I like that Sobeys sometimes hands out gift cards for $10 or $20, if you spend a certain amount, usually over $200.
The produce clearance rack at Farm Boy in London is excellent. I have a feeling it gets picked over very quickly in downtown Toronto.
Some people line up before the store opens, to sweep up the reduced meat and produce as soon as the doors open, at my local indie store in London, Remark Market.
I was disappointed with Too Good to Go in Toronto
[TORONTO] Too Good To Go App
I was very excited at first. A few places were selling things that were stale and well past their best before dates. I had another business change the pickup times, and I couldn’t get there soon enough. I missed a few pickups because I was late due to traffic or poor planning, and they locked the door. The business could have left the food on a bench outside the door, imo. There was an Italian restaurant near me using Too Good Too Go, who would package up their leftovers around 10 pm. I tried to get that one a dozen times, but someone must have been waiting because that one was always gone as soon as it appeared.
My local indie coffee shop, Coco’s, decided not to use Too Good To Go. They have their day old pastries near the cash for $1 each, when the fresh pastries sell for $4-$7.
