well, it's a website for an app-based service, but I still think it deserves recognition.

TooGoodToGo helps fight food waste by letting you pick up packages of discounted food nearing its expiration date from local businesses: https://toogoodtogo.com/

Wow, this is excellent! I was sort of wondering whether the leftover bread and pastries from the shop nearby got donated or something, but apparently they and the little supermarket next to them are both listed in the app and sell their leftovers at 6.30 each morning to anyone who wants them. This could end up being dangerous (loads of pastries for less than two euro for the lot)!

It's a shame that it only seems to have taken hold in certain areas in Germany. I.e. not in either of mine.

Might be worth telling your local shops about it, maybe they just don't know this exists. When I told my mother about the app she liked it so much she talked to a bunch of local shops she's a regular at and a couple of them joined afterwards.

I vote on this one, in Portugal itโ€™s a really good one to use.
