Too Good To Go App - random bags of discounted food to reduce waste

[LadyMuck]

Reserved a veggie breakfast at Toby carvery for tomorrow. Will let you know what it's like

I always wonder about the Pret ones, I remember them saying how they gave all leftover food to homeless shelters, presumably they have stopped this now if they are using Too Good to Go.
Does anyone know if there is a way to use the app on a laptop? I used to have it on my phone but it took up too much space and I had to delete it
really want to try the M+S Bp near me!

Mine from Costa today

thats pretty good! how much was it? I much prefer getting savoury things in too good to go, only so many muffins etc you can eat in a day

 

[Gossngiggles]

I noticed that Heron foods are on the app and got a bag for tonight. I don’t usually gladiolus in there so have no idea what to expect!

I’ve given up on Morrisons bags for now, the last couple have been awful (one was a bag full of rock hard loaves of bread and some brown pineapple) and I noticed the store rating has dropped loads so I’m guessing others have had bad bags too.

 

[Wishwash]

Random question but do you all eat the food you collect the same day? Reason I ask is the Gregg's near me is often on the app but I feel like if I got it I'd stuff myself like a pig can you freeze the scones/pastries etc? There's only two of us and a toddler so not sure we'd eat it all the same day or next!

[Gossngiggles]

I wish the Greggs near us were on there. There’s at least 5 in a small area and none use it!

Nisa (sells co-op food) and BP M&S garages are the best in my area.

£3!!

Problem is I live on my own so hopefully the rolls will be ok to freeze for weekend breakfasts.

bargain! yeh this is my issue too, rolls like this freeze well in my experience though, especially as they are well sealed

Soooo disappointed with the Millie's cookies bag

View attachment 1178337

£3.99 for 4 slices of the same flavoured cookie. Safe to say I won't bother again. Greggs is so much better value and the amount of food you get for almost half the cost of millies is such a better deal.

omg thats soooo disappointing!

I had defrosted one of the Costa toasties I got to eat today. Just cooked it and it was all grey and sloppy inside couldn’t eat it

Which filling was it? I should imagine some freeze better than others,

 

[mcfeez]

Yay, got a good one today! Obvs it had the obligatory 4 pack of sausage rolls! View attachment 1150029

Lucky you! How much did this cost?

 

[Lala22]

Amazing thankyou! I think it’s a brilliant idea. The only thing I’m a bit about is that it’s a lot of carb/stodge on the app I wouldn’t normally eat that regularly. Has anyone had any luck with pret as I know they do more soups and salads?

 

[Kerrie86]

They’ve just added a load of carvery type breakfast bags near me. All that’s left is the vegetarian ones but I can’t imagine they’d be very good!

 

[lurkingaround123]

I've just ordered my first one, I don't know why I am nervous to go and get it what do you say when you go in? It was £4.34 for something called Doogles Donuts

 

[ElektraWintour]

My local Greggs seem to have stopped doing them? The next town over still do them but that’s a drive away rather than a walk. Annoying.

 

[Gossngiggles]

I always look at the Tim Hortons one but the collection is sooo late! Your bag looks amazing though, so tempting.

 

[champagnepinkk]

Seen a few Millie's ones on here and can't understand why they are always so broken and crushed! I know they taste the same but it's poor

Worst thing is they don’t even taste the same
Mine were so tasteless I am convinced they weren’t from that day at all

 

[Giggling Squid]

Decathlon has a couple of bags on near me at the moment, out of date sports nutrition… short date, I’m fine with but I feel like out of date sports nutrition is asking for trouble, my stomach is dodgy enough running as it is

 

[Misbehaving]

I’m so jealous. Cities are the best place to be to use this app for sure! I live in a seaside town and there’s not much apart from Toby carvery or greggs lol

Yeah I am lucky you're right location has a lot to do with it! Mind you lots of places now have decent cafes and they always have a good selection including bread and pastries.
Also you might have a better quality of fruit and veg shops? The ones in London are not much to write home about? That's the one thing I couldn't get for love nor money last time it was mouldy lettuce and fennel and a very ripe papaya which if you have ever smelt one of those is enough to put you off for life!
So it still might be worth giving it a go plus they are always adding new places.....and increasing their selection...?
