Last night, I bought my first Too Good to Go order, and I'm generally so satisfied with it. I paid around $6 for a whole dozen donuts, which would regularly cost $16. I think that was a steal, but you can let me know what you think.
... Read moreOkay, so you saw my amazing Krispy Kreme Too Good To Go haul where I scored a dozen donuts for just $6! If you're wondering how you can get in on these sweet deals, you've come to the right place. I'm still buzzing from my experience, and I wanted to share some tips and tricks to make sure your next Too Good To Go order is just as successful, especially if you're eyeing those delicious Krispy Kreme treats.
First off, if you haven't downloaded the Too Good To Go app, that's step one! It's super easy to use. I usually start by setting my location and browsing nearby stores. For popular spots like Krispy Kreme, bags can go fast, so I recommend checking the app frequently, especially in the evening or early morning when stores often post their surplus. Sometimes, I even set an alarm to check for new listings!
When looking for a Krispy Kreme bag, keep an eye on the pick-up time. They usually have specific windows, and it’s important to be punctual. My 'TODAY'S TooGoodToGo Order' notification usually pops up, and I make sure I'm ready to grab it. What can you expect in a Krispy Kreme bag? Typically, it's a mix of their classic glazed donuts, sometimes assorted varieties like chocolate iced, sprinkles, or even seasonal ones. The beauty is the surprise! While you don't pick the specific donuts, you're guaranteed a generous amount of fresh, delicious goodness that would otherwise go to waste. My dozen was a fantastic mix, and they were all perfectly fresh.
Is it always worth it? In my experience, absolutely! The value is incredible. Think about it: a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts can easily cost upwards of $16-$20 depending on your location and selection. Paying just $6 for that same amount feels like a total win-win. Not only am I saving money, but I'm also helping to reduce food waste, which is a huge bonus for me.
A little pro tip: if you plan to share your donuts (or if you just want to make them last longer), they freeze surprisingly well! Just pop them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and when you're ready for a treat, let them thaw at room temperature for a bit, or even warm them slightly in the microwave. They taste almost as good as fresh.
Beyond Krispy Kreme, Too Good To Go is fantastic for other bakeries, cafes, and even grocery stores. I've heard stories of people getting amazing bread, pastries, and even full meals for a fraction of the price. The thrill of not knowing exactly what you'll get is part of the fun, and it often encourages you to try new things. So, if you're looking for a delightful way to save money and fight food waste, definitely give Too Good To Go a try. You might just find your next favorite sweet (or savory!) deal!
Nice! I check this app every single day. I wish I knew about it sooner!
