In the UK, there's so many apps like this. Meanwhile, in the US, people are getting arrested for dumpster diving, begging, etc for food....and the giant grocery shops would rather destroy food rather than give it to anyone for free....
Same in canada where I live. Even when u work at a restaurant or coffee shop, etc u aren't even allowed to bring home anything that Is leftover at close ..they make the employees throw it out instead of take it home
Sarah Grant at Victoria’s Secret they cut up the bras that are discontinued/returned/ can’t be sold so that no women in need can get them from dumpsters and wear them because it brings down the brand or something... fucking horrible
My husband used to work for Topps Market and the amt of food that would be thrown on daily was unreal! Although being on a tight budget, a few of the employees worked it out with him at a specific time to meet them at the back door and they would help him get foods for us that were going to the dumpster!!! My husband worked there til he was 71 yrs old as the $ was tight at the time!
Video idea: Jesse has to bake something BUT you're only allowed to give him verbal instruction without helping him and he can't look it up ahead of time
I worked in a independent restaurant that is taking part in the 2G2G food waste revolution. They send us stastistics from time to time, and we saved something like 10,000 meals over a couple months.
I work in hospitality and literally hate doing closing shifts because of how much food gets wasted. Luckily the place where I currently work gives food to the homeless but there is literally so much that has to go in the bin.
I just downloaded it to see what was about. Nearest place was 6 km away. Checked out a city I visit often and there was absolutely nothing. I love the idea of the app, because who doesn't like cheap food and preventing food waste, but it'd be great if more places got on board with it.
I‘m sure it doesnr hurt to ask your favorite food place close to you if they‘ve heard about the app :) maybe they would love to join but just havent heard about it!
my mom loves this app! here in Denmark (where the app is actually from) sooo many places have some type of offer on there. my mom always just gets so called “magic bags” from the grocery stores and it saves so much!
I can never understand when people can be like that 😂 honestly my favourite time is a Saturday night when everyone is asleep at 2am and I can just read or be productive or think about the world 😂
I work at a restaurant and the amount of food we waste is so sad and upsetting. And then thinking of all the waste other businesses have as well. I'm glad that this app is a thing where you live!
I live in the Netherlands and the app is also avaible where i live (The Hague, city centre) so i am lucky! I live on a very tight budget and his is a way for me to give myself a treat once in a while.....I love it!
Yes Grace. Thanks for showing people this app. maybe the more people that know about it, the more business will get involved. it'll definitely help reduce waste. im going to suggest it to the place i work at. we do all types of food and cater for alot of people
anyone else surprised with how much she manages at breakfast, for someone who struggles with eating any breakfast im so amazed/jealous with how much she can have at breakfast
Anna Olsenius I found it and downloaded it. Sadly there aren’t any locations near me but this will be very handy when I’m in town. Thank you so much :)
When I went to London for winter wonderland we went to cafe forty one for breakfast, I definitely didn’t expect it to be so fancy either 😂 the tofu scramble from there is so good!
Video ideas: - doing your astrological birth chart and seeing if it's accurate - trying to bake chorelywood bread at home - trying to make your own dress - making a recipe but you only know the method, not the ingredients or amounts
I live in central London and had this app for months too scared to try it, now I use this app at least 3 times a week - it’s amazing value! I either grab it on my way home from work, or sometimes on the way in. Some mystery bags have been enough food for the whole day, all for around £2.50 and fantastic quality if you choose the right places. Highly recommended, unless you’re a fussy eater, as you get really random stuff but I love that it’s a surprise.
One if the best vids ever! Absolutely loved this. I’d like to see you do more vids about reusing and recycling. Like your zero waste one. Loved that Not unique but I’d also like to see you do the 24 hours in my bathroom or in my car etc. Love to see what you’d do with your time. Keep the awesome videos coming grace
MeganLives if you don’t know some of them actually have a phone . And pretty sure you could get internet for free everywhere nowdays , at shop and restaurant etc .
Instant Like. I love that you tried out Too Good To Go. I've enjoyed it and tried out so many restaurants since I discovered it (even got some great beers in a shop through the app 😅) (And I adore you, Grace ❤️)
I used to work at Starbucks here in America and at the end of the night we could throw out upwards of 100 breakfast sandwhiches at a time (not EVERY night, but still). The fresh boxes could be anywhere from 5-10 since they go bad faster, but that was almost every night. Occasionally me and my coworkers would take stuff to a homeless shelter, and take food for ourselves. It was such a waste.
