The short story
Bakeries, cafés and supermarkets list "surprise bags" of food that would otherwise be thrown away at the end of the day. You collect a bag nearby for much less than the usual price — less waste, lower grocery bills.
Why we picked it
- A small, easy daily habit with a real environmental effect.
- Saves money on good-quality food.
- Available in most European cities.
Good to know
- You do not always know exactly what is in the bag — less ideal for strict diets or allergies.
- Collection windows are fixed, usually near closing time.
