Go before shopping
Purpose to surplus is such an amazing Initiative. All the volunteers are friendly, got some great snacks for the kids over holidays. Lots of freezer stuff, free community fridge is a nice touch after too. It is pick and mix some days not much other days lots of food going. Can't believe it would all go to landfill! With a bit of imagination there are so many different meals you can make it's fun ti try be creative with the stuff out on sale there

The customer service is horrible
The customer service is horrible. Sent a message to the CEO and his reply to my suggestion was quoting
"I would suggest not ordering from us again please. " I was give too much of the same product which means I would have to throw away because would eventually spoil not having what to do with them . Defeating the purpose of avoiding waste.
