Too good to go
Food waste apps are here to save the day
By Laura Gaga
I first used food waste app, Too Good To Go (TGTG), around five years ago now — for salad boxes, and sandwich wraps in London, and Chinese food in Brighton. Using the app, you can buy a ‘Magic Bag’ of food from stores, eateries, restaurants at a discounted price; surplus food which would otherwise be wasted. The app began in Denmark in 2015 and it is now active in fourteen European countries including Spain, Germany, Austria. It’s great for travelling — I remember when a friend and I bought breakfast using the app whilst on a mini break in Copenhagen in 2018. Sadly, I have no foreign travel plans at the moment, and with Coronavirus, who knows exactly when I’ll be able to jet off on holiday again, so I’ll be heading back to Blighty for now.
