This is NOT a sponsored video!! I just thought it would be cool to try out an app aimed to combat food waste :) That said, I got WAY more than I expected to get and I’m super excited to try this again in the future. Though I just got pastries this time, I’ll try to get more variety next time… perhaps I’ll make a meal with what I get? Since I cannot consume all these goodies by myself, I’ll be sharing them with friends within the next few days! Link to app if you wanted to give it a try (again not sponsored I’m just excited about receiving delicious food for much cheaper lol): toogoodtogo.com/en-us/
I wouldn’t mind if it was sponsored anyway. Besides being a dietician, you are also a content creator at the end of the day and I trust you would only recommend products and services you genuinely like. ☺️
I need so advice so I believe I am struggling with an ED but I’m not sure I was 140 and my doctor is worrying that if I keep losing weight that I will become underweight and I’m not sure what to do I’m trying to gain some weight back and I weighed myself today and I am now 136 I’m not sure what to do and am worried that my doctor is going to think I’m doing it on purpose
I live in Italy and I swear by this app. I'm a college student so sometimes on a tight budget and this app makes me save a lot of money, the quantity of food is so huge that I tend to freeze the rest for the days to come.
Yep, my mother sells boxes sometimes when they have many leftovers and they get sold almost immediately I've been told the price is set so it always costs pretty much the same but the restaurant / shop owner is free to choose how much stuff to put in it
Wow what a great deal!! I’ll definitely have to try other restaurants in the area! Hopefully there’s a Mexican restaurant near me that’s participating 😊
@@gibsonms Mexican food in England? How is it? I hear it’s becoming popular. When I first went to London some 15 years ago, there was basically no Mexican restaurant. Well, one downtown (Piccadilly?) but it was Tex mex IMO.
Wow I love this!! Reducing food waste and making food accessible to those who need it are even more important now given our society’s current financial state! Happy to know that there are towns that are coordinating this
@@bonstermonster78nonstop19 no it’s not it’s specifically for anyone to take. It’s just like this where it’s food from restaurants, bakeries, and local farms that were in surplus
I'm a tad late here, but unfortunately many places with too good to go also used to have services that gave food away for free, to those homeless or in need. This market 'solution' works well in some places, but has also cut out food and support for the homeless in other places.
I used to work in a college cafeteria and at the end of the day there would be all this food that had to be discarded and remade the next day. The higher ups DEMANDED that all this food be thrown straight in the garbage but never gave a good reason. My boss thought that was absurd and would just let us take whatever we wanted or offer it to random kids that were walking past. As a college kid a random meal is basically a blessing.
I think for a lot of establishments, a concern is if someone were to get sick after eating the food and went back there to claim some sort of compensation. Usually by the time there’s leftover food it means that it’s very late in the day/the place has closed for the day already, which then means that the food is probably no longer as fresh as before. But personally I do find it very wasteful when I see all the food being thrown away :( And I also buy discounted sushi in the evening once in a while haha.
I worked at a small hospital and the night kitchen worker would pack up leftovers and give them to night shift people and when management found out they transferred her to day shift and acted like she was stealing the food that was going to be thrown in the trash anyway.
Our university literally has their own food pantry, I actually had classes with some students who wouldn't eat for a day or two because they couldn't afford it
Not to rain on anyone's parade but this app is cute if you want to help small bakeries and restaurants earn a bit more while you try discounted goods. Basically win win. But you're not helping food waste all that much with it. Most of the food waste comes from food production before it even reaches the stove/oven. Preparing food generates more waste than excess of it (since restaurants generally avoid having too much because it generates loss of profit through increased cost) Buffets are the absolute worst for food waste.
@@astronoteek1512 Grocery stores have the same problem buffets do. In order to be competitive they need large excess of food, and its usually premlade food which, again, produces majority of waste while its prepared.
Same 😀 I’ll pick up my order later today. Just for the fun of it since nothing looks healthy nearby. At least the one I order from has the potential to be a meal not the healthiest but better than just baked goods. I wished there has a grocery store nearby on this app or restaurants that have solid meals.
@@azulposeido my boyfriend has gotten many TGTG orders from his local convenience store in UK actually. He gets pizzas, ready made meals, milk, desserts and potato wedges. All sorts!
