I order groceries online regularly so was excited to receive a discount code as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club to try the new grocery delivery service from Voila By Sobeys.
The Voila By Sobeys website is easy to use and navigate. Since this is still a relatively new service the selection is a bit more limited than other services but I expect this to change as they continue to add products to their site. Not all products have ingredient lists yet but I expect this will be updated in the near future as well. One perk of shopping with this grocery service is that they not only carry Sobeys products but they also carry some items from the Farm Boy label as well as some items from Well.ca which gave me a chance to get some items that I ordinarily wouldn't have access to since there isn't a Farm Boy near me.
I love that groceries are filled at a warehouse which means fewer hands have handled items. It also means that they have a better handle on inventory so that you know up front if an item is out of stock. Unlike other grocery services I have used, all the items I ordered came in my delivery, no unfilled requests or substitutions.
Delivery windows are 1 hour long which is nice since some competing services have 2 to 4 hour long delivery windows. Deliveries are made in a Sobey's truck with refrigeration. The delivery person checks the temperature of your cold items to ensure that the temperature has been maintained and the plastic bags with cold or frozen items has a green handle to help you identify them . My delivery person called to let me know in advance when they were 5 minutes away and when they arrived they were very professional and walked me through the process.
All the produce I ordered was fresh and in excellent condition. I was happily surprised that most of my meat was vacuum sealed meaning that they had longer expiry dates than what I would normally get in a sealed clam shell container. My only criticism was that the bags of milk I received had an expiry date a week and a half away when I would have expected it to be double that.
Overall I had a great experience shopping with Voila By Sobeys and I will definitely order from them again.

I really enjoyed drinking Canada Dry Club Soda Pomegranate-Cherry. I drink a lot of water with lemon so it was a really nice change to have a different flavour combo. The carbonation makes it feel like I'm enjoying a soda without all that added sugar.
I will definitely recommend it to friends and family!

I tried the Premier Protein Vanilla shake for free as a Chick Advisor trial.
I am always on the hunt for a good protein shake for when I'm in a rush and need a boost. The Vanilla flavour was not as strong as I hoped and I definitely preferred the chocolate version.
Outside of the taste, it did give me a noticeable boost in energy after drinking it.

We really liked the Good & Simple Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Muffins. They had a great taste and I loved that they were perfect for grabbing one as we rushed out the door.
I did find that they were still a little hard to find but I'm sure that once they are better known you'll be able to find them everywhere.
I can definitely see these muffins becoming part of our regular snacking routine and would buy them again!

GLISS Extra Volume Conditioner
I really liked the smell of the GLISS Extra Volume Conditioner. It worked into my hair nicely and left it very soft. I didn't notice a lot of volume when I used the Conditioner. #got2bgliss #gotitfree
