The 5 surprise bags I got in November 2025

You can save food from going to waste by using an app called Too Good To Go.   It’s a free app that anyone can download.  Restaurants or stores will put together “surprise bag” of items that they weren’t able to sell and post it on the app for a third of the price. 

Here is my monthly roundup of the surprise bags I bought in November 2025.  I bought 5 this month!

(Where there is a clear price tag of the goods, surprise bags that meet or are above the minimum value are marked with a green checkmark and surprise bags that do not meet the minimum value are marked with a red X.  E.g. If a surprise bag costs $7.99, the minimum value of goods received should be $24 worth.)
