Does it deserve #5?
Is Too Good To Go worth it?
For most people, yes. Too Good To Go scores 8.3/10 and ranks #5 in Food & Cooking. It's best for bargain hunters in towns and cities who like a food surprise. Skip it if you have strict dietary needs and must know every ingredient. Price: Free app; you pay per Surprise Bag, from about $3 at participating stores.
The verdict
Too Good To Go turns food waste into a cheap dinner. Cafes, shops, grocers and restaurants list Surprise Bags of unsold food, you reserve one in the app, and you collect it during a set pickup window. You won't know exactly what's inside, which is half the fun and half the gamble. The map makes it easy to find what's nearby, though pickup times are set by the store and the app tracks more than we'd like.