Grace, I just came across your channel and few days ago and I'm obsessed with your videos. You're so authentic, so kind, so funny and so down to earth. I'm really down at the moment and I swear your videos keep me company and make me laugh. Thank you so much!!
I’m literally so jealous of the yo sushi, whenever I go on the app it says it sold out the night before but whenever I look in the night for the next day, it doesn’t give me the option to order from yo sushi!
This video was really fun! I live in a very rural area that doesn’t really do this, but it’s a fab idea. I remember when I was a kid my friend’s mum worked as a dinner lady at the local high school, and would bring home all the unsold food she liked the look of at the end of her shift. I don’t know if she was allowed to or not, but it was that or let it go to the local pig farm (which is still better than throwing it away). It was always fun seeing what she brought home!
I'm just so happy thqt someone else gets equally excited as I do by cheap stuff when they got a good deal ahah! I'm always repeating way too many times like "wooooow, £5 for all of this - normally this would have been like £15" "wow i saved so much money" "wowwww such a bargain"
OMG back in June last year I was in London and used the app quite a lot! Its fricken amazing! discovered this greek restaurant thanks to that app and had such ammaaaaazing food for a low price and all the while preventing some food waste as you said, hopefully toogoodtogo will become more widespread cos If I lived in London id use it everyday haha
I am going to the UK in the spring and I might actually do this. It will save me and my travel companion some cash and stop food waste. Thanks for doing this video.
Karma is a similar App and if you become an Ambassador (which anyone can do) you can help the independent cafés to join and save the wasted food from them. The only difference is Karma, you can pick the items you save rather than get a surprise bag.
What a fabulous idea!!!! We live in a tiny town in America so I’m sure it’s not available to us but our daughter lives in a big city so I’m absolutely going to pass this info on to her! You are precious Grace.....just precious!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I have an idea for a video series thats actually partially inspired by your own video recently when you tried to overcome your homesickness. Its basically you trying out an activity that's far out of your comfort zone every other week or so. And it can be from both ends of the spectrum, so one week something like Paintball or a martial arts class, the next Ballet or a class on sushi making.
Video Idea: you go to a pottery painting place (I have one in my area called Art 4 Fun - can't recommend it enough)... and then subscribers give requests as to what they want to be painted on a piece of pottery and you do it to the best of your ability! Obvs either you keep it for yourself or the subscriber pays for it so they can keep it - or whatever! Another version of this could be taking a friend with you and they have a picture they want you to draw however they only give you verbal instructions as to what to paint!
This is such a fun video to watch! I am in the same situation as you; I live just outside a major city that has restaurants that participate in this app, (San Francisco), but my local restaurants don't. (Except for Peet's Coffee, good for them!) I do, however, work in the City, so I'm going to check out the app tomorrow while I'm at work and see if I can bring home food for dinner or the next morning for breakfast. It appears you were able to actually get some breakfast meals when the restaurants opened. I thought this was for leftover food at the end of the day, but I guess some just throw together a surprise bag and see if people will buy them early in the day? Anyway, thanks for the fun review. I watched The Drunk Bridesmaid's video about Too Good To Go in NYC. Then yours in London. Maybe I'll do one for San Francisco!
I am so glad that you did this video about this app, i downloadedbit last year and I wish it had more visibility because we must waste less food and it is such and amazing app!! Thank you grackle!!
Omg! You are so lucky to have the option of an app like too good to go. Here in Florida I have not seen an app for restaurants that offer this type of service for selling you the extra food that they might have😕😀😊 I really enjoy watching your videos.
I use tgtg cause I live in paris and there’s loads of supermarket ones here, I like them cause they usually give you random veg/ ingredients and make you think of different things to cook. But the last one I got was a giant bag of pain au chocolates, 2 loaves of white bread, two salami sandwiches, a pack of mash and a chicken and cheese salad. It was rather carb heavy! But you win some and you loose some with the mystery bags!!
i’m so happy that my local pizzeria gives free slices near the end of the day so they don’t waste it. they don’t care if you’ve paid for anything or not. if you ask me, i think that if you’d rather throw away the food than give it to somebody in need, you can tell your only priority.
video idea: try baking macarons (and then let your fam compare with bought ones and make them guess which ones are yours) or something like that (would LOVE to watch that) x loved this video by the way, I am too obsessed with too good to go but there aren't many participating restaurants in my area either :(

