Too Good To Go App Review – Surprise Food Bags
I’ve wanted to review the Too Good To Go App for a while now because it’s, in one word, amazing.
Cofounders of the app Lucie Basch and Jamie Crummie launched the Too Good To Go App U.K. in 2016.
According to a Forbes article, the app has been a great success and has grown to over 7 million users buying reduced-priced unsold meals that would have ended up in waste.
Over 15,000 food establishments participate in the Too Good To Go program worldwide.
I advocate for eliminating food waste in Canada, so we use the FlashFood and the Too Good To Go Apps.
There’s no fee for you or affiliate marketing from me; it’s just my honest opinion.
Keep reading if you want to reduce your grocery budget or save money on foods ranging from produce to dairy, snacks, meats, and more.

Before using the app, you must be 18 years old and have a debit, credit card, or other payment method.

Yes! Downloading the app is 100% free.
You only pay for the discounted Surprise Bags you purchase.

You can find an extensive range of products as we work with many different stores.
Bread and pastries from bakeries, freshly cooked meals from restaurants, breakfast from hotels, buffet food, and groceries from the supermarket!
Any fresh surplus food can be sold on the app. Some products might have reached the best-before date but are still suitable for consumption.
How do you collect a Too Good To Go surprise bag?

Bring a bag or box with you, and to collect the order, swipe the button on your order via the app and show a staff member.

You have up to two hours before the beginning of the agreed pickup time to cancel your order since it is a perishable good.

Each store participating in the Too Good To Go App will be listed in the area where you live.
Below are some of the standard stores you will find on the app, although there are family-run businesses that are city- or town-specific.
Many businesses are on this app, including some of your favourite restaurants.
Too Good To Go App Canada Surprise Metro Meat
The products in the surprise bags from the Too Good To Go app will contain an assortment of the type of bag you choose.
For example, a dairy bag may contain yogurts, cheese, milk, and other dairy products based on the company you are purchasing from.
Pizza Pizza surprise bags may offer 3 to 4 slices of pizza, salad, wings, or French fries the store has left at the end of the day. Reg costs $18.00, but you get the bag for $5.99.
It’s not bad for a meal that will likely feed two people.
Every business is different and has pre-made offerings unique to what it prepares or sells.
If you have allergies, you’ll have to ask the store before you purchase anything on the app. Otherwise, it’s not stated.
Since the food products in the bags are a surprise, you never know what you’ll get inside.
I kind of like the element of surprise.
Plus, it’s a great way to experience different restaurants in your city that you’d otherwise not visit because the prices don’t fit your entertainment budget.
Too Good To Go App Fruits and Vegetables
The Too Good To Go bags may be close to or on the “best before” date, prepared in error, or delicious food the store offers at the end of the day.
Tim Hortons Too Good To Go App Surprise Bag Purchase
Tim Hortons offers a surprise bag worth $15.00 but only charges $4.99.
You may find surplus baked goods such as donuts, Timbits, Cookies, Muffins, Bagels, and other baked goods inside the bag. Pretty good if you ask me!
When Mrs. CBB and her friend were at a concert downtown Toronto, they used the app and picked up Tim Hortons.
In the surprise bag were two bowls of chili, buns, and three donuts for $4.99. It worked out perfectly for them and cut down on their night out on the town expenses.
They did take a chance, knowing that they could have received a box of donuts for dinner, but they didn’t care.
Prices for the surprise bags vary from business to business, but I’ll list some of the standard prices below.

Like every review, I like to break down any pros and cons that I feel are important to share, given our experience using the app.
In this instance, Mrs. CBB will share her feedback on her experience with you.
Overall, people told us we needed to splurge and have an entertainment budget.
We now have one, and my readers were right.
Even if Mrs. CBB and I pick up a Too Good To Go bag, we can save money and enjoy a date simultaneously.
Nothing stops us from having a date at home or eating on a picnic table at the park or beach in the summer.
For the single person who is busy or not interested in cooking, this is an excellent option if you stick to restaurant food.
Check out the Too Good To Go App online or at the Apple Store or Google Play Store.
