If your heart skips a beat at the grocery store checkout, you're not alone. Food prices keep climbing, and those apples aren't getting cheaper anytime soon. We all share the pain of grocery bills that just keep adding up, but while deals may be harder to find, there is still a way to shop smarter and keep more money in your wallet.
Founded in Ontario, Canadian produce delivery company Odd Bunch offers a more affordable and sustainable way to shop for groceries by curating boxes of uniquely shaped and perfectly good produce for up to half the price you’d pay at the supermarket.
And yes, you read that right – you can save up to 50% off on produce compared to grocery store prices. This is because Odd Bunch buys perfectly good produce that grocery retailers reject due to appearance or overstock. Their loss is your gain.
If you haven't heard of them, or have but haven't tried them yet, now is a good time, as new Odd Bunch customers will receive 20% off their first four produce boxes by using the code ‘VIA’ when they sign up!*

The fresh convenience of produce delivery
Odd Bunch sources fruits and veggies that are just as fresh and tasty as what you'd find in your neighbourhood grocery store. The only difference is cosmetic, like a small red apple, a curved cucumber or a knobby potato that didn’t make it to the shelf. It might look a little different, but it still tastes just as good.
By rescuing fruits and vegetables in all shapes and sizes — the kind that would otherwise end up in the dumpster — Odd Bunch helps ensure good food feeds people, not landfills. Considering that roughly half of all food produced in Canada is wasted, all efforts of food rescue go a long way.
Honestly, how did we ever live before grocery delivery? Each produce box from Odd Bunch is curated based on what needs to be rescued that week and what’s in season. They also offer plenty of variety and one free item substitution per box, so you can customize the contents of your box to sync up with your Sunday meal prep.
Plus, with Odd Bunch, you can schedule convenient weekly doorstep delivery, saving you time on grocery runs and sparing you the strain of (and sore muscles from) carrying heavy bags loaded with fruits and vegetables.
True to their proudly Canadian roots, Odd Bunch works with distributors across the country who source both local and imported produce. That means every surplus box supports local food producers and farmers.
Odd Bunch also gives back to the local communities in the provinces they serve. This year, Odd Bunch was the title sponsor of the 2025 Ugly Potato Day, an annual community initiative aimed at reducing food waste. Held at the Cloverdale Rodeo on Aug. 8, event-goers scored free potatoes and other perfectly good fruits and veggies from a donated surplus weighing more than 500,000 pounds.
In sum, half of all food produced in Canada goes to waste — but with Odd Bunch, you get 50% off your groceries and make 50% fewer trips to the store (late-night snack runs excluded).
Now how’s that for a food revolution?
