Years ago I discovered Chick-Fil-A’s app that allowed you to earn reward points for purchases.
Now, almost every fast food restaurant offers online reward incentives. Recently, I stumbled upon a new app that will change how you buy items from local restaurants. Saving money while eating out doesn’t have to be boring; in fact, you can treat yourself while helping reduce waste!
Not Too Good To Be True!
The app Too Good To Go was actually created in 2015; however, I did not hear about it until a few weeks ago. The concept of this app is to help reduce waste. Restaurants often have a surplus of leftover items that end up in the garbage. To help reduce the amount of food items wasted, the app Too Good To Go was created.
The concept of the app is great. Restaurants with left over food items that are perishable, list the items for sale through the app at a severely discounted price. The catch for the buyer is the items you receive are a surprise! If you are down for a food adventure at a severely discounted price this site is for you. It will provide you with a serious discount and help you save money while eating out!
Participating Restaurants that Help Save Money While Eating Out
A lot of the restaurants that participate in this app, at least in my area, are bakery related. This is great because who doesn’t love cake, pie, and pastries!
Explore the restaurants in your area on the app by entering your zip code and checking surrounding miles you are willing to drive to find a deal.
I live in a fairly small town and several of our local restaurants are involved with this app and not all are bakeries.
Our local BBQ Restaurant, Deli, and Coffee Shops are all members of this app. If I want, I can travel to Austin which obviously offers more diversity.
Reviews and Feed Back
The Too Good To Go app provides customer ratings of each restaurant that participates in the app but they do not provide customer pictures. If you want to dig deeper into what is available in your area, you can join your local Too Good To Go Facebook Page. I found one for the greater Austin area. The Facebook page is great for providing honest reviews of the restaurants along with pictures of the items they received.
This is not an every day app but more a way to have fun and save money while enjoying some great local food options. If you are up for an adventure definitely download the app!
