For anyone struggling to make ends meet!
Tesco is giving away free surplus food via the food-sharing app, Olio! This is particularly helpful for anyone struggling financially. To get started, just download their app to your device. Then sign up for an account and browse goodies that are being given away near you!
You can also claim surplus food from shops like Pret, Costa and more!
Tesco are asking people to be volunteers to hand free food out. They are not giving it to that said person
wrong tmccormick !! This app lists many retailers who will give away end of date food. It is one of the most succesful of its kind. Tesco may be looking for volunteers but that is in no way connected with this app. Thanks Jo for sharing. Particularly in these times of food poverty !! Im sure many will find this extremely useful.
Thanks for your backup here Mrmac although it's sad that someone who doesn't post anything leaves a comment like that without checking the facts but even sadder that someone else has liked the comment!! x
Sorry Mrmac that should have been a sad face, not a laughing one, I'm just not used to posting those!
I myself am a member of Olio and have been for about 2 months. . I responded to someone that was giving away 2x 2 seater brown leather sofas.. the man dropped them off to me and when they arrived they're like new, I'm absolutely thrilled to bits with them!! I haven't got the money to go and buy furniture like this and they were very much needed.
So Olio are truly a company that really does what it says on the tin!! They help people in need, re-purposing items food and non food (I saw a pair of men's size Caterpillar boots) and no money changes hands. They DO NOT give away on behalf of Tesco in answer to a particular comment guys and I just feel it's unfair to make them out to be the bad guys when they truly are helping people(like me) in need. #Love Olio
Wow, what a brilliant comment, thank you so much for taking the time to explain all that keepitjijjy , that was really lovely to read!! x
JoTarpley Hi Jo, you're so welcome... You guys are the true hero's .. here's your hug }x{ #loveOlio
I absolutely love this app. I have been a member for a few months now, it really helped me out at the start of lockdown
Thank you for sharing this. I haven’t heard of them before, I’ve downloaded and will have a gander. Thanks again x
