This App Offers Cheap ‘Surprise’ Meals In Tampa Bay
There’s an app for everything these days. Even for finding cheap and ready-made meals in your area. And unlike the UberEats or DoorDash app, there are no ridiculous fees for your food. Sound to good to be true? Well let me tell you about the Too Good To Go app, which I recently discovered is a game changer for last minute meals or snacks.
Before I get started, let me point out that this is not an ad for the Too Good To Go app. They didn’t pay us to write this post. But I’ve talked to multiple people in the area that say they’ve never heard of it, so I wanted to share the knowledge.
Too Good To Go was founded in 2016 in Copenhagen to fight food waste. In 8 years, the company has grown to over 90 million registered users and 155,000 active business partners across 17 countries in Europe and North America. Too Good To Go’s focus is to help save good food from going to waste. It’s a win-win for everyone. Businesses can earn additional revenue from surplus items that would be thrown away, customers can enjoy great food at a low-cost value, and we’re all helping protect the environment!
What You Can Get On The Too Good To Go App In Tampa Bay

So how does it work? Most of the bags have a set time window when you can pick up, usually at the close of the day: afternoons for bakeries or late at night for pizzerias or the few participating restaurants. All you have to do is reserve your bag at your business of choice and pick it up at the reserved time.
The thing is, you never know what you’re going to get. You could get a whole meal of jerk chicken, rice and cabbage for $5.99 from Jerk Hut. Or you can get a few donuts from a local bakery or even Krispy Kreme. Even grocery stores like Whole Foods offers ready to eat items like premade meals, soups, salads, and other items that may be at their sell-by date.
A variety of Tampa Bay businesses are on the TGTG app. But know that you’ll mainly find doughnut shops, bakeries, panaderias, bagel shops, and the occasional pizzeria. There’s even a Reddit thread of people’s reviews of the surprise bags they got in the Tampa Bay area.
Here are some Tampa Bay businesses you can find on the app:
- Krispy Kreme
- Kahwa Coffee
- Blind Tiger Cafe
- Slice of the Burg
- Moonlight Boba
- Terra Mar Brazilian Steakhouse
- The Crumb Factory Bakery
- Peach Cobbler Factory
- Jerk Hut
- Gigi’s Cupcakes
- AND MORE!
