In France it’s against the law to send food to landfill. Waste food has to be greatly reduced or given away free. I think it’s called ‘anti gaspi.’ I think that would be a good law to have here.

We just got back from a week trip to London and we used the “too good to go” pretty much for all our food. It was perfect for on the go eating and we could collect from areas we were sightseeing in. Some places were better then others for sure.

Freeze on the day anything which can be frozen. When ready to use your frozen items, defrost overnight & eat the next day. I've been doing this reduced food for approx 6-yrs... I don't need the TOO GOOD TO GO APP. I've saved approx £30,000 over 6-yrs to feed my family. ...Oh, I only shop at supermarkets within walking distance, as this doubles-up as my regular walking exercise to keep me nice & slim after the cakes I occasionally guzzle 😋😋

To be fair, use by date does not mean you can't eat it afterwards. It's merely a suggestion to when the food reaches the "end" of it's supposed freshness. Food that surpasses that date can still be eaten with no problems. You just need to check it to make sure it's alright. Just giving it a little sniff and looking for mold or other unpleasant things does the job. And if it tastes funky it can go to the bin. But other than that you can enjoy it with no problem!

Great video! Thank you for your experiment. The only thing I would disagree with is the idea of the best by date. Let's be honest- the food is not going to "magically" become inedible as soon as the best-by date comes up. I think most people probably eat foods past the best by date in their own homes because most people probably don't check the best by date Foods once we buy it. My thing is just use good common sense. It's a food seems to still be good then enjoy.

This app has really helped me out as a student I get to have something to eat and it doesn't hurt my pockets

Very impressed you were able to interview manager from Too good to go, I totally support this app. Thanks to you and TGTG f to bring awareness among people to save food & fight against food waste.. I know, especially in my country (India) and people around the world do not get a proper meal to eat, we are blessed to have good food from Costa, M&S, Greggs , Pret A Manger etc etc to buy food at a reasonable good price.. Thank you God bless.

I know he was worried about the use by dates, but most of this stuff freezes nicely. Day 1: Groceries: You can freeze that meat. Costa: Sandwiches like that are usually fine after their use by date. I would freeze the bacon roll, and sausage & onion chutney toasties, and eat the beanz and cheese toastie day of. Day 2: Greggs: Eat the ham salad baguette day of, and freeze the rest. M&S: Freeze the chicken rolls masala, Yorkshire puddings. Eat the pasta salad, and cheese and onion sandwich day of. Day 3: Freeze the bread and pastries. Day 4: Co-Op: That did suck about the clearance thing. Anyways, freeze the Warburtons loaf, potato cakes, ham & cheese sandwich, and Hoison duck wrap. Eat the tuna Mayo sandwich and fries day of.

Love Too Good To Go, been using it for a couple of years now, also started using Olio in the last few months, picked up some great things!

A loaf of bread bought on its SBD is split into 4-lots if I don't need it all at once... I stick it in the freezer & get out however much I need the next day. This saves me throwing away stuff which could turn mouldy.

This app is FANTASTIC! I have already saved €215 in the first week! Imagine what that will be in a year!!!

Thanks Which. I just made a donation to a food bank. I have had trouble with Too Good to Go with the travel and timings.

Good lord. You act the the food is going to explode when it reaches the expiration date. You’ll be fine

Me, I have bought bread at supermarket for 16p and expiry day after and 3 or more days later and still good.. If kept in cold or cool environment it will keep a few days. I use To Good to Go once and not bad but most times are when I am working or late in evening when I am already home but will keep trying it. Since watching video may give Olio a try as sometimes you don't need a full shop but just a few things for now or a couple of days.

I really like using the app when i am travelling with kids. It makes food shopping easy and they love the surprise.

