#BlogLife946 - Too God To Go food waste app

I didn't really know what this app was all about until I was watching the foodie videos and vlogs.

I think it's worldwide and it's stores selling off the excess of their stock for a fraction of the retail cost.

It sounds good but you have to collect it and some of the rigid times are late in the evening...

Sometimes there is just a half an hour window. I think that's silly, people have schedules.

It's almost like saying, we resent making less money but if you catch us at the right time like 11pmish at night, you'll get a deal.

I don't have a car and don't see well at night, so those aren't tailored towards me.

However I've seen some places like Pret on there and that was collectable just after lunchtime.

I should point out that the amount of bags they have is limited, I have seen 1, 3, 5 and you just click on reserve.

You then add your payment card details when you checkout, I don't think paypal is an option.

It's not straightforward but I could get to Pret. It's not cheap but for example, it's worth £15, but you pay £5.

There's no details, it states a sandwiches and baguette lunch. I wonder if you can have preferences, like I don't eat red meat, so if I got pork, duck or lamb products that is a waste of money..

Oh that's not helpful. It has a section called dietary preferences, but all it has is vegan, veggie, I eat everything, why can't it have a comment bit..

I was hoping Tesco, Asda and Greggs would be there. There's actually more places than I thought, some supermarkets, lots of restaurants but none of them easy to get too.

So far it's just Pret. I did see some other apps, when I googlied. I wonder if they are better?

I just thought if I could save some money, here and there, it would be good.

Next time I am in the Market, I will have to see what is within walking distance to me.

I tried Karma but it's not available in my area, so that was useless.

Let's try Too Tasty To Waste It. Ugh oh, server issues, try again later ha. (24 hours later, no access). It didn't load once so I uninstalled it.

I was looking up the addresses of a few places but still not sure where they are located.

However I discovered a bakery that is right next to the pedicure salon and that does cakes and other goodies, which could be handy, if the collection time works.

I'm normally out mornings or early afternoonys, so later than that would not be feasible.

I bet Mama's place just off the high street, has loads more stores participating.

I doubt I can use the app, til about October but it depends when the buses are running properly, if they extend it again, I won't have the energy to walk to these places.

I can give an updated review experience then. Oh something else they offer is a bulk buy delivery thing but it doesn't seem that reasonable.

I guess if you have a big family or buying for presents or Christmas or a party and you have lots of cash, maybe but for individuals, it doesn't appeal.

Iceland had more new things so I am enjoying sampling them, out of my normal purchases.

I can't remember what offers were going, quite a few and also some Whitworth dates £1.25.

It's been ages since I had dates, used to quite like them, let's see if I still do?!

Something else I am curious about is the limitations. Like if there is 5x bags available, can you get them all?

Not that I would do that, what if you got excess of the same thing which you disliked??
