Tag: discounted leftovers

You've never fought to buy anything? You're definitely not from Germany. The stinginess of Germans is legendary in our country for some reason. Actually, nationality doesn't matter, people like freebies. And Germany has it.

«Too good to go» is an app through which you can buy groceries at a huge discount. For 3-4 Euros the service offers:

• breads, pastries, sandwiches from bakeries.
• vegetables, fruits, dairy products from supermarkets and organic stores
• ready meals from office canteens, cafes and restaurants

How does it work? You don't choose here. No, you choose what you want to buy: bread, vegetables, dairy products or ready-to-eat food, as well as the seller and where to pick up your purchase. And then you get lucky. Spoiler: it's usually lucky.

For example, you bought vegetables from a biomarket for 4 euros. You will know the contents of your purchase when you receive them. What's for sure? Rotten, moldy, shriveled or battered fruit.

Or you live near a bakery. Bakeries in Germany do not sell yesterday's bread. So feel free to buy baked goods through the service. The bag will contain what was not sold during the day.

Of course, it's not that simple. You still have to fight for kits from good suppliers. Because of the high demand, offers are put out at different times. And even if you manage to catch what you want, booking and payment must be made lightning fast. It's a matter of seconds.

You think only the poor and stingy use the service? Not at all. You enter the app and realize that by buying here you are doing the noblest of deeds.

First, you're saving products that would otherwise likely be disposed of.

Secondly, you can help local organizations in need with money. If you leave an extra 1 Euro on your purchase, you are a superhero.

Anyway, thanks for the info (comments, likes), save money and save the world.
