I'm curious to discover more stuff that exists in the App realm, there must be some small indie apps we don't know about everywhere

I wish Too Good To Go was in use in my city. My friend lives in Oakland and she uses it all the time. She said it's a bit hit-or-miss, though. She's shown up at some places and they're like, "here's a bag, fit it up with whatever and we'll charge you $n for it." Once it was a shelf of stuff and they said she could as much stuff as she wanted from the shelf for the same price. Once when I was visiting her, we got a huge bag of baked goods. If nothing else, it can help familiarize you with areas and businesses you may not have come across otherwise.

    The bagel place is like that sometimes where they haven't made the buzz yet and they let us pick. The Jamaican place has seemed the same every time, but it's a great portion of assorted items. We also got good stuff from a vegan, non-every allergen place. The prices were premium, but the stuff was really tasty, and even though we didn't have special diet restrictions, other family members do, do we could promote it to them. We've also gotten to try different things we don't normally order, like we get a big bag of pepperoni rolls from a pizza place, and the other place is the sausage food truck thing outside Home Depot which was actually really tasty.

    Only once did we feel a place was a little less generous, but it still wasn't a bad deal for the price, just in comparison to other grab bags.

    It's got us to try both local stuff we've never gotten to check out, and also things a little further away than we'd normally go to because it's a cheap adventure with really nothing to lose.
