The $3,800 You're Throwing Out Every Year Without Realizing

The $3,800 You're Throwing Out Every Year Without Realizing

Food waste savings of $3,800 a year are already in your refrigerator. You open it, grab what looks good, cook what you felt motivated to make, and quietly throw out the rest. Not because you're careless. Because fully stocked shelves trained you to shop that way.

Too Good To Go operates on a straightforward mechanism: businesses like Tim Hortons, Metro, and Food Basics list end-of-day surplus as surprise bags. You reserve one for $4.99, pick it up in a set window, and get $15 worth of food. Chris MacAulay puts the global number plainly: 46% of all food produced is wasted. To personalize that, open your fridge and throw half of it directly in the garbage. That's the baseline we've normalized.

One surprise bag a week recovers $700 a year. The habit compounds from there. MacAulay's observation: once you start noticing how much leaves your kitchen uneaten, your entire relationship with food shifts, and you don't always notice it happening until it already has.
