I thought it was an app to match people that want an half loaf so they can share a full loaf of bread. That would be innovative.

But no, it only searches store inventories for half-loaves for sale.

I love the laser focus on half-loaves anyway.

When a store has a buy-one-get-one-free deal, it would be nice to have an app that would match me up with somebody else in the store who also wants only one of that thing; then one of us could buy them and we could split the cost. I can't be the only one who doesn't have room in the freezer for a second bone-in pork roast.

The grocery store near me has a food bank donation that you can put items in before you exit.

Some stores allow for buy one get one as buy one for 1/2 off. Some stores don’t. They make you buy both to get the deal

I was just talking with a friend in China who told me that the item sizes at Costco are too large (yes, obviously).

The solution is apparently to organize WeChat groups around buying -- and subsequently dividing -- the oversized items.

You're not alone. I like the occasional soda, but the sales are always "buy 2 get 2 free".

I don't need 4 cases of soda, but I'd take a BOGO if I could split the deal with someone.

Food sharing in general should be encouraged (as a fickle single man I end up throwing away a lot of food, after e.g. opening a jar of tomato sauce and consuming half of it and leaving the other half in the fridge to use "soon"), but that's odd if it only looks in stores.

I must be more fickle than you. There's no way I would trust a half jar of tomato sauce that I found on Craigslist.

Tomato sauce, wine, soups, and other liquid foodstuffs are excellent contenders for ice cube trays. A housemate in university introduced me to 'red wine cubes' from the freezer for chucking into beef Ragu and it turned my world right side up. We now have bags of all sorts in our freezer.

Before covid, I used to bake a batch of three baguettes probably 3x/week, bringing them to work to share. I also brought in growlers of homebrew to share after work. People asked me if, on account of being at home the last two years, I'd been doing a lot more of it. In fact, I've baked and brewed significantly less in that time, and I miss both the sharing and the social time that came about because of those things.

I am also fickle with my food, and a vegan to boot. I solved this problem of leftovers for my situation by making soup. With leftovers, like your tomato sauce, you can always make a soup. Making soup is easy. You can do that in parallel with making dinner, or quickly before breakfast or lunch. You can store and carry it in a thermos flask, or in a simple jar and heat it in a microwave at work. You can also use it as a starter for tomorrow's dinner. Or freeze it for later consumption. Soup, it's great!

I recently got into using tomato powder, have you ever tried it? It would mean more work, but much more shelf-life and granularity of how much tomato you actually want.

I used to immediately throw away half of any load of bread I'd buy because it would always have gone off by the time I got that far down. I would love to have moved that half to a paper bag instead and given it to someone else.

Tinder, but for breads

[rtourn]

Same. It’s weird that my misunderstanding of someone’s idea often better than the idea they were actually proposing.