In Italy, more supermarkets have created this section for food that is about to expire. Basically, you pay half of the price for things that expire in max 2 days. It's even better because you can pick what you like and take inspiration. I sometimes like to go there, choose some products and from that decide what to Cook with it the same day.
@@CarinaCoffeeThey do that in Australia also, mostly with meat, fruit & vegetables and dairy. I often buy up to 50% marked down foods that l can either freeze, cook and freeze or use within a day or two.
I love TGTG, but unfortunately there's not a lot of restaurants and shops that offer healthier foods. A lot of the surplus is usually pastries, like here, and bread products. Great as an occasional treat, but not something I'd get every day :)
That's the unfortunate part about some areas. The only less than 5 miles away from is are mainly coffee shops and bakeries, but if I go further like 10 miles or less there's a lot more restaurants and stores with health options. I just don't like driving into the city for it. :/
Yeah, also it's not a cheap option to me as it can't beat the grocery store. Maybe it's cheap if you would be eating out/buying prepared food otherwise, but I can't afford that anyway, so it's of no use to me :(
Wow, I had NO idea that too good to go was so big. I'm from Denmark where it started and I'm so happy to hear it's so popular because, why not save money and reduce food waste? Thank you for sharing this so even more people can do this! 😊✨
That app is literally a lifesaver, like other comments said, especially if you're a student or on a really tight budget. And it's definitely not just for snacks and sweets, there's greengrocers, fishmongers, supermarkets, bars... you just have to choose the one for you. In my city (in Italy), there's a place where I can get 3 panzerotti al forno (basically smaller calzone pizza, one of them is still more than enough to fill you up) for 2,99€ with this app. Usually the place sells them for almost 4€ each. They're not even dry at all, you pop them in the microwave for a minute and they're as good as new, and you get 3 meals for less than 3€. Unbeatable.
i used to live in downtown dc and this app was fantastic! i would look pretty much every day at places that were on my commute and swing by. found all sorts of great little spots
I work at a store where i fill these evry afternoon and its so fun to do and just as an inside tip : stores with younger staff and smaller bussinesses tend to overfill them a bit cuz we dont want to throw any of it away
I love Too Good To Go!! I’ve been using them (up in Canada) for a few months now and have gotten such tasty stuff. It always makes me so excited to see other people enjoying and sharing it as well!🤩
As long as you don't have food sensitivities, allergies, and are not a picky eater, this program is THE BEST. My office has a place with this, and the staff are always super nice about being flexible about the time (cannot guarantee for other locations though)
I just got this app a couple weeks ago but was too nervous to order anything yet. Thanks for doing this, seeing your "haul" makes me way more willing to try it.
Yep, been using this for months now and it's usually really helpful!! It really does depend on where you live, even for me in a big city centre there's not completely loads, but enough to suppliment the long-lasting stuff i buy on normal grocery runs, getting me fresh stuff, ready meals/snacks and inspiration for varied food i wouldn't have otherwise. I'd definitely recommend trying it, especially if you don't have allergies and don't rely too heavily on best-before dates to tell you if something's still good.
This is the perfect app for when you're having friends over for brunch. I order 2 from Tim Hortons and it saves me having to pick options + there's always a great variety ❤
Another tip for the app: Some restaurants want to stay hidden on the app. So if you walk into a restaurant, that is not shown on the app, look around if you find a sign with a link on it or something. Usually they do this, to get tgtg costumers that have already been to the restaurant.
That's so genius! Saving food from being thrown out and they really give you so much. Is there a way in the app to inform them of allergies? Don't wanna order something random and then send someone to the hospital.
This is sooo good for low income families looking for a treat on a birthday or something too. It’s so great to see someone’s come up with such an innovative app that helps solve (to an extent) many different problems!
Hey Kylie, I'm a huge fan and I'm looking into becoming a dietitian myself. Can you do a video on where you went to school and any advice for people interested in majoring in this field. You're amazing BTW!
