Save Money Buying Overstock Food

Tuesday, November 28th, 2023

Two sites which can help you save money on your food budget, each are dealing with leftover food – Food Hero and Too Good to Go.

Grocery stores have food which is getting close to a best before date. They can no longer sell it. However you can still buy it and still eat it. This week I bough 3 kinds of Lindt chocolate bars for only $1 each.

Food Hero is an app which tells you which grocery stores are clearing out which items. In the Montreal area they are mostly for IGA and Metro.

Restaurants prepare food everyday not knowing who is going to order what. At the end of the day, there are perfectly good meals left over. You can score one of them on the Too Good to Go app They mostly offer around $15 worth of food for $5 or $6. A lot of times it is a mystery bag. Be brave and try some new things. You never know what you might discover.

Spread out over 2 floors, you can wander the four rooms and also ogle the Artists’ Association of Dollard’s annual exhibition. Make sure you make it to the top to enjoy the view from the heated outdoor rooftop terrace, l’Étoile filante, with a menu of holiday-themed drinks.

Handcrafted edible treats go from decadent to wholesome like Zano Macarons, La Tarterie, Gluten Free Dreams, Bals Provisions, Lab à Mémé, and Chocolat comme ça.

Last year I spotted leather jewelry and card cases, wooden bowls and boards, winter hats and gloves, chocolate, fur ponytail bands, crystals, pottery, pet bows and bowties (okay for humans too), mosaics, soap, paintings, small human sculptures, jewelry, wall sayings, Christmas decorations, baby gifts, button and bead art.
