Too Good To Go Surprise Bags in September 2026

too good to go surprise bags

13 surprise bags purchased in September 2026

Too Good To Go is an app where you can check out new restaurants and stores and buy food for a third of the original retail price.  Participating stores will put together a “surprise bag” of what they can’t sell or have too much of.  It’s fun to get a surprise bag! 

Here is my monthly roundup of the surprise bags I bought in September 2026.  I bought 13 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 $4.99, the minimum value of goods received should be $15 worth.)
