Too Good to Go 

TooGoodtoGo is an app that connects you with local restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores that are selling their unpurchased items for 1/3 of the price. Use the app to explore stores and restaurants in your local area and save surprise bags of surplus food from going to waste at a great price.

Imperfect Foods

Imperfect Foods is a low-cost option to buy fruits and vegetables for 30-50% less than the grocery store. They source 'ugly' fruits and vegetables that usually go to waste on farms. These fruits and veggies taste the exact same on the inside but look a little 'wonky' on the outside. Customers can choose which fruits and vegetables they would like in their box each weeks and have it delivered to them.
