Like the community on the other site, this is a place to share your experiences using the TooGoodToGo app. It let’s you buy food from bakeries, cafes, buffets, and restaurants that they would otherwise throw out at the end of the day. All locations are welcome. Read the about for the suggested post format.
More about the app at TooGoodToGo.com or in the App/Play Store.
You should try foodsharing, which is the non-commercialised original movement (in Europe).
I use this now and again. Last time I got all this from Greggs for £3.99:
- four large sausage rolls
- one large bacon and chicken salad baguette
- one large tuna mayonnaise, lettuce and red onion baguette
- one Cornish pasty
- a steak bake pasty
- loaf of bread
- two iced danish buns
It was insane. I put the pastrys and sausage rolls into the freezer (they all reheated perfectly in my air fryer), along with the bread, and we had the baguettes for lunch. Lasted ages.
Problem is getting in there and making the purchase before others do. The app sells out very very fast where I am
Yeah that sounds like a great haul. There are a few deals here in NYC that sell out very fast too, but it’s usually only the really high end bakeries.
The target market for this is parents of not-picky teenage boys, who like to eat late at night. That being said, I am a big fan, I usually will pick up a few exotic slices of pizza and heat them up the next day, or a bag of bagels over the weekend and freeze them. It’s great for discovering new places and getting food that I would not ordinarily eat, but you will have to slow down as the food by me is nearly exclusively pizza and bagels…