I think it would be worth a follow up to this with togoodtogo being so much more now, especially with supermarket doing grocery bags as well as the tasty treat stuff :)

If they could guarantee bags that r vegetarian or halal, the app would be top tier

Production value is awesome! Way to go man 💥

i recently found an app like this. If its same day expiration i usually freeze it or give it to another friend but usually even a couple days after even though they cannot sell it it will be fine for a lil bit in the fridge

you cant fully rely on it because its quite random but its a large supplement of your food expenses and adds and element of surprise to your cooking and meals. Likely saving thousands using too good to go at this point or grocery store leftover programs.

My argument with t2tg is that is absolutely nowhere on the app to put in your food allergies 😢 then even if it is food waste it could be left out or put in a separate container for someone else

I’ve used both toogoodtogo and Olio and much prefer Olio because you too good is pretty much just bread in my area!

OLIO Rocks! A true food waste reducing app :)

Shitloads of carbs, not for me. But apart from that, great idea.

In the to good to go app you can put your settings on vegetarian and so on. So this should not be an issue

I agree that the Coop offers very poor value ( probably because its more expensive in the first place !).

having food that is past its "Use By:" date is totally fine. it will be good for days after. the use by date is only a guideline

Hi, it was nice video. Can you also give an idea how much was spent on travel to collect the items?

Use by dates are rubbish. Ignore them.

The greggs ones up north are insane

Really really great interview. Oddly relaxing.

I encountered the problem of paying more for my reduced food than if I had bought it at the discount price at Aldi. I have also encountered the do gooders doing bad by grabbing all the discount stuff at the supermarket depriving others. Frankly, they are a nuisance.

Shame, it's always junkfood 😢

It sucks that I’ve only seen it work in California

Often get Toby Carvery on a sunday. Absolute bargain

Great idea but no good for me as a low carber.

1 big bug bear, is the amount of plastic used !! all the meals i usually get come in plastic containers, which will end up in landfill! oh one other thing, maybe i´m to blame, if youre on holiday and you happen to pick up a too good to go meal, there wont be any cutlery. I sadly had to buy plastic knives+forks. So a warning always come prepared.

Food doesnt know what day it is. You can assess and eat after date if you are wise...

To Good to Go is just bread in Colchester. I've just had a Toby large breakfast which was advertised as £7.99 and it was a tin child's portion worth about £2.79 which is what I paid on the app the night before. Total waste of time and fuel to drive there. Zero saving , zero convenience and no help to the environment.

The shop sold me a bag... then cancelled just before collection. Reason given no extra food! 😢

Tried good to go today for breakfast and a bag from asda brilliant

Love the concept - GREAT video!!

Can you say freezer?

eat recycled food it's good for the environment, and ok for you

I think Too Good To Go has vegetarian bags now as well

One thing, you said you saved around 95 quid, but what about transport cost? the trains arent free!

What's the best bargain you've seen on these apps?

I love bread 🍞

what do you do when you turn up at the shop and get stiffed ie they say we dont have anything left over? has happened to me twice.

Good th video mateth

Paid 5.3 pounds expected a full meal at a turkish restaurant but they gave ma a half filled box of random shit. First experience was def not good

imagine if food was made to order instead

This concept is flawed. Only works for people who eat nearly everything. Also many people abuse this app....

£40 buys a LOT of FRESH food for 1 person.......example for £10 one can buy a full chicken ,2 loafs, a bag of spuds, a butter, a pizza, a packet rice and a tin of chilli con carne ! i know its not good for the enviroment bus jus sayin. saves £30 ! and i defy any one person to eat ALL THAT in a week

You're overly picky and expecting too much

Amount of packaging used for those food items is a lot. My mum home cooked foods taste batter healthier less plastic waste and food waste too. British people are too lazy to even peel and cut onions

YOU WASTED MORE THAN EVER ......LOL ....did your really eat 6 sandwich in 2 days ..3 bags lettuce .. ...thought not ......Sell you a bag of whatever makes them money that how it works ....your throwing more food out this way than if you brought things you wanted in reduced ......This app is horrible ......

Food for new digital poor people

I tried co-op too good to go, absolute rubbish.