I absolutely love this concept!! Thanks for sharing! I had no idea this was a thing. It's always bummed me out how much food restaurants throw away, so I'm happy this exists! Downloading it asap
I’m from Australia and we have kinda something like this called Ozharvest. It was founded by Ronni Kahn and Ozharvest trucks go around to supermarkets, restaurants and cafes, hotels, retailers, airports, etc and they collect wasted fruits/veggies, meats, cooked meals, pre packed items, dried foods, baked sweets, dairy,eggs and drinks. Once they have collected them they deliver the foods to charities to help people in need of fresh food. According to a 2018 post made by Ozharvest they repurposed and rescued 180 tones of food a week from 3,000 food donors, then they delivered it directly to 1,300 charity agencies.
I didn’t want to write a whole short story so I am commenting on my first post anyways, when Ronni (the founder of Ozharvest) was younger she wasted tones of food. When she got older she lost her father after a car accident. Then when she got even older she started to host tones of parties and noticed how much food waste there was after. In 2004 she started up Ozharvest and it is still going today all over Australia.
Here in Switzerland, loads of grocery stores also offer these surprise bags through too good to go! Fruit and veggies that are easily still usable for days for a couple bucks is such a good deal!
I had never heard of this app. I just signed up and was pleasantly surprised that the choices range from 3 Italian restaurants, 1 Indian, 1 vegetarian and 2 bakeries, within walking distance from my place. More choices if I feel like driving. I will be using this app soon. Thanks for doing this video.
Most supermarkets in the Netherlands participate in TGTG! Most have surprise bags, which can contain anything, vegetarian bags, which are self-explanatory, and bread bags, which contain, you guessed it, bread. They're a great way to save money, explore new produce, and save food!
Companies are making money off of food they would’ve thrown away anyway. They could also supply this food to homeless shelters and survivor shelters as well.. but there’s no money in that. At least it didn’t go in the bin!
Ik there's SO many ppl in need hopefully in the future they'll set a program for the needy as well but the innovation 💖 I'm living 🤩 i would scream inside knowing so many restaurants throw away good food because they weren't able to sell it all that day😩 🤧 this is so exciting ‼️
I know in the states it's different but where i live there aren't any permanent shelter to donate it to, so it would just get thrown away At least like this people who are living in different conditions can buy a meal (often more) for the price of three water bottles
It's not like she's eating this in all one sitting. And having bread or anything sweet once in a while isn't going to hurt her. She clearly eats a balanced diet and is a healthy person
i love this app! there's this really nice pastry shop/bakery near where i live but the food is a bit expensive (think £4-5 per little pastry, idk if this is cheap though i have no sense of money 😭😭) but i got a bag of around 6 or 7 cakes and things for about £5 and they were still pretty good :D
i know you’re just looking for new content to post and didn’t mean any harm but if you’re not struggling with money, please don’t buy those bags… as a student who’s struggling to buy food / eat three meals daily, it hurts to see youtubers/ wealthy people buy from too good to go because what you bought could have been bought by someone in need instead 😭
Respectfully you don't know her financial situation. secondly just because others might not have more money than her even though you have no idea how much she makes . She can do anything she wants. There's plenty of these bags from restaurants to go around
@@brooke9225 she literally works in a hospital + have 330k subscribers here. the youtube money she makes is definitely more than enough just by itself? how selfish you are 💀
@@brooke9225 rude because I’m stating facts?? you’re being ridiculous 💀 but yeah letting wealthy people benefit from students/low income people apps sure is the best thing ever lmfao
I saw this app like 4 years ago and I looove the concept. However, I then realized that only two stores in my area are selling on TGTG, both bakeries. I catched myself frequently over the years, re-downloading the app and having to realize it's still the same shops 😭😭
Great idea! Sadly my area in PA, USA has nowhere that does it. Bummer! Hope more people catch on and it expands. Would love to do this to reduce waste.
I live in Sweden and I’ve had this app for a while and it’s amazing, there’s almost always extra food over after I’m done but who complains? It’s cheap and good for the environment
Apps like this are being more and more popular and I’m so happy about it. Sometimes if I have time before work I’ll pick up a box of assorted donuts from Tim’s for 6$ off Too Good To Go. 12 donuts for 6$, all because they only sell baked goods the DAY they were made
This seems great for people who don’t have lots of money and can buy this food with big portions. Some of it may not be healthy, but it’s a good cause. Better than starving or throwing out unused food.
