App Enables Sale of Leftover Food From Grocery Stores, Restaurants at a Discount

Finding access to food at a lower cost can help relieve stress on the pocketbook, and one company named “Too Good To Go” is focusing on helping people do just that, while saving leftover food. In order to offer food at lower prices, “Too Good To Go” has created an app that lets local restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, and bakeries sell leftover food at a discount. Customers can purchase food through the app, with the food contained in bags called Surprise Bags, for $2.99 to $9.99. Customers then pick up the bags from the participating business at the specified pickup time. “Food waste is unpredictable,” Chris MacAulay, vice president of Operations for Too Good To Go North America, told The Epoch Times in an email. “What you see on the app today won’t be what you see on the app tomorrow.
