Too Good To Go
An app that sells unsold food from nearby shops at a discount.
What Too Good To Go does
Too Good To Go is an app for rescuing leftover food. Bakeries, restaurants and grocery stores near you list Surprise Bags of food they didn't sell that day. You reserve one in the app at a discount and pick it up during a set time window. It's available in many US cities.
Every day, shops and restaurants end up with good food they can't sell. Too Good To Go lets them pack it into a Surprise Bag and list it in the app. You browse a map of places near you, reserve a bag, and collect it at the pickup time the store sets, usually before closing.
The surprise is part of the deal. You know roughly what kind of food a place sells, but not exactly what's in the bag, so it works best if you're flexible. Bags in the US average around $3.99 to $5.99, and big names like Whole Foods take part alongside local bakeries and cafes.
Availability depends on where you live. As of late 2025 it was in more than 50 US cities and 19 countries, and popular spots can sell out fast. If you want to save money and keep good food out of the trash, it's one of the best-known apps for that.
