Overview

• The Too Good To Go app offers mystery bags of surplus or soon-to-expire food from outlets like hotels, bakeries and supermarkets at roughly one-third of regular prices.
• In a Holiday Inn Express self-test, a €4 pickup window allowed self-selection of hot and cold breakfast items, yielding a generous variety.
• A €3.50 bag from bakery chain Kamps contained half a loaf of bread, six rolls and two pastries.
• A €3.50 mystery bag at Turkish supermarket Karadag featured produce including apples, pears and five bunches of parsley, illustrating inconsistent value.
• The reviewer praised the app’s impact on food waste and savings but warned that limited daily supplies mean many bags sell out by the evening before.
