A woman who spent £5 on a bag of food could not believe her luck when she ended up with over £100 worth of products.
TikTok content creator @piquillopeppers purchased the Too Good To Go bag from a central London branch of bakery last month - and didn't realise the mega haul she had acquired until she got home. She estimates her bag contained an impressive £118.80 worth of food - including six loaves of bread, two plain croissants, eight blueberry and custard brioche buns, four chocolate muffins and one blueberry muffin.
She also managed to snag a mix of six different salads or chia pots. The user said she has been using the Too Good To Go app since 2018 but has never got as good a deal as this before. Too Good To Go is an app that allows you to pick up excess food that retailers haven't been able to sell, but are perfectly safe to eat. The catch is, you don't know what will be inside your bag - it all depends on what is available on the day.
She said: "I was incredibly lucky with this bag. I've been using Too Good To Go since 2018 and gotten at least eight bags from Gail's before, but they've never had as much as this. As soon as I got home and realised how much there was, I texted my parents to ask if they were in because I knew I'd need help with it all! We finished the focaccia on the day with the salads. I handed out some of the sweet treats to the neighbours and three of the loaves to my parents."
The TikTok user said: "Food waste is a huge issue and it's important that we continue to work at it as a society. I do think there's a question about where is the best place to direct this excess food. I know chains like Pret A Manger have close relationships with local shelters or food banks, and I think these resources should be prioritised."
Last month, we reported how one man showed off the contests of his two Too Good To Go Bags that he bought from his local Starbucks in for just £5.90. It featured seven bags filled with plain croissants, almond croissants, chocolate twists, a cinnamon roll and a Halloween cake pop.
He also received six trays of chocolate and caramel shortbread. He joked the 35 slices would come in handy as he is visiting his family tomorrow - adding: "Get the kettle on." The sweet treats cost around £3.15 depending on your location - meaning Alister received more than £115 in shortbread alone. The pastries are also priced around £3 each.
