With energy bills having gone up hugely and general costs of living continuing to spike, we've all been trying to find ways to save cash recently. The skyrocketing cost of fuel, National Insurance rises, and the price increases in supermarkets are making things difficult right now, and have made many of us more keen on finding the best deals out there.
While I don't proclaim to be anything close to perfect when it comes to minimising my environmental impact, I try my best to keep food waste as low as possible. So it came as a welcome surprise, during the first lockdown, when I heard about the Too Good to Go app.
If you've not come across it before, Too Good to Go works by connecting customers to restaurants, supermarkets and cafes in their area that have an unsold surplus of food. By going on the app, you can find a huge range of places near where you live that offer food at cut prices throughout the day. You pay in advance - it normally costs one third of the original price of the items - and collect your 'magic' bag at a certain time.
