Food and shopping
Second-hand marketplaces, surplus food at a lower price, and where to turn if money runs out.
Operator named · AI-assisted research · Human-reviewedHow we check thisHide
Each service links to its own website and names who runs it, so you can see whether you are dealing with a government body or a company. Research tools, including AI, help us find them, compare them and draft the entry. A person checks and publishes every one. Being listed here is not an endorsement and not advice to buy anything.
Marktplaats
Commercial service · Marktplaats B.V., part of Adevinta · Free · Has an app
The dominant second-hand marketplace. Furnishing a first flat and finding a first bike are near-universal newcomer costs, and both are much cheaper here.
Most listings are private sales between individuals, so there is no seller to complain to afterwards. You need an account to message a seller, but not to browse.

Food aid if money runs out, and how to find the food bank covering your area.
Support starts with four weeks of groceries and is then reviewed with you. The association states it cannot help students living away from home, undocumented people, residents of an asylum seekers centre, or people who are homeless, and your local food bank decides.
voedselbankennederland.nlToo Good To Go
Commercial service · Too Good To Go ApS · Free · Has an app · Account needed
Reserve and pay in the app for a bag of surplus food from a shop, bakery or restaurant nearby, usually at half the price or less, then collect it at a set time.
You do not choose what is in a bag, pickup windows are fixed, and what is on offer depends on the shops near you.