I'm sooo happy seeing that too good to go gets attention! ♥️Although I have the app, I don't really use it because most of the offers are to far away or can only be purchased when I'm busy 😭 None the less it helps with surplus foods and I'm already actively rescuing food with the organization 'foodsharing' So thank you so much for giving attention to and sharing about saving food ♥️❤️😍🙏
Just downloaded the app and a moderate selection of places in my area. A lot of coffee shops, a Mexican restaurant, and a healthy meal prep place. I'll be keeping my eyes open for the deals. Thanks for the recommendation!
the bakery i work at does these now, we’re supposed to pack each bag with $20 min of product each and i think they sell for like $7-8 which is insane value. granted a lot of it doesn’t have a long shelf life since fresh pastries are better enjoyed fresh but it’s food that would otherwise go to the trash and i think it’s a great way to get a little fun snack and try some new stuff without breaking the bank. plus you can get lucky and get something that might serve as a nice breakfast the next day or a little snack/treat tomorrow!
I've been using it for a couple of years now and would recommend going for specific boxes and not broader ones. A greens box or a bread box (or getting them from a bakery or grocer) is better than the magic boxes.
My only hang up over this would be my food allergies. I can't just randomly eat something. It's one thing if there's like sliced almond on top, but often things can have hazelnut in them without being visible from the outside. I'm also vegetarian and wouldn't want to eat anything that e.g. has gelatine in it. But otherwise that's a great idea!
I'm super late to the party here, but many supermarkets where I live do fruit&veg packages! I also don't eat meat and am quite a picky eater, so the complete mystery packages aren't really an option for me, but fruits and vegetables are generally just fine. Something like that might work for you too if it's available in your area!
We've been using this for years. We've found that if you tell the restaurant about your allergies when you do pickup, most times they'll swap in items that work for you.
Love TGTG we get the bakery bag for family occasions like trips to a summer house to supplement breakfast. I also get there fruit n veg bags often time are a total steal
i LOVE this idea!! i work at a small restaurant so we usually take stuff home or give it out for free but i know a lot of companies don't wanna do that so this is a good option
This is genius!!! I’m so excited about this. It breaks my heart to know how much goes in the trash. Quick question: any of it ever stale??? I just downloaded. I’m excited. Good food at a discount with less waste?!? Win-win-win
Youre a nutritionist!!! And you mentioned TGTG!!!!! Omg ❤😂🎉❤❤❤❤ I've been using them for 2 yrs now, so amazing what it offers and in such good condition! Tyty

Kroger stores in the US does this as well. The bakery items are usually close to expiration or a few days past.
Same in Argentina
Those are definitely Panera pastries, the fact that you got all of those for

It was founded by Ronni Kahn and Ozharvest trucks go around to supermarkets, restaurants and cafes, hotels, retailers, airports, etc and they collect wasted fruits/veggies, meats, cooked meals, pre packed items, dried foods, baked sweets, dairy,eggs and drinks. Once they have collected them they deliver the foods to charities to help people in need of fresh food. According to a 2018 post made by Ozharvest they repurposed and rescued 180 tones of food a week from 3,000 food donors, then they delivered it directly to 1,300 charity agencies.
I didn’t want to write a whole short story so I am commenting on my first post anyways, when Ronni (the founder of Ozharvest) was younger she wasted tones of food. When she got older she lost her father after a car accident. Then when she got even older she started to host tones of parties and noticed how much food waste there was after. In 2004 she started up Ozharvest and it is still going today all over Australia.
Omg Too good to go is in America now? Me and my family have been using it for years and we’ve always gotten great stuff
What country were you using it in?
Yes! It's in most major cities in the us in the start of the year.

I wish I could do these kinds of things but my allergies just don't make it safe 😢
hope more stores participate because the only options i have within a 50 miles radius are coffee beans and coffee beans only
This works very well in larger urban centres. Out in the sticks, not so much.
Here in Switzerland, loads of grocery stores also offer these surprise bags through too good to go! Fruit and veggies that are easily still usable for days for a couple bucks is such a good deal!
