Whole Foods is helping reduce food waste by offering "surprise bags" filled with surplus items at a discounted rate. These include:
- Prepared Foods Surprise Bags with items like soup and ready-to-eat meals.
- Bakery Surprise Bags featuring an assortment of baked goods.
In partnership with social impact company Too Good to Go, these bags are available through their app. The collaboration aims to tackle global food waste, with Whole Foods committed to cutting its waste in half by 2030.
Launched nationwide last month, the program offers these surprise bags at over 450 Whole Foods locations. The "Prepared Foods Surprise Bags" are priced at $9.99, providing $30 worth of food, while the "Bakery Surprise Bags" cost $6.99 for $21 worth of goods.
Also, don't forget to enjoy the best of seasonal flavors with Whole Foods Market's expertly curated selection.
These prices are especially appealing to consumers looking for savings in light of inflation, as grocery prices have increased by 1.1% compared to the previous year, according to recent Consumer Price Index data. With over 500 stores in the U.S. and nearly 20 in Canada and the UK, Whole Foods' initiative is both widespread and timely.
