Too Good To Go
- Real savings on food that would be thrown out
- Easy map of what's available nearby
- Free to use; you only pay for bags
- You rarely know what's in the bag
- Pickup windows are fixed by each store
- Shares some data for advertising
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.
