  • Hi Luxe Minds community! This week I'm talking about this awesome app called Too Good To Go! I'm not sponsored or affiliated with this company in any way. I'm just passionate about their mission to reduce food waste in the world. I tried it out on three different locations in NYC and was shocked by the results! Check it out and let me know what you think?

      no, this must take off. there's just too much food being thrown out. every day i walk home in nyc, i see all these clear garbage bags with bread and bagels being thrown out of stores and diners that closed for the day. this should never be.

    We use the app since december 2019. It is in Holland since 2018. So we use it a good year. And we go to the baker and the lidl. You also can to a supermarket. You pay for the box from Lidl 2,99. You get leftover veggies and fruits. And the baker is 4.99 we get at least 3 breads and a pie or sandwhiches. and sometimes buns. Or everything when you order 2 boxes. And they are pretty expensive when you buy then seperated. So I buy sometimes 2 depends what your get on bread and extra pies and sandwhiches. The lidl is something we get twice a week. We cook a lot and we eat a lot of fruit and my daughter is more a fruit eater then a veggie eater. But still i cook veggies for the family and we save a lot of money. The only thing i dont buy is from the supermarket because i dont own a car. And the gas station the boarders are closed.

    @Luxe Minds: Thank you for making and sharing this video. I had saw commercials about good to go and I was glad to see a review video.
    NY is an expensive state when it comes onto some things, especially NYC. Some of the prices they charge for food and fun is ridiculous. Sometimes I feel like we as the residents are paying for the name NYC and the fact that it is a popular tourist borough.
    It was a shame to see that the only thing the restaurant gave you was dessert. I was expecting to see food. Like an entree and a side. But I would be lying if I said I was surprised. After all it is NY and the city at that.
    Sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the pizzeria food. I felt like it made up for the restaurant. I was happy to at least see meals and two at that.
    That was very sweet of you to give away some of the things to the poor people.🙂

    • @moneymindss
      @moneymindss  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you for watching! They've been adding new places every day with more options. Try it out and see how it works out! I think the groceries were most worth it for me personally. NY is definitely overpriced across the board but I guess that's the downside to living in one of the most popular cities in the world!

    I'm obsessed with the app at the moment. We just had our first chain go live this past month in Missouri. I've gotten 9 bags so far. I love to cook, but I've been enjoying having some time off and spend less money than normal. I hope more companies come on board. This was 2 years ago, are you still using this app?

    not only does it produce less food waste, but it helps prevent price hikes since they are still making money instead of throwing it down the drain.

    • @moneymindss
      @moneymindss  3 роки тому +1

      oh no! I know it's gained a lot of popularity so they might be selling out quick since places typically only offer 5 bags. I would have to book the night before or even the morning before in advance. Sorry to hear about your experience - hopefully, more places join and there are more chances to book something.