They dont have participating locations near me😢
Me neither 🥲
I had never heard of this app. I just signed up and was pleasantly surprised that the choices range from 3 Italian restaurants, 1 Indian, 1 vegetarian and 2 bakeries, within walking distance from my place. More choices if I feel like driving. I will be using this app soon. Thanks for doing this video.
Most supermarkets in the Netherlands participate in TGTG! Most have surprise bags, which can contain anything, vegetarian bags, which are self-explanatory, and bread bags, which contain, you guessed it, bread. They're a great way to save money, explore new produce, and save food!
So you're telling me you're gonna eat all those pastries
Ahihihihihihihi
I would
Do they give you an expiration date for the food and how long it’s been prepared?
It’s good for that day, and usually the day after.
I prefer this to restaurants throwing out food. It's a win win
If you don't have dietary restrictions it's a good train to hop on.
what about those with dietary restrictions? like allergies
Then the app isn't for you
Fun fact, it was started in denmark in 2016, it’s quite a few european countries. Glad to see it finally reaching america 🤗
Companies are making money off of food they would’ve thrown away anyway. They could also supply this food to homeless shelters and survivor shelters as well.. but there’s no money in that. At least it didn’t go in the bin!
Ik there's SO many ppl in need hopefully in the future they'll set a program for the needy as well but the innovation 💖 I'm living 🤩 i would scream inside knowing so many restaurants throw away good food because they weren't able to sell it all that day😩 🤧 this is so exciting ‼️
I know in the states it's different but where i live there aren't any permanent shelter to donate it to, so it would just get thrown away
At least like this people who are living in different conditions can buy a meal (often more) for the price of three water bottles
Reduce food waste,
increase blood sugar,
Decrease number of lower extremities
It's not like she's eating this in all one sitting. And having bread or anything sweet once in a while isn't going to hurt her. She clearly eats a balanced diet and is a healthy person
That brownie took me right back to the middle school cafeteria 🥲
i love this app! there's this really nice pastry shop/bakery near where i live but the food is a bit expensive (think £4-5 per little pastry, idk if this is cheap though i have no sense of money 😭😭) but i got a bag of around 6 or 7 cakes and things for about £5 and they were still pretty good :D
i know you’re just looking for new content to post and didn’t mean any harm but if you’re not struggling with money, please don’t buy those bags… as a student who’s struggling to buy food / eat three meals daily, it hurts to see youtubers/ wealthy people buy from too good to go because what you bought could have been bought by someone in need instead 😭
Respectfully you don't know her financial situation. secondly just because others might not have more money than her even though you have no idea how much she makes . She can do anything she wants. There's plenty of these bags from restaurants to go around
@@brooke9225 she literally works in a hospital + have 330k subscribers here. the youtube money she makes is definitely more than enough just by itself? how selfish you are 💀
@@sempiternels I'm not being selfish. You're being incredibly rude. If she wants to buy a cheap bag of food . She's entitled to.
@@brooke9225 rude because I’m stating facts?? you’re being ridiculous 💀 but yeah letting wealthy people benefit from students/low income people apps sure is the best thing ever lmfao
@@sempiternels it's not her fault others are poor. Maybe people in those situations should grow a pair and learn to get out of poverty on their own
I saw this app like 4 years ago and I looove the concept. However, I then realized that only two stores in my area are selling on TGTG, both bakeries. I catched myself frequently over the years, re-downloading the app and having to realize it's still the same shops 😭😭
Love your shorts. Hope to have time to watch more!
Great idea! Sadly my area in PA, USA has nowhere that does it. Bummer! Hope more people catch on and it expands. Would love to do this to reduce waste.
Daaaaaa#n... that looks good. Too good to go started here in Denmark, but the bags I've gotten here rarely looks that good
In love with the way she said T’gödt’go
Funny part, is that if you go to Starbucks any of those items, just one will cost you 5.99 so that's a win
I live in Sweden and I’ve had this app for a while and it’s amazing, there’s almost always extra food over after I’m done but who complains? It’s cheap and good for the environment
I love that this exists!
Apps like this are being more and more popular and I’m so happy about it.
