I received a discount code to use toward the Voila service by the Product Review Club. Here are my impressions:
Pros:
- Excellent time slot availability
- Delivery arrived at the specified time and driver called twice, once to advise me that the order would be arriving within 5 minutes, and once after the order had been delivered
- Groceries were well-packed and all items were at appropriate temperatures (i.e. frozen foods were still frozen!)
- Produce and other items were well-selected: no bruises, no items near to expiry, etc
Cons
- Product availability! At the time that I placed my order, many of my typical groceries were not being offered. Nothing obscure; just things like green beans, plums, apricots, etc. So after receiving my order, I will still have to visit my local grocery store.
- Price for this service. As I mentioned, I received a coupon code to use toward my order. In the absence of that code, I might not have placed an order, since delivery costs $7.99.

I received this bar in exchange for an honest review.
These vegan protein snack bars are a good option for those who don't consume any animal products (incl dairy) but want the convenience of a higher protein snack that is ready-to-go. The flavour and consistency were good.
Personally, I found that they contained a bit too many calories and fat for such a small bar.

I was sent the Power Bar Plant Protein bars to try in exchange for an honest review.
I was pleased to see that the bars use a combination of pea and rice protein for a more complete vegan protein profile.
However, the bars contained over 200 Cal and 12-13 g of fat each.
I find this a bit too high fat/high cal for a quick, on-the-go snack.

Tassimo T45 Home Brewing System
Pros: convenience, single cup at a time, little waste Cons: coffee doesn't taste that great I prefer to use a proper coffee machine with the ability to adjust portion sizes from cup to carafe.

Chapman's Frozen Yogurt
If you're looking for a lower cal option for a frozen dessert, this is it. You can usually find it on sale for $3.99 for a 2 L tub. The taste is good and the texture is pleasing.

Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk
I've used this product for years. It is very gentle but still leaves you feeling squeaky clean. It is gentle enough that I trust to use it on my two small children.

L'Occitane Amande Shower Oil
My favourite shower cleanser. I have purchased it multiple times. Very moisturizing. More costly than drugstore brands but I feel it is worth it. Will continue to purchase.

PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter Chocolate
I love using powdered PB as a low fat alternative to regular peanut butter. PB2 is one of the original brands of powdered PB. I find it a bit expensive relative to some of the competitor brands.

Silk Almond For Coffee Vanilla
This is my favourite of the new generation of nondairy coffee creamers. I prefer it over the other varieties (soy, coconut). Turns my coffee into a little treat!
