Too Good To Go

Postby JoM » 06 Jun 2025, 22:10

What a treat we had tonight, Joe and Jade came in with a Starbucks carrier bag, they’d been to collect a Too Good To Go bag from there and it was full of cake!
They’d paid £2.99 for the bag, not knowing exactly what would be in it but it contained a lovely selection of six cakes, all of which would’ve been on sale for between £3.50 and £4 each and would’ve been thrown away otherwise.

Jade said that she and her Mom had a bag from Aldi a couple of weeks ago and it was full of salad so wasn’t so good but had another from Greggs which was much better :lol:

Anyone else tried Too Good To Go?

We don't run to a Starbucks or a Greggs down here, but sounds a good bargain! :D

It’s all on a app Cruiser, you put in your local area and it shows what’s available. I’ve just looked and a local Toby Carvery is selling a breakfast bag, to be collected at around 11am, for £2.49.

Ossie, we’ve gone from having no Starbucks to three in the space of four years. Even the pub by my Dad’s house has been converted into one now.

When I was a young lad (many moons etc.) Henry, our neighbour, had a butcher's shop in Leeds Market. On Saturdays it closed at lunch time so for the last hour he would set up a trestle with 'Pick a bag' deals of stuff to go before it reopened on Tuesday. What was in the bag was pot-luck - no peeking. Any that were left he would hawk round the pub on his way home but he always brought home the best ones for a few neighbours.

He had a soft spot for mum and my disabled brother so we always got a 'special' with a roasting joint, rump steaks, chops and the best mince. :D :D :D
