A woman has been left gobsmacked after picking up a M&S Too Good To Go Bag for just £4 – as other app users say she ‘struck gold’ with it and wish they’d come across one similar
A woman has shared her delight after spending just £4 on a Too Good To Go Bag and receiving enough food to host her own a party. Ella Marie, who is known on social media as @ellamariegill, has praised Marks and Spencer for setting the bar with their generous bag.
In her video, she said: “I don’t think any bag is going to beat this one. Let me show you everything I got for £4, I don’t even know where to start, there’s so much in here.” Pulling out items from the M&S bag, she shared how her lunch for the next two days was sorted thanks to a honey roast ham and cheddar cheese sandwich and a Marmite and cheddar cheese sandwich. She was pleased to see freeze-friendly items in the bag too including three ready meals – chicken arrabbiata, macaroni and cheese, and a battered sweet and sour meal for one.
But that’s not all because she was also given a side of buttery mash potato, a super green salad and a roasted vegetable couscous.
To go with this, she was surprised to see four bread rolls and a block of brie.
To finish off her bag, she was given a porridge pot which she said she’d be tucking into for breakfast the following morning and an entire, party-sized carrot cake.
With a simile on her face, she said: “I definitely think this bag was worth the £4.”
Commenting on her video, one user said: “Put some in the freezer so you always have meals in.”
Another user added: “This is how I’ll be surviving when I move out.”

A third user said: “This is all I needed to see to buy the M&S Too Good To Go Bag.”
One more user added: “I got an M&S Too Good To Go bag from the airport and they gave me two items. You struck gold with that one.”
Another user said: “Amazing! Wish our M&S would join or just more retailers in general.”
One more said: “I didn’t even know M&S did these. I need in my life.”
A final user said: “I love that couscous and green salad together. You were lucky. I’ve had good ones but nothing like as much as you got there.”
