The App

Save good food near you

Great food from local stores at up to ⅔ off. Discover what is available in your neighbourhood and rescue it before it goes to waste.

Why rescue?

Good for you. Good for everyone.

Save real money

Surprise Bags are priced at one-third or less of the original retail value. That means restaurant-quality food for the price of a snack. Our users save an average of R150 per bag.

Reduce your footprint

Each bag you rescue saves approximately 2.5kg of CO₂ from entering the atmosphere. Over a year of regular rescuing, that adds up to the equivalent of a short-haul flight.

Discover local gems

Many of our users find their new favourite bakery, café or restaurant through a Surprise Bag. It is the most delicious way to explore your neighbourhood.

Support local business

When you buy a Surprise Bag, you help a local business cover costs they would otherwise have written off. You are directly supporting the people and places that make your community vibrant.
