Too Good to Go App Launches in CT to Help Fight Food Waste and Save on Meals

Sam Schwab November 19, 2024

The Too Good to Go app, which aims to help fight food waste, launched in Connecticut this past week. The free mobile app connects its users to local businesses with surplus food. When using the platform, consumers are able to access unsold food at a fraction of its retail price. Instead of businesses throwing away perfectly good food at the end of the day, they list a ‘Surprise Bag’ on the Too Good to Go app that users are able to purchase. According to the app’s website, the ‘Surprise Bags’ are sold at 25-50% of their contents' original retail value — a win-win-win for businesses, customers, and the environment.

I’ll be the first to admit that since Rosina’s opened, it has become my toxic trait. And I mean that in the best way possible. I’ve eaten there for dinner, I’ve attended several happy hours and one industry night, and I’ve celebrated a birthday there.

Full transparency, Jared Falco, Rosina’s co-owner and executive chef, is a good friend of mine. I’d like to say I go so often to visit him, and that is partially true, but Jared, I’m sorry, it’s for the pasta. Still love you, bro!
