Welcome to Gander, the app that helps you save money on your food & grocery shopping whilst substantially reducing food waste. Who doesn't like eating well for less? One of the best ways to do this is through picking up reduced price food, often marked with a yellow sticker, at a supermarket or convenience store. Only issue with this is, you have to be in the store to know what food has been yellow stickered and even then it can be difficult to find it ... well that is all about to change with Gander! Gander is a world first mobile app that displays reduced to clear (often yellow-stickered) food & drink, from local convenience stores and supermarkets in real time! Shopping will never be the same again with delicious reduced food only one swipe away! Did you know, each year, 1/3 of all food produced is thrown away? At Gander we want to help put an end to food waste, by helping retailers stop avoidable food surplus and waste in the first place. Reduced to clear food is normally yellow-stickered because it is coming up to its sell by date, it has been over-ordered (we all do it!) or the packaging has some light damage. What does this mean? This food is still PERFECTLY GREAT TO EAT, yet so much still goes to waste. Not only that, this same delicious food is often at substantially discounted prices. So, if you love great food at cheap prices, want to save money and have an environmental conscience, download Gander now and save money and help reduce food waste Find it. Collect it. Enjoy it … In real time! Gander makes it that simple. ********************************************* Real Time - As soon as a convenience store or supermarket yellow-stickers something it will appear on the app. As soon as the food is sold, it is removed.

Much better than TGTG ### 5/5 — Saved £30 this month *2025-11-27, version 0.3.012* Honestly a game changer for my weekly shop. Iv saved thirty quid this month just checking the app before I pop into theco-op. Love it ### 5/5 — Nice little app *2025-11-27, version 0.3.012* Nice little app been using it a couple years and now they have Iceland which is not my usual but it is great to see the yellow stickers they have so I’ve saved a lot ### 3/5 — Scotland *2024-10-13, version 0.3.012* This app is really good but It’s doesn’t really work in Scotland it does work in some places but not all over. ### 1/5 — Mr *2024-09-18, version 0.3.012* There 3 Spar stores in Omagh and 2 have been took off tha list . ### 3/5 — No stores *2024-05-12, version 0.3.008* Nice idea, but the closest store to me that uses it is 44.5km away ☹️ ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2024-01-30, version 0.3.008* Was good at the start when I first downloaded it. Was able to find some good bargains. The nearby Spar stores have started hiding reduced items now in the back of the store until closing time when the staff themselves buy them to bring home. This renders the app useless. I only realised this as a staff member I know through a friend told me they were doing this. Misleading when you spend money on fuel to drive to a shop to buy items that are showing as available on the app but never instore. These reduced items then disappear from the app when staff go home. Dishonest and wastes customers time. Would be good if more shops were added to the app that didn’t take the items for themselves ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-05-24, version 0.2.100* Great app, launching in more areas now so better for most consumers ## Frequently asked questions about Gander ### What does Gander do?
