24 surprise bags purchased in October 2026

We use Too Good To Go every month to save money on food and try out new restaurants.  Restaurants on the app will post food that is left over or unsold for one third of the price.  It’s a great initiative to prevent food waste.  It’s a fun way to discover new restaurants and try new products.

Here is my monthly roundup of the surprise bags I bought in October 2026.  I bought 24 surprise bags 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 $5.99, the minimum value of goods received should be $18 worth.)
