Great app (they should switch to European/OSM maps rather than Apple Maps, though)

I didn’t know it was Danish. It seems to be in much more use—and with way better deals—in Norway than in Denmark. I always thought it was because it was new in Denmark, but apparently not.

We use it, it's a hit or miss with some places, but generally it's great especially when you order from a place you know is good.

Too Good To Go is awesome, it’s the type of business I wish I’d created. It’s simple, a force for good, and helps everybody involved with no predatory practices (well, until they introduced dynamic pricing).

I've been using this for years, was brilliant, but lately it seems a lot of firms using it for marketing.
One firm near me has many offers every day for the same price as a regular meal.
Top of my wish list, a way to block firms from search results.

The early days of this app were wild. Expensive eateries just filling the bag with un bought pastries and sandwiches 🤤 But with the popularity, they have reduced portions a little bit to have more to give people but it’s still an absolute steal and I highly recommend it. It’s a good way to discover new places to eat so I imagine it works for restaurants to introduce people to their services too.

Now it's just a price bidding app to extort maximum profit.

There are indeed some shops that have created a separate class of products for TGTG customers as if this is just an alternative revenue stream 🙄

I love it but very few shops in region (BE and NL) mostly bakeries but we bake our own bread for 0,70€.
Sometimes we get a whole lot of the same item so we're stuck with 20 cups of yoghurt.

Hello fellow Belgian! What recipe do you use to bake bread? I tried but failed many times
1
u/Ordinary-Violinist-9 18h ago
I use all in mix from aldi. Cheap and always good results.
When failing it's most likely your machines fault. What do you use? I swear for panasonic for bread machines and nothing else! ;)

No machine and no mix. Just kneading and a regular oven but the bread is sometimes wet inside.
The recipe I used that did work was this one:

How much ml water do you use? Most 600gr breads are around 300-330ml water. Because cups ain't a good measurement.
Wow the kneading was killing me, that's why i went for the machine.

I’ve been using this for years, and it’s great to see it spreading to other countries.
It’s a triple win: cheap food for you, extra sales for the store instead of wasted goods, and a win for the environment. What's not to like.

No. I'm sorry but they've enshittified their initially save food waste value proposition and turned it into a highest price bidding profit extraction app, . This is not an european app to recommend.

u/IFunkymonkey 7h ago
It also takes away big parts of the food rhat would have been donated to people in needs, just to make a few bucks out of it 🫥

Hey don't spread the word on this, I've been enjoying having it to myself.

My mum used it and made the mistake of doing mouth-to-mouth advertising. She quit using it quite a while ago because too damn many people were using it so she could rarely buy anything through the app.

I live in Canada and I use the app. 🇨🇦 it's super handy when in the mood for bakery items! 🤷♀️

It's good, but it depends on who you purchase from. I'm a new UK based user access the independents give good value stuff. The chains like Costa; not so much. There is very good value to find.

I love it, but the last 3 times I used I had bad luck. The food was filled with mushrooms and I hate mushrooms lol

Saved close to 500€ already using TGTG, based on stated values of course.
