No one wants food to go to waste! Unfortunately, lots of good food gets tossed out every day at restaurants because it wasn’t sold that day or is about to expire. However, it’s still perfectly delicious and edible. Why throw it away, when someone can still enjoy it? Thanks to Goodie Bag, hungry bargain hunters can pick up unsold food from local restaurants at a discounted price — 50% off or more.
