👩💻 EDITOR’S PICK
“To all my Canadians — I love this service for cheap and affordable fresh fruits and vegetables delivered straight to your door. Odd Bunch sources ‘imperfect’ and surplus produce and ships them out weekly at affordable prices. You can request substitutions if there’s an item you don’t want to receive and the company even offers organic boxes if that’s your preference! If you’re in the UK, OddBox offers a similar service!)” [Check them out]
