Gander is a free mobile application designed to combat food waste by connecting users with marked-down items in their local supermarkets. It aims to reduce food waste by providing a platform for users to discover and purchase discounted products nearing their expiration dates, at risk of becoming waste.

In the Gander app, you can input your location to search for stores nearby that have signed up to the platform. Within a store, a list of discounted items available in those stores. Users can browse through these items, view details such as the discounted price and expiration date, and choose to purchase them in store as normal.

By using Gander, you can save money on groceries while also contributing to the reduction of food waste. Additionally, Gander provides a convenient way to discover discounted items that might otherwise go unsold and end up being discarded by supermarkets.

Users can find products from every department in the grocery store marked down on Gander, from fresh produce, to pantry items to health & beauty items.

On the app users can filter by categories such as:

• Fruits & Vegetables
• Meat & Fish
• Dairy, Eggs & Bread

No, the items listed on Gander are typically nearing their expiration dates but are still safe to consume. Supermarkets mark down these items to ensure they are sold before they expire, but they are still within their usable and safe consumption period. Gander partners with reputable supermarkets to ensure the quality of the products listed on the app. Supermarkets follow food safety regulations and guidelines when discounting items, and Gander does not list products that do not meet these standards.
