susandennisThis 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!

Date: 2022-09-21 03:22 pm (UTC)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.
