This morning,my Twitter feed led to an article about apps that point people to restaurants and grocery stores with good food they have left over.

I found the TooGoodToGo app. Signed up. Told it I wanted to pick up 5 miles from my house in the mornings, mid day or afternoons and BAM!

I found out that Asia Bar-B-Cue says come on in between 10-5 and for $6 we'll fill your container. SOLD.

I drove the 2.4 miles, found a 'passenger loading' parking spot a half block away and went in. The nice guy filled my container and even gave me choices "you want pork?" "yes, please" "you want spicy?" "no thank you" rice and noodels and an egg roll. SIX fucking bucks!! And look at all this!

Also the Met - a fancy fancy grocery in West Seattle is on the app, too for their prepared foods (which are always way good - it's where I get my Thanksgiving dinner every year).

I'm going to be using this app A LOT!

Haha, that was the app I mentioned a while back that Petit Pierre bakery uses for their left-overs.

I didn't realise TGTG was international! I've been signed up to it for a while now. Only a couple of places do it here, given that I live in a small town, but every so often it comes up trumps. A massive pizza for about £3, for a start!

Ooh - that is cool!

I downloaded the app - in a 10 mile radius there is ONE lonely cafe that participates - they apparently have 'surprise bags' - but all of the available bags for today have been taken already!

That is amazing! I think I saw that on Twitter, I thought what I saw was for groceries though, how interesting!

Nothing near me when I was in Federal Way and now nothing out here. I'm sad but will keep it downloaded for trips into Chicago.

I have tried that app and found that locally it is very hit or miss. I have not seen a 'fill your container' option anywhere around here. One place sold me a meat egg and cheese sandwich with (gag) grape jelly on it, and I'm pretty sure it sat from breakfast until 4 pm. Straight to the trash and a bad rating from me. The best was a big tub of pea soup plus 6 extra large chocolate chip cookies from another spot. Pre-inflation prices were about $4.99 a pop.

I stopped using the app after I ordered on two separate occasions and then forgot to pick the food up before closing time. I would use the app again, but very cautiously.
