Police agencies across Western Washington warn of text scams
Multiple police agencies across Western Washington posted on social media this week, warning communities to look out for toll road text scams. The scammers send texts claiming to be from the DMV, the 'Seattle Vehicle Administration,' or Good To Go!, claiming that the user owes toll money and will face penalties if they do not pay via a link in the text. Police are warning people NOT to click these links. Back in March, KIRO 7 spoke to a Washington couple who wanted to warn the public after they lost more than $23,000 to the scam. 'They're good. They're really good. That chick knew everything. She said the right things and reassured us we were doing the right thing, and the whole time we weren't,' they said. The scammer used personal details to lead the couple into losing thousands. 'If you have any doubts at all, hang up and call the institution directly,' they said. As a reminder, WSDOT never texts toll notices, uses web addresses ending in '. and only sends reminders through mail or an official account. If you get a text from one of these scammers, Des Moines PD advises you not to reply, block the caller, and don't reply. You can also report the message as junk/spam. If concerned, you can check your account by visiting directly or by calling WSDOT. Here's a roundup of the local police agency posts:

Too Good To Go app aims to cut food waste in Utah with cheap groceries
The global anti-food waste app Too Good To Go is expanding to Salt Lake City, the company announced last week. Why it matters: About one-third of all food in the U.S. is thrown away, per the USDA, even as food insecurity rises. The big picture: Too Good To Go connects local restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores to consumers eager to buy surplus food at a fraction of the original price, says Allie Denburg, U.S. strategy and planning lead at Too Good To Go. Zoom in: Consumers typically pay half or one-third of the retail value for leftover food that's still fresh and safe to eat. Businesses pay an annual fee (typically $89) and $1.79 per bag sold. The app tracks each user's lifetime savings and offers at-home waste-cutting tips. How it works: Download the app and create a profile.

'I got £3 Too Good To Go Bag from Greggs and contents left me speechless'
A man was left stunned after opening up the £3 Too Good To Go bag he'd recently gotten from Greggs, as he quickly named it 'the greatest Too Good To Go bag of all time' A man has been left stunned after unwrapping a £3 Too Good To Go bag that he got from Greggs – as he couldn't believe what he got inside it. Too Good To Go is a great app where you can save food waste while also benefitting from plenty of tasty items at a discounted rate. While you won't be able to pick the exact products you end up with, the bags they give you are often filled with freezable items or, you can eat them there and then depending on the outlet you purchase from. They've grown increasingly popular over the last few years, as people often share videos of what they've received in their bags and whether or not they think it was worth the price they paid. Owen Reeman, a TikTok creator from High Wycombe, has grown a following of more than 519,000 people thanks to his foodie reviews. And in a recent video, he shared the items he'd received in the mystery Greggs bundle. "Too Good To Go bag, acquired," he said as he held up his Greggs bag for viewers to see. "This might be the heaviest Too Good To Go bag of all time, look at the size of it!" "This cost three quid by the way," he said before digging into the contents of the mystery bag. "Right lets row through this bag to see what we've got." The first item he got from the bag was a caramel doughnut, which was then followed by a pink jammy doughnut. "I like both of those, that's all you could ask for," Owen said before reaching in for the third item. To his delight, it was a Tandoori Chicken Baguette. He gushed: "That's like £3 on it's own, that's brilliant." Taking out the fourth item, he declared: "Chicken bake. Absolutely class." "This is like Mary Poppins bag, it just keeps on going and going and going. There's still loads left," he said as he unwrapped a steak bake. The next items were a Jammy Heart Biscuit, two sausage rolls, another chicken bake, as well as a second steak bake. "That is... we've got two sausage rolls, two chicken bakes, two steak bakes, a baguette, two doughnuts, and a heart biscuit. We've got 10 items for three quid," Owen said in disbelief. "That might be the greatest Too Good To Go bag of all time. I'm never, ever, gonna top that." Owen wasn't the only one who was left amazed by the bag's contents. Taking to the comment section of the video, which has been viewed half a million times in a week, viewers shared their own experiences. One wrote: "Best day of this blokes life." Another said: "I got 8 baguettes once and 2 doughnuts for £3 and I felt like the luckiest man alive." A third commented: "My local one gave me two full bags once even though I only paid for one. It was two minutes until end of pick up and nobody else had ordered. It was a ridiculous amount!" And a fourth added: "I work at a Greggs at a service station and we literally fill the bags to the point where we can't get anything else in, sometimes we'll even give you a second bag if we have enough waste." However not everyone had had good experiences with Gregg's Too Good To Go bags, as one viewer said: "I got a Too Good To Go bag from Greggs once and it was four vegetable bakes. Fuming."