Yes or Papa Booth!!
Yess BA test kitchen style
i can feel him complaining about the way grace would explain literally anything!!
Look at Grace, staying away from home all by herself and not even commenting on it! So proud of your progress!
I was about to comment the same thing!! So proud
@Gee Powa wow what a funny person you are. go deal with your insecurities somewhere else
Wait... I'm new... is she struggling with agoraphobia?

I love these vids! It's so important to take away the stigma about reduced and leftover food! Esp. with the climate crisis rn xx
Hope Parsons-munn I agree!!!
I work in hospitality and literally hate doing closing shifts because of how much food gets wasted. Luckily the place where I currently work gives food to the homeless but there is literally so much that has to go in the bin.
Its so frustrating, I've had this app for the past year but there is no store near me. I would love to use it though
Same😫

My only place is a Toby Carvery. Booom
my mom loves this app! here in Denmark (where the app is actually from) sooo many places have some type of offer on there. my mom always just gets so called “magic bags” from the grocery stores and it saves so much!
Grace: *has just finished eating a huge breakfast*
Also Grace: "I can't wait to have lunch"
That sushi is called inari, it's wrapped in a sweet tofu skin thing
My fave too, they're sooo good. And so hard to find, not all sushi places do them
Mine too! So obsessed with them
I can't swallow them down fast enough either lol
The YSL model feels out of place with the fancy people.
I always forget she modeled haha
Is grace the type of person to wake up and just be so positive!!! Love that
I can never understand when people can be like that 😂 honestly my favourite time is a Saturday night when everyone is asleep at 2am and I can just read or be productive or think about the world 😂
im a 23 year old guy from Toronto, just letting you know i cant stop watching your vids they're like crack
i feel u on that one bro 😂😂😂
Grack
Lol same I watch one and then another
Hannah Angel ayyyyyyy😂😂😂
I'm a 32year old lady from Australia and same! The more I watch Grace, the more I love her! She is like crack😂😂
I work at a restaurant and the amount of food we waste is so sad and upsetting.
And then thinking of all the waste other businesses have as well. I'm glad that this app is a thing where you live!
Grace, where can I formally submit my boyfriend application? I don't want to clog up your business-related email. Cheers.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Been thinking the same
Cute
She is definitely super cute!
Cooking with a Riverford farm organic veg box delivery! They send all sorts of veg you don't usually get in the supermarket
our girl is out here creating and i'm loving it! thank you grace!
This is so clever. UK and Europe killing it again. This would never be a thing here in Australia.
I think I heard some from Australia say that it's available there
I live in the Netherlands and the app is also avaible where i live (The Hague, city centre) so i am lucky! I live on a very tight budget and his is a way for me to give myself a treat once in a while.....I love it!
Only den Haag really no other cities
I live in a small town in the netherlands, so unfortunaly hardly any stores on the app :(
“there’s this CARROT salad... which has ORANGE on it?????!!!”
oh grace
She means theres also the citrus fruit, orange, in it😂
Yes Grace. Thanks for showing people this app. maybe the more people that know about it, the more business will get involved. it'll definitely help reduce waste. im going to suggest it to the place i work at. we do all types of food and cater for alot of people
Grace you just SAVED my LIFE with this video!!! I love you soooooo much!
Clowny's Adventures ahhh hope you are fab 💓💗💜
Same
Video idea: you and your dad go head to head in a baking challenge, making everyday objects (disguised cakes)
anyone else surprised with how much she manages at breakfast, for someone who struggles with eating any breakfast im so amazed/jealous with how much she can have at breakfast
If you eat vegan, you do have to eat quite a bit to get enough food. Meat is calorically dense.
I wish we had an equivalent to this in my country. Seems like a great way to reduce food waste, support restaurants and save some money
Öhh look if you have the karma app! We do in Sweden!
Anna Olsenius I found it and downloaded it. Sadly there aren’t any locations near me but this will be very handy when I’m in town. Thank you so much :)
Have you tried to good to go? Because it is in many countriws
The American version of this app is called Food for All!
But only for Boston and NYC :/
I work in a large buffet restaurant I wish they’d do this. I know we throw away a tonne of food every night 😢
I always eat exactly when you upload, this is amazing to watch with my dinner ayyeaaa. And love the idea and love the food videos the most.
oh Gracks, you really haven't ventured enough into Asian food! Judging from your sheer amazement of some of your meals!!
It was really fun and nice to see too!

