What is TooGoodToGo?

TooGoodToGo is an app that allows you to buy food that would otherwise be thrown away. It's a great way to save money and help the environment.

What is this tool for?

In the app, you can select favourite stores, that you can easily check for new items. However, you can't get notified when new items are available. This tool allows you to do that, and avoid refreshing the app all the time.

Other free tools exist, but notification where sent through a telegram bot, that has to be setup first. I made myself this tool for simplity.
