What is Olio?

Olio app

Olio – your local go-to for free food (and more)

Olio is a free food and money-saving app designed to help you make your budget go further – while reducing waste at the same time. If you love a good deal, you’ll love Olio!

Through the app, you can get free food from local shops, bakeries and more, as well as discover discounted groceries at supermarkets near you. With Olio, instead of unsold food being wasted, it goes to local people instead. That means more food on plates, less food in landfill, and more money saved in your pocket.

And it’s not just about food. Anyone can use Olio to give away free household items – from furniture and clothes to books, toys and toiletries. You can declutter your home, give things a second life, find what you need without buying new, and even sell items locally within your community.

By choosing to use what’s already available nearby instead of buying new, you’re helping tackle overconsumption and reduce your environmental impact. We can’t recycle our way out of the climate crisis – but we can rethink how we consume. When sharing becomes our first choice, we reduce demand for new production, cut carbon emissions and keep perfectly good items in use for longer.

Join over 9 million people who have downloaded the app to save money, find free food near them, and connect with their local community. In fact, 84% of users say it has improved their financial wellbeing, with 76% reporting improved mental health too.

Small actions add up. One shared meal, one rescued croissant, one rehomed lamp at a time, we’re building a future where resources are shared, not thrown away.

The Olio difference

Show your budget who’s boss. Reconnect with your community. Help the planet. Feel amazing – all on Olio.
