No one wants food to go to waste! Unfortunately, lots of good food gets tossed out every day at restaurants because it wasn’t sold that day or is about to expire. However, it’s still perfectly delicious and edible. Why throw it away, when someone can still enjoy it? Thanks to Goodie Bag, hungry bargain hunters can pick up unsold food from local restaurants at a discounted price — 50% off or more.

Goodie Bag got its start right here in Colorado! Founders Eddy Connors and Luke Siegert originally met at CU Boulder. The duo were always looking for ways to save money as struggling college students. And through lots of hard work they opened Goodie Bag in 2023 to address two important social issues: food waste and food affordability.
The company has since grown to service the Boulder, Fort Collins and Denver communities. (They also operate in Charlotte, North Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina.) With more than 200 partnering businesses, they have been able to prevent more than 45,000 bags of food from being wasted — all while feeding thousands of people at affordable prices. A win-win for all involved!
