      Check out the Too Good To Go app! There’s probably a few things near you. It’s designed to help reduce food waste. As long as you’re open to a little surprise, you can get great stuff for like 75 percent off. We do it almost weekly.

      Chinese seems like a weird one to mention because anywhere I’ve ever gotten Chinese takeout has to be the best value for your dollar in terms of take out food. They cram those containers so full you can make three meals out of it, at least.
