Episode 694: Save Money, Cut Food Waste: How We Buy Dinner for a Fraction of Eating Out

In this fun, practical episode, Kathi Lipp and her favorite person, Roger Lipp ,go off the beaten clutter path to share their favorite frugal foodie tool: the Too Good To Go app. If you want great food for a fraction of the price, hate seeing food go to waste, or just need an easy meal that isn’t from your own kitchen, this one’s for you. Listeners will learn:

  • How Too Good To Go works (and when it’s worth it)

  • Their best “surprise bag” wins (pizza, bagels, bakery, gumbo, and more)

  • What to know before you go: pickup windows, freshness, and cancellations

  • Smart hacks for leftovers: air fryer reheat, freezing donuts, and sharing the bounty

  • Who this is great for (and who should skip it)

  • How to weave it into errands, travel, and low-cost date nights

You’ll walk away with a simple, step-by-step plan to save money, reduce waste, and bring a little adventure back to your meals—without adding chaos to your life.
