About Bestby Bites
Nothing good
goes to waste
Bestby Bites is a Canadian local savings marketplace founded in Brampton, Ontario. Local stores post today’s surplus food as Surprise Bags and this week’s specials as Flyer Deals, and people nearby reserve them online and pick them up in store.
Our Mission
Connecting people with surplus food at fairer prices.
We help food businesses waste less and customers spend less, making food rescue an easy everyday habit, not a once-in-a-while good deed.

You collect and save

Everyone wins
Stores recover revenue, customers save on food they already buy, and good food stays out of landfill.

It's a win for everyone: merchants recover revenue, customers save 50–75%, and the planet sees less food waste.

Our Story
Bestby Bites was founded in Brampton, Canada, on one idea: good food shouldn't be wasted when people nearby would happily buy it for less. Today we're piloting with our first partners.

A note from our founder
Bestby Bites began with one simple question: why does so much good food go to waste while so many people still struggle to find affordable meals?
Watching perfectly good food being thrown away never felt right. It was a missed opportunity for household savings, for local businesses and for the planet.
We're building carefully, so every version feels useful, honest and made for real communities.
This isn't just about food. It's about building a smarter, more sustainable way to live.
