Too Good to Go - Food App

Where was that? €5 for two pasties is scandalous, even in Dublin.

that’s three times in a row .

no notice , and luckily I hadn’t set out , first time I was actually in the shop when he cancelled it, second time I was on the way there.

they fleece the shops per bag unless they’re a big operator like Aldi and they sell to us even when the shops let them know they’re not open at that time. A better system but still not perfect is olio , this one is just aimed at too good to go to make bigger profits, planet environment bedamned. Food cloud is a good system but you have to have some kind of charitable status to apply for the food and even they have a system now for charging end users, and suppliers, and yet they employ volunteers and receive donations of both food and money.

I applied to work as a driver for Food cloud but wax told unless I was able and willing to carry heavy weights ie 20-30 kg at a time, I wasn’t considered. When I pointed out that even their current drivers used handtrolleys they were adamant about the physical conditions , thus cutting out most women from the job unless they’re were already bodybuilding regularly.

Has TGTG got rid of dynamic pricing or are they just less upfront about it? One place I used to go to had it, but not it’s not mentioned on their listing.

They've had the fridge section and break basket thing in my local Aldi for a few months now.

I hate the fridge section, 50% off what exactly?!

There are no prices on the shelves for those products 🤨

Same with bakery stuff, you've to go looking for prices

Last Aldi I'll order. Leaky rotten fruit n veg which I've never got before, packaging accidentally opened (from being thrown around the reduced fridge area I'm guessing), sweet stuff which rack up the 12e quickly, no meat/meal.

This is why I have not tried the Aldi offer, better to choose from the shelf, in my local they remove from the shelf around 9pm.

right from the gate it’s been a moneymaking scheme and some shops it’s a way to get you in the door. Olio is a far fairer system but very hard work and often waste of fuel on those who collect . Yes in uk and other countries maybe it works because the shops understand it’s a way to reduce their waste rather than resenting people getting food free,

Having issues myself with gone off veg the last 2 boxes, fully rotten tomatoes etc. Got refunds but they did make it awkward with needing loads of pics and multiple emails

Have you got it in writing where they said if 50% of the food is usable they think it's ok?

I'd love to see that. That's basically giving users of the app food waste that they have to pay to dispose of which is crazy to me

"However, the concept emphasizes utilizing these items in every possible way to minimize waste. I also acknowledge that, on occasion, the quality of the fresh items may not meet expectations due to errors or limited availability.

In order to help us assist you further could you please provide a few additional details?

~Did you manage to rescue and revitalize more than half of the food?

Kind regards,"

I answered back, no, less than 50% was salvageable, again asked for list of what I got n which items went straight in the bin. I said I would do a chargeback. Eventually got a full refund just there.

I popped in yesterday to my Aldi as passing at 6.30pm to research and fridge 25% full of 30% left. Funny enough loads of sweaty those cheap tomato bags. Odd ball mix of things, 20 cookie dough rolls etc. The tgtg boxes tonight will be cancelled or suffer. I do believe the fault is with Aldi though which is such a shame.

The same thing happened with Lidl 3e veg box, I complained once in lidl about a 18 mths ago as 8 boxes made up with extremely little in them, manager got so mad, she put 3 into another one x 2, still box not half full, myself and next customer bought them both. Haven't bothered since then.

I have to say its amazing how six months ago I basically got bullied out of this thread for giving out about TGTG and the fanboys all had a love in for a while and posted a few bags, then it dried up.

Its now down too, Circle K seem to have a monopoly on it, then Applegreen and Spar/Mace, by and large meaning deli stuff you can try and heat in an oven and then do some chips for a cheap dinner thats only OK.

Twice now ive been in Aldi, the new setup is so much better, crates beside at the top of the fruit and veg, I got 50% off chopped turkey breast and then stewing beef, both well in time for a dinner if I wanted.

A shame as when you can get something like a James Whelan bag but then thats too few and far between and TGTG seem non too worried and even defend places abusing their system.

Oh and dont get me started on dynamic pricing, I had it with a coffee owner once, pretending he just signed up and dint know about it, if you play the waiting game and the place is close you go from E8 down too E4.

The two times I got it they where just sitting in the veg crates but then I think it's older Aldi as none of the fridges have doors

That was 8 and obviously went down as got nearer collection so someone got it

So less upfront aka sneaky
