Introducing Lucky Dip: A powerful new way to fight food waste (and save money) with Olio

At Olio, our mission is simple: to solve the climate crisis by fighting all kinds of waste. From sharing  food and furniture, to clothing and books, we’re always looking for ways to make sure things get used, not wasted. 

That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of Lucky Dip – delicious bundles of surplus food from selected partner stores, sold exclusively to Olio-ers for a fraction of the price. 

Now  you can fight food waste while saving money on your weekly shop in the process – think £10 worth of groceries for just £2.50.

Hear from Olio’s founders, Tessa and Saasha, on how Lucky Dip is one more string to Olio’s food waste fighting bow. 

Getting your hands on a Lucky Dip bag is simple: 

🤳Find and reserve your  Lucky Dip bag in the app

🛍️ Check the collection window and get ready to collect your bag

🏃 Head into store at the collection time and show your order confirmation screen (in the app) to any member of staff

💳 Pay for your Lucky Dip bag at the till

If you can’t see Lucky Dip bags in your app don’t panic, that’s because there aren’t any near you at the moment! We’re working to add more partner stores on an ongoing basis.

From fruit and veg to bakery and deli treats, we’ve done the deal-hunting for you. Try Lucky Dip today and experience the thrill of discovering new products, the joy of giving good food a second chance and the satisfaction of being a food-saving hero. 

Plus, if your bag contains something not to your liking, share it with a neighbour by adding a free food listing on Olio.