Grace : finishes breakfast
2 seconds later: I cant wait for lunch

ur videos honestly help me calm down (i can get very stressed) and i’m so thankful for u grace :)

Covent Gardens? I heard Noel Fielding pretends to be a shrew with Alex Horn out that way.
Yes QUEEN! I love that she's promoting a reducing-waste app!
Grackle, 2020 is doing you good, getting out of those comfort zones, it seems like you're not bothered at all staying away from home! love it :)

The pocket thing that you ate with the sushi is called ‘inari’ and is made out of soy beans. Kind of like a sweet tofu
This was such a cool idea for a video. Thanks so much for being awesome.
I'm just so happy thqt someone else gets equally excited as I do by cheap stuff when they got a good deal ahah! I'm always repeating way too many times like "wooooow, £5 for all of this - normally this would have been like £15" "wow i saved so much money" "wowwww such a bargain"

I actually Live By this app omg every day i try and fight for the magic bags my local morrisons sell
jasmine • what time do you find the best I keep missing it !
@@lisax4186 in my area its usually around 6:15pm every day that they refresh!

‘we got a vegan box’ *holds up the fish one*
11:50 i believe that is an "inari sushi". its tofu stuffed with rice. Love your videos Grace!
This is such a helpful tip for people who want to travel to London!

Love this video and your channel! Interesting and genuine and funny content whilst learning how to be frugal and healthy
8:38 she is beauty, she is grace
I love these video can’t wait to watch it. It’s nice to see influencers addressing how much food is wasted and how we can stop wasting so much. X
I am so glad that you did this video about this app, i downloadedbit last year and I wish it had more visibility because we must waste less food and it is such and amazing app!! Thank you grackle!!
I've literally had this app for years and never used it because theres nothing close to me 😫😥
Great idea! This app should be available worldwide
Omg! You are so lucky to have the option of an app like too good to go. Here in Florida I have not seen an app for restaurants that offer this type of service for selling you the extra food that they might have😕😀😊 I really enjoy watching your videos.
Grackle thank you so much, I so need one of your videos right now, feeling so stressed out today and fed up, but know this will help!
Really enjoyed it. A surprise bag, couldn't wait to see what good stuff was in it. I hope you do another one of these next time you're in London.
In Leeds, Supermarkets do magic boxes. You usually get fresh produce and anything going off.
I was just waiting for you to upload a video
Marisa O'Neill sameeeee
Just was thinking when is Grace going to upload another video then Bam
I love your videos, they’re always brilliant & so enjoyable !
VIDEO IDEA - You should get your family to create a mystery basket either sweet or savoury and you have to create a dish from it
I love all your video ideas and content! Fave youtuber x
Anyone think Grace’s homemade bangs look really good?! Like Yas girl 🥰💗
We need this everywhere.
I love that concept, good eye grace for finding and trying it out !!
That little pocket is inari, which is a little marinated, fired tofu bag thing. Honestly my favourite thing to eat in all the world
Grace you are so funny. This is a great app/service/idea! It seems so simple, I hope more places start doing it.
“ my pall Taz” WHAT A FLEX
Video idea: pancake day, what’s the best pancake, blind test
I use tgtg cause I live in paris and there’s loads of supermarket ones here, I like them cause they usually give you random veg/ ingredients and make you think of different things to cook. But the last one I got was a giant bag of pain au chocolates, 2 loaves of white bread, two salami sandwiches, a pack of mash and a chicken and cheese salad. It was rather carb heavy! But you win some and you loose some with the mystery bags!!
Fun unique idea: coordinating outfits with meals? Only eating (insert culture) food? Only eating foods that look like other foods?
Video idea: a week of braided hairstyles. Silvousplaits has a great channel regarding doing interesting braids.
Or, taking horse riding lessons.
Aww was hoping for another one of your 'how to spread marmite' tutorials for all of the 'we tried British food' vloggers 🙈
11:50 that is tofu skin and it's rice inside it (if u are wondering)
Yaaas Grackle, get that stigma decreasing 😍 L O V E T H I S
i’m so happy that my local pizzeria gives free slices near the end of the day so they don’t waste it. they don’t care if you’ve paid for anything or not. if you ask me, i think that if you’d rather throw away the food than give it to somebody in need, you can tell your only priority.
been waiting all day for this lol. you're so funny n genuine Xxx
in cambridge the waffle place at the market gives TWO waffles n i dont think theres a limit of how many they do
yessss been waiting for you to do this!! They do it in other countries too, was a life saver in Paris which is normally v v expensive
video idea: try baking macarons (and then let your fam compare with bought ones and make them guess which ones are yours) or something like that (would LOVE to watch that) x loved this video by the way, I am too obsessed with too good to go but there aren't many participating restaurants in my area either :(
Loved this video. Interesting and relevant content. Well done yet again Grace!
