Free & Low-Cost Food Apps

Low-cost schemes to avoid food waste

There are now several food waste apps where you can find perfectly good food that would otherwise be destined for landfill, at much lower cost.

  • Olio is an app that gives you the chance to collect free food locally from people and businesses that don’t need it.
  • Too Good To Go app: every day, delicious, fresh food goes to waste at cafes, restaurants, hotels, shops and manufacturers, just because it hasn’t sold in time. This app lets you buy and collect this food at a low price so it gets eaten instead of wasted.
