Try Too Good To Go
If you're looking for ways to stretch your budget on food, Too Good To Go is a game-changer. This app connects you with local restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores offering surplus food at a fraction of the price. Instead of tossing perfectly good items at the end of the day, businesses list them on the app as "surprise bags"—meaning you get a mix of food for a low cost.
I gave it a shot last week and was pleasantly surprised. For $6.37 at IKEA, I got dinner and dessert, and for $6.99 at Whole Foods, I walked away with a variety of baked goods. While you won’t know exactly what’s in your bag until you pick it up, everything I received was delicious and worth well over what I paid.
If you're open to a little surprise and want to save money while reducing food waste, I highly recommend giving this app a try! You might even discover a new favorite spot in the process.