Sometimes if I have time before work I’ll pick up a box of assorted donuts from Tim’s for 6$ off Too Good To Go. 12 donuts for 6$, all because they only sell baked goods the DAY they were made
This seems great for people who don’t have lots of money and can buy this food with big portions. Some of it may not be healthy, but it’s a good cause. Better than starving or throwing out unused food.
They don’t have any stores in my area 😢. Really hoping they expand to my area soon! This is such a great concept
Me and my mum love this app sm. We acc get so sad when we miss the option to buy smthing 😭😭
I'm sooo happy seeing that too good to go gets attention! ♥️Although I have the app, I don't really use it because most of the offers are to far away or can only be purchased when I'm busy 😭
None the less it helps with surplus foods and I'm already actively rescuing food with the organization 'foodsharing'
So thank you so much for giving attention to and sharing about saving food ♥️❤️😍🙏
Everything looks so delicious 😋 😍
Just downloaded the app and a moderate selection of places in my area. A lot of coffee shops, a Mexican restaurant, and a healthy meal prep place. I'll be keeping my eyes open for the deals. Thanks for the recommendation!
I use it very often in Norwegian supermarkets. It really depends on your luck, but it's always good to at least try to reduce food waste ❤️
the bakery i work at does these now, we’re supposed to pack each bag with $20 min of product each and i think they sell for like $7-8 which is insane value. granted a lot of it doesn’t have a long shelf life since fresh pastries are better enjoyed fresh but it’s food that would otherwise go to the trash and i think it’s a great way to get a little fun snack and try some new stuff without breaking the bank. plus you can get lucky and get something that might serve as a nice breakfast the next day or a little snack/treat tomorrow!
I've been using it for a couple of years now and would recommend going for specific boxes and not broader ones. A greens box or a bread box (or getting them from a bakery or grocer) is better than the magic boxes.
My only hang up over this would be my food allergies. I can't just randomly eat something. It's one thing if there's like sliced almond on top, but often things can have hazelnut in them without being visible from the outside.
I'm also vegetarian and wouldn't want to eat anything that e.g. has gelatine in it.
But otherwise that's a great idea!
I'm super late to the party here, but many supermarkets where I live do fruit&veg packages! I also don't eat meat and am quite a picky eater, so the complete mystery packages aren't really an option for me, but fruits and vegetables are generally just fine. Something like that might work for you too if it's available in your area!
We've been using this for years. We've found that if you tell the restaurant about your allergies when you do pickup, most times they'll swap in items that work for you.
I downloaded app but Kee forgetting to pick up my food. Lol. This is a reminder. Thanks
I’m canada there are apps that supermarkets put almost expired food on there. You can choose and it’s definitely helps
Love TGTG we get the bakery bag for family occasions like trips to a summer house to supplement breakfast. I also get there fruit n veg bags often time are a total steal
i LOVE this idea!! i work at a small restaurant so we usually take stuff home or give it out for free but i know a lot of companies don't wanna do that so this is a good option
Love it, sadly my German town is too small for it :( we got outdoor fridges in some places tho where people can put food they don’t want/need tho
This is so great! Fun way to try new food and limits food waste! Please try your best never waste food and help the environment! Xx
i have not actually seen this before if i had more money on a card and a more readily available card to make purchases on i would definitely do this
I'm saving this when the quarter starts up again, this sounds promising!!
I just ordered for pickup tomorrow, so excited!! Love this idea
This is genius!!! I’m so excited about this. It breaks my heart to know how much goes in the trash. Quick question: any of it ever stale??? I just downloaded. I’m excited. Good food at a discount with less waste?!? Win-win-win
Youre a nutritionist!!! And you mentioned TGTG!!!!! Omg ❤😂🎉❤❤❤❤ I've been using them for 2 yrs now, so amazing what it offers and in such good condition! Tyty
I literally get my weekly groceries with it!! For someone who barely has any cooking ideas its rlly helpful and cost saving and i like the surprise
AMAZING DEAL!!!
Just downloaded and placed an order for a cupcake store in my town. I can't wait!!
Yay, that’ll make your IBS better instantly
Never heard of this until today. Thank you for sharing!
i love TGTG and you can get some really nice meals out of costa/m&s plus a lot of independent cafe's take part as well!
We’ve been loving this for a bagel place near by! It’s so easy and we don’t have to pay full price for bagels!
