Switzerland ,June 1,2026…Today, I want to share my experience using Too Good To Go, an app in Switzerland with a brilliant concept to reduce food waste while helping us grab delicious food at pocket-friendly prices. This app acts as a matchmaker between “stores with surplus food each day” and “consumers looking for tasty, budget-friendly meals.”
The absolute highlight of Too Good To Go is that you never know 100% what is inside your bag. It entirely depends on what the store has left over from its counter that day. Think of it as a “Surprise Bag”— it is super fun and exciting to guess what you are going to get!!
Just to be clear, although the price is slashed by 60-70% off the retail price, the food is still high quality, clean, safe, and delicious. It’s simply unsold items from that day, not someone’s leftovers.
Personally, I think this app is a massive Win-Win-Win for everyone.
Consumers: Get to enjoy premium food, pastries, or groceries from popular spots at incredibly low prices;
Stores: Do not have to throw away food for nothing, recover some of their costs, and get a chance to introduce their shop to new customers; and
Environment: Helps reduce greenhouse gases, as food waste dumped in landfills is a major culprit behind methane emissions.
In conclusion: I am definitely ordering again tomorrow!
