Finding affordable meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner can be challenging for college students on a budget. Finding meals when out and about can be expensive and time consuming but TooGoodToGo offers meals and baked goods at a discounted price from restaurants right near campus. 

TooGoodToGo aims to eliminate food waste while rescuing unsold food from local restaurants. The app allows customers to purchase food for half off (or more!) than the original price. 

All of the bags on the app are under $10, with most being under $5. The app gives you a time that you can pick your food up between and all you have to do is reserve your bag and pay for it through the app. The bags can consist of many different types of food and once you click on the restaurant it will usually say if it is a meal or bread and pastries.

Feeding America, a nonprofit organization of food banks, states that food waste is a growing problem in the U.S. with 92 billion pounds of food wasted every single year. 38% of all food in the U.S. is wasted which is why TooGoodToGo rescues the food that would otherwise be thrown out.
