I ordered from Sobey's using Voila and had a really good experience. There was a fairly complete range of grocery items, and I liked being able to add things to the order up until the night before delivery -- I forgot a few things and was able to add them in, the order total was just recalculated.
Everything was delivered as expected, and the driver was really nice. He called a couple of hours before my scheduled time and said that he was in my neighbourhood and could deliver in 30 minutes, which worked fine for me. He even came upstairs in our condo building and delivered the boxes straight to the door, and waited while I checked the order and (on his suggestion) checked that the eggs were not cracked. Really great service compared to some of the deliveries that drop your boxes in the lobby and dash.
I received a discount voucher for using this service, I'm not sure that I would have tried it otherwise since the delivery fee is relatively high. If they had free or discounted delivery for a larger order, that would definitely be an incentive. I may use the service again if I don't want to walk out to our local grocery.

Nellie's Laundry Soda
I’ve been using Nellie’s for years, since I was tired of the over-perfumed detergents that had a lot of strange chemical ingredients. Nellie’s is a more natural alternative with no added scents, so great for sensitive skin. Also, Canadian!

Method Dish Soap - Clementine
Method is my go-to dish soap for every day use - it cleans well, is easy on hands and smells great. I was very happy to find it in the larger pouches that I can use to refill a glass dispenser, cutting down on plastic waste.

I bought the iPhone 8 (not the Plus) for the smaller form factor: I like that it fits easily into a pants pocket, especially since I use it for payment at most places. I didn’t buy the X since the only real difference was FaceID, and I’m fine with the fingerprint ID especially now that we’re all wearing masks in shops! After a couple of years, it’s working great and I have no desire to upgrade. -

The best of the ice cream sandwiches! We love the chocolate cookie sandwiches rather than chocolate-covered ice cream bars, and these are top of class. Not too sweet, and the quality of the Chapman ice cream makes a huge difference in taste. Eight to a box with slightly smaller portions works better for a light snack/dessert than some of the other oversized portions. -

This instant espresso is so good, we don’t brew coffee at home any more. As a powder, it’s also great for adding to recipes (like creme brûlée as the main flavouring, or to add depth to chocolate recipes) because it dissolves quickly and gives a great coffee taste. It can be a bit pricey but you can shop around for sales. -
