Unwrapping the Goodness of Too Good to Go – A Review on Ending Food Waste

In this post, we are going to review the app, Too Good to Go, with the intent of reducing commercial food waste.

• What does this app accomplish?: Too Good to Go users can input their location, and food service establishments that participate will populate. Users can get a "surprise bag" for a discounted fee at the end of the night from the restaurant or grocery store with food items that can not be sold the next day.

Pros:

• This app is user-friendly and easy to navigate and there is no cost to sign up, but the mystery bags come with a purchase

• Allows the user to be creative with ingredients purchased or can try new things at a discounted price

• Instead of food being thrown away at the end of the night, it will be used instead of thrown away, reducing food waste

Cons:

• Depending on your location, the availability of mystery boxes may be limited.

• May not like all the food received from the mystery bag

• Only offered in a pick-up model, may not be as accessible for everyone
