Too Good To Go: End Food Waste

Too Good To Go Aps

About this app

Every year, one-third of food is thrown away. Too Good To Go is trying to change that. Use the app to rescue Surprise Bags filled with delicious, surplus food from businesses near you.

How it works is simple:

• Search the map to find a restaurant, cafe, or shop near you that has unsold food
• Buy the food through the app from as little as £2/2€
• Collect your food at the pre-set time, and enjoy it knowing you’ve done something good for the planet

Choose from stores such as Costa Coffee, Greggs, Caffè Nero, Morrisons, Planet Organic, LEON, YO!, and your favourite local independents - more than 90,000 stores fight food waste with us across Europe and North America, with more joining every day.

And the best bit? Every Surprise Bag you rescue saves 2.5kg of CO2e - the same as it would take to charge 440 smartphones.

Ratings and reviews

10/9/23 update: 1 star removed. App has been really buggy lately. The option to pull up an order to swipe and show to restaurant does not always come up. Most recently, took a while to get it to come up, then it allowed me to swipe right, then swipe back left, then right again, and left again. ---- the service that the app provides is fantastic. more food establishments are getting on board regularly, do if you have none or few in your area, be patient and keep checking.

Love that this reduces food waste/climate impact, supports local businesses, and introduces us to new foods and places. The app has been really easy to use. Handy that it allows to look via proximity or set location, and that connects to mapping to help you navigate to new-to-you places once you have chosen your "surprise bag." Was also easy to buy a second bag (as long as they have additional) at one place when realized would like more than one.

I would like the options I select (e.g. sort by distance, hide sold out options) to stay for the next time I open it. I never need to see what items are already sold out, so it would be nice if the default was to not show them. Also it keeps randomly showing me the distance in km some days and miles on others. Just pick a unit and stick with it.
