‘I ordered a £5 Too Good To Go bag and and bought over £100 value of meals’

A woman was left stunned after discovering her £5 ‘Too Good To Go’ bag was filled with over £100 worth of goodies.

TikTok creator @piquillopeppers, a long-time user of the app since 2018, had never scored a deal as impressive as this. She visited a Gail’s bakery in Central London last month and lugged her haul home before realising the sheer amount of items inside.

The bag was packed with six loaves of bread, two plain croissants, eight blueberry and custard brioche buns, four chocolate muffins, and one blueberry muffin.

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 Too Good To Go app aims to tackle food waste by allowing users to purchase a bag of random items that would otherwise be discarded by shops or restaurants.

The creator added: “Food waste is a huge issue and it’s essential 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.”
