You can tell there's less touching of my stuff just from entering the order.
My friend is very concerned about exposing her Mum to covid, so she was excited to hear about this new service. She's also vegan and diabetic, so she's always looking for special products. This is the grocery service for her.
The website was easy to use. The search button and categories got you to the groceries needed. It was easy to make order changes until 7:25pm the day before. (Metro gives you until before 4pm and Walmart gives you until midnight) . You know, for family members who tell you what they need AFTER you enter the order.
Products available at Voila are sold in bunches (you can't just get individual bananas, peaches, buns, anything, it's all in clusters so it has as few touches as possible).
They sell Sobeys, Farm Boy, and Chalo products. Therefore there's a large selection of gluten free, vegan, ethnic, and regular items. It comes from a warehouse, so there aren't customers picking over the stuff, and the produce is fresh guaranteed. (It is fresh, my bananas are green and peaches are *just ripe)
Their prices are the same as Sobeys (I didn't see any extra uplift). Their delivery charge is $7.99 which is lower than Walmart or Metro.
The plastic bags are better quality than Walmart, but not as sturdy as Metro. And the next time you receive a delivery, they'll take them to be recycled.
For their delivery, you can pick the hour you want them there. You can tell them special instructions on the order, but our exceptionally polite driver called ahead, confirmed instructions, told us he'd be here in 15 minutes (right on time). He put the refrigerated items in one group and non perishables in another. He was neatly dressed with gloves and mask, and the delivery truck looked like a dedicated refrigerated truck.
Overall I was happy with my order. (My friend may never leave them once they come to her area). I'd prefer more individual items as there are only 2 of us, but the delivery itself was a good price and amazing service. (And I tend to frequent places with great service)
**Please note I did receive a discount in exchange for my opinion, but it didn't affect it.

Premier Protein Chocolate Shake
This product has 3 times as much protein as my current breakfast drink. I dig on the shelves to find the high protein one at 12g and this has 30g (amazing!!!) It has less calories and fat. It has 22 vitamins and minerals, while my current one has... +
This product has 3 times as much protein as my current breakfast drink. I dig on the shelves to find the high protein one at 12g and this has 30g (amazing!!!)
It has less calories and fat.
It has 22 vitamins and minerals, while my current one has 26.... But I don't drink these for vitamins and minerals (and really only 4 less.... That's awesome).
The packaging is lighter and a recyclable tetra pack, so it can be flattened down to take up less room in the bin.
So my only problem is the taste... Having less sugar means lower calories and less sweet, so it's not what I'm used to. Having more protein means it's heavier than I'm used to. So you need to decide if you can get used to the taste in exchange for the win, win, win benefits.
I'm unsure if I'd buy it again... It's easier and better for you than smoothies, with way less clean up.
Please note, I received this product free of charge in exchange for my opinion.

These individually wrapped bars are easy to give out to family and bring with you for breakfast, afternoon snacks.
These are moist and fruit filled (with non dried cranberries so they are moist and tasty)
They taste fresh, moist, good and with natural ingredients you don't feel bad giving them to your family.
These are now a permanent fixture on my grocery list.

So when I posted how great this product worked on my Instagram, my friend promptly stole it (so I I only used it twice...
It was easy to use, it went on my hair not all over everything. It made my hair more voluminous and held in place despite the humidity (my hair though thin loves to frizz out)
I would definitely get more of the product so I can use it, with a spare in case of friend thievery

Best invention ever!
Easy to use (the spray pump is easy to press, it never gets jammed)
The product ends up on my hair in a fine mist, not all over my make up area .
It doesn't spray all over the floor making things slippery (I had another product like that)
Its effective in getting out the tangles without leaving your hair a greasy gooey mess.
It leaves your hair soft to touch, easy to run your fingers and brush through without leaving stuff on your hands... I love it!

The product smelled great, it was easy to use, it rinsed clean out of my hair.
My hair may have felt better and been in better shape for using it, but as I was using multiple new products at the time so I could not attribute the benefits to this product particularly.
My concern with the product is that it's primary use for me is de-tangling and it definitely does NOT do that. My hair was just as difficult to de-tangle as if I used no product at all. In fact I feel I had to add extra of another product so I didn't have to rip my hair out.
If your goal is straight up repair, this product may be for you... But. NOT as a de-tangler
