel good providing to my two year old, either as breakfast before she gets morning snack at daycare, as a snack, or as an addition to any meal.

I get very dry skin in the winter, so I received this at the perfect time! This is a lightweight gel cream that goes on smooth and dries without that oily finish. It provided me instant relief from dry skin. The cream is slightly more liquid than I'm used to, however I think that was to its benefit. A little goes a long way with this product. I received this for free, however also checked to see the price at the local stores. While it is a bit more than I would typically like to spend, I feel that it's worth the price. The packaging is attractive and convenient. It also has a subtle, yet pleasant, clean scent. All around I would recommend this product! -

I love this shampoo and body wash! It has a very pleasant scent, and lathers quite nicely. The best part though, is that it leaves my daughters very fine hair soft and much less tangly than normal. Typically her hair would be a nest by the end of the day, and since starting to use the Babyganics Shampoo + Body Wash her hair is in much better shape, and significantly easier to comb.
I highly recommend this product. It doesn't irritate her skin, and leaves her hair looking and feeling cleaner for longer. Great product!!

My daughter is just learning to properly crawl on her hands and knees. She likes to "hop" around like a frog, and that takes a toll on her knees. Coupled with the fact that it is winter, they are dry and chapped.
When I received the Babyganics Lotion I figured I'd give it a shot on her knees. Within a couple of applications her knees were significantly less dry and red. It absorbs into the skin nicely, and doesn't leave an oily residue. It's gentle enough to apply daily, and helps prevent dry wintery skin. The value is great, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking fora lotion to apply to their little ones sensitive skin.
The lotion also doesn't have a scent, which is great for both of us.

I love this product! The wipes themselves are durable, and possess just the right amount of moisture. They are gentle on my toddlers skin.
There is a pleasant "clean" scent to the product, in that it doesn't have a scent.
I will say, that it can be difficult to pull out a wipe while wrangling a diaperless toddler, however I find that true of many wipe containers. The quality of the product by far supersedes the minor difficult of grabbing a single wipe one handed.

I really enjoyed this product! Tresemme Texture Compressed Micro Mist Hair Spray did a great job of holding my style throughout the day. My style wasn't an elaborate one, so I'm not sure how the hair spray would hold up in a style that really required upkeep, however for the "natural" wavy look I was going for, this spray worked. I loved it because it didn't feel cruncy, or heavy with product, which helped add to the natural wavy look.
The value of this product was fantastic, as I received it for free to try. That being said, I am aware that Tresemme products are generally affordably priced, and would definitely pay the retail prices I have seen for this particular product (around $5).
The next day my hair didn't feel weighed down or greasy, as usually happens with other products I use. I didn't even have to wash my hair until the day after. The mist dispersed evenly, and the smell of the product was not overwhelming, or even overly "chemically". Overall, I really enjoyed this product and will definitely continue to use it in the future. I would also try the different hold levels (mine was a level 1) for more elaborate hairstyles. I would recommend this to friends and family.

I enjoyed the taste of the Premier Vanilla protein shake. While it is not something I would regularly drink on its own, it was pretty decent tasting. I decided to add the vanilla shake to my morning smoothie. Mixed with vanilla yogurt, and a blend of tropical fruits, I really enjoyed the proteins addition! I tend to shy away from adding protein to my smoothies as it often tastes chalky and makes the texture less than desirable, however this shake was the perfect addition.
The Premier vanilla protein shake provided a boost of energy in the morning, which is fantastic. The product was effective, the texture was great, the taste was pretty good and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a protein shake. As I received this product free to try, the value was great! I have seen this product in store and I would definitely pay the asking price.

I want to start out saying I found this product effective. I did not, unfortunately, enjoy the taste of the chocolate shake. It was not the best tasting shake I've had, nor was it the worst. Once getting past the taste, as I mentioned, the shake was effective. It provided a boost of energy that I so desperately need in the mornings. I have a 5.5 month old and the Premier Protein shake was an easy product to grab and drink while feeding her early in the morning.
The texture of the product was great, and not chalky like some protein shakes can be. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for extra energy or a great and easy way to add extra protein into their diets. I did not get the chance to add the chocolate flavour to any smoothies or baking, though I feel that added into some energy bites or a smoothie the taste would be just fine!
