A man was shocked after realising he got more than he bargained for after buying two Too Good To Go bags from his local Marks and Spencer, and viewers are rushing to the app to grab their own bags to try
A man was left gobsmacked at how much food he got after getting two Too Good To Go bags from Marks and Spencer, arguing it was a good way to get a lot of food when you’re on a tight budget.
Too Good To Go is an app which allows supermarkets, stores, cafes and restaurants to sell food that is close to its sell-by or use-by dates and would otherwise have gone to waste for reduced prices. The bags are called surprise bags as you don’t know what you are getting when you order.
Taking to TikTok to showcase his haul, the happy shopper Farrance was shocked to see the contents of his £5 Marks and Spencer Too Good to Go Bags, saing: “I can’t believe how much food I just got off of this Too Good To Go order.”
As he went to the Marks and Spencer to pick it up, he said: “I’m pretty f**king skint at the moment and I figured this is actually a decent way to make me money stretch a bit further.”
Going to the M&S Food inside Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, he picked up the order from a member of staff, which included two bags full of food.
“So I got a surprise bag and a bakery bag,” Farrance said. “All of this food for less than a tenner, and I knew there was gonna be some stuff I could just chuff in my freezer, so this was a good idea to me.”
As he got home, he immediately started unpacking the two bags, starting with the bakery bag, which included a total of eight items with a value of about £13.60, including a roasted hazelnut chocolatine, cheese and onion twist, a cinnamon roll, a chocolate muffin, a cheese scone, a chocolate twist, a bag of cookies, and a bag of doughnuts.
Moving on to the food bag, he unboxed a bag of five plain bagels, a blue oat milkshake, a golden chicken and grains salad, a loaf of farmhouse bread, a smoked ham and cheddar sub, a packaged of six crumpets, peri peri chicken slices, a banana, a cacao oat drink, normally retailing for up to £22.50 in total.
“All this much for not even £10, mate,” he said after unboxing the bags, showing all the different items laying on the hob.
Farrance wasn’t the only one impressed with what he’d gotten, as people took to the comment section to express their thoughts.
“Wish I didn’t have so many allergies. Looks amazing,” one person commented, to which Farrance replied: “I did see a gluten free one but I understand your pain! at least they’re all individually wrapped!”
Another person said: “Okay, you’ve convinced me to finally try it, as long as I get pastries that aren’t hard as a rock I’ll be happy loll.”
“The ham and cheese sandwiches are the best in too good to go deals. I freeze them and then cook them like a toastie. Stretch the bags life out more,” a third user commented.
