Whole Foods is giving customers the chance to help reduce food waste by offering a "surprise bag" of surplus food items at a discounted price.

The initiative includes "Prepared Foods Surprise Bags" filled with items like soup and ready-to-eat meals and "Bakery Surprise Bags" packed with baked goods, according to a news release.

The Whole Foods "surprise bags" are sold through social impact company Too Good to Go’s app.

The bags are a partnership to combat global food waste. Whole Foods is working to halve its food waste by 2030 through this effort and others.

Whole Foods has more than 500 grocery stores across the U.S., and nearly 20 in Canada and the U.K.

Whole Foods and Too Good to Go have priced the "Prepared Foods Surprise Bags," at $9.99 (worth $30 of food) and the "Bakery Surprise Bags" at $6.99 ($21 worth of food), the companies said.

The prices may appeal to inflation-weary consumers who have been seeking out value and ways to save money on groceries in recent months.
