Have you ever heard of Too Good to Go? It's an interesting concept; I like it. Not the idea of avoiding food waste


not really, at least


but more so the idea of paying less for regular food, just after some time.

I ordered a surprise bag today. I'll go pick it up in just over an hour. Hoping it'll be nice!

Apparently I'm a poweruser haha

I mostly use the app for fancy sweet pastries nowadays. They don't really go stale like bread does, and I kinda appreciate that I get a random one and don't have to make a decision on which to get.

Also, pro tip for anyone who comes across this! If you're aiming to snipe a specific bag, don't waste your time by refreshing your list of favourite bags by swiping down to get the little refresh animation. It's deceptive, the list itself is actually cached and does not refresh in real time. Instead, refresh by clicking on the listing for the bag you want and then click your back button to go back and forth. Opening the listing does load the real time state of the bag!

Wow, that's a lot of money. Also, Pythot? Like a Python thot? Hilarious.

Thanks for the tip!

This is really cool, surprised I haven't heard of it yet. It looks like it hasn't blown up too much yet either. Does anyone have experience with hot food? It seems like a lot of local restaurants are on here so what about something like the whole foods bag?

[–] gon@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Have never ordered hot food myself, sorry, I've only ever gotten pastries and bread. It's been a pretty good deal, at least for that.

Why not give it a try? Go for a cheap one!
