Too Good to Go Oslo

Save the delicious unsold buns!

""Too Good to Go" is an app in Oslo where you can go pick up unsold produce in a surprise bag from bakeries, juiceries, cheese shops and more!"

Have you every wondered what happens to all the lovely food from the bakery or from the hotel breakfast buffet that doesn't get sold? Well now there is a way to get your hands on some of that yummy produce while simultaneously reducing food wastage - it's a win win!

Too Good to Go is an app where various vendors list up their excess produce for consumers to reserve and come pick up, all for a very friendly price. I tend to log on a couple of times a week to check what is available. Favourites of mine include the bakery Baker Hansen, a juicery, and the cheese shop at Mathallen. They quite simply make a "surprise bag" of whatever hasn't sold at the end of the day and you reserve and pay through the app for pickup later, it couldn't be simpler!

I am a huge fan of this concept and love to see that more and more cafes, restaurants and even grocery stores are joining up.

Pro-tip - If you happen to be in town later in the afternoon or evening then you can use your location on the app to find everything nearby and do a swoop!
