I was given a $25 credit thru ChickAdvisor to give the new Voila By Sobeys online shopping/delivery service a try. To be honest I thought it would be a one and done experience simply to save $25 on my groceries, but I was very impressed with this service and will definitely use it again.
First step was to create an account at the Voila By Sobeys website. Most of the account setup was easy, however I some issues adding in my delivery address. I tried a few formats, but eventually used the chat function to speak to customer service and they gave me the correct address format to use.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the prices were the same as store prices including sale items. Not only are there lots of products and brands available, you can also purchase Farm Boy branded products and other items from Well.ca
Minimum delivery order size is $50, and the delivery fee is $7.99 (very reasonable). It was easy to add and remove items from my cart.
My one concern was the delivery availability, having heard stories of people having to wait more than a week to get access to pick-up orders at other stores. This was not an issue, by placing my order Friday morning my first available delivery time was early the next morning (Sat) or any time thereafter, and you chose a 1 hour delivery slot. I chose 3 pm Sat.
Once my order was submitted, I was also told I had until 7 pm that night to make any changes or additions to the order. I did log in a bit later just to confirm a couple of items.
Shortly after 2:30 on Sat I received a call from my delivery person, confirming my delivery time and checking that it was still ok, and gave me his ETA.
David arrived right on time, put the order together in his van, and then brought my groceries up to my front door, rang the bell and stood back. There were no substitutions to my order and all items were available. He was very friendly and told me that if I had any issues with any of the items, I could contact customer service for a refund.
I received all the items I had ordered and everything was in great condition, nothing crushed or wilted.
I will definitely use this process again to buy groceries, it's so easy and convenient.

I received Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil for free from ChickAdvisor to test, along with the Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser. After using the products for over 1 week, I have noticed a definite improvement in my skin. The texture is smooth, pores are reduced in size and less noticeable. My skin colour is even and bright.
The Retinal Oil is easy to use, the dispenser allows you to dispense the oil a drop at a time.
The only thing I did not like was the scent. There is a strong unpleasant scent which does not last long, and is easily covered by moisturizers, but it is a bit off putting.
Although I was impressed by the product, I would probably try some other retinol oil products to find something with a less offensive smell. However if they did not work as well as this product then I would buy it again.

I have looked at the Rapid Wrinkle Repair line in stores for a few years now but was a bit reluctant to spend the money without knowing that the products worked, so I was very excited to be sent a sample of the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser by ChickAdvisor to try.
After using the cleanser for just over 1 week I was quite impressed.
It has the texture of a light scrub, but is gentle enough to use twice per day. The scent is light and pleasant and it leaves my skin feeling smooth.
I have also been using the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Oil twice per day. With use of both products I have noticed a definite improvement in my skin. The texture is smooth, pores are much less noticeable, and skin colour is even and bright.
I would definitely buy this product again

This is my go to fragrance. I will definitely buy it again.
It can be expensive at the Clinique counter. So look for sets on clearance after the holidays, duty free stores (Canada and US), and I have even bought it at Costco

I bought this item on clearance, and now I know why they were clearing it out. It smells, almost like the oil has gone bad.
Face felt clean and not dried out, but I don't use the product because of the smell.
I hate throwing anything out, so I will try adding some essential oil to this, but if that doesn't help I will be tossing it.

I received a free sample of this product at a TV show taping. I loved it so much I have bought it again and will continue to buy it. Look for it at Costco, they sell the shampoo and conditioner together, 1 litre pump bottles, very reasonably priced.
Product is very creamy, with a light coconut scent. Spreads easily and a little goes a long way. Hair is shiny, no frizz and feels soft.
I will definitely buy this again.

I first tried this product when I received a free sample at a TV show taping. First I love coconut, and the fragrance is light, not overpowering.
Product is creamy and spreads easily thru the hair, you don't need to use a lot to get good coverage.
I then found the product at Costco, 1 litre size bottles of the shampoo and conditioner sold together, for a very reasonable price.
Quality is great, there is no frizz. Hair feels clean and I don't need to wash my hair every day.
I love this product and will definitely buy it again.

I received a sample of this product and then saved it for what I thought would be an appropriate time to use it. Decided that after donating blood would be a good time as any, as a way to avoid the juices that they want you to drink to boost blood sugar.
I was hoping I would enjoy it and be able to use it as an electrolyte tool while following a keto/low-carb diet.
I was disappointed.
Did not appear to dissolve completely. It was far too sweet, even when watered down. I added it to 500ml of water, and they advise adding the package to 250ml (can't even imagine now sweet that would be). Now to be fair I have been following low/no sugar for a few months, so taste if quite sensitive to sweetness now.. It also had a fakeness to the taste that was not pleasant.
I will not be buying this product
