A woman has pointed out that sometimes, when you pick up a Too Good To Go bag, it may not be the most aesthetic thing in the world, but it can still be good value for money
Too Good To Go bags are a great way to get cheap, delicious food and to prevent things from getting thrown in the bin. But sometimes, they can miss the mark leaving people disappointed with what they received. When Becky, who posts on TikTok as @beckysbazaar, went to collect her Too Good To Go bag from Millie’s Cookies in the Trafford Centre, she was left a little confused.
Listed as being worth £12.60, but reduced to £6.29, they picked up the box that looked “jam-packed”. Becky did a countdown to open it, and she gasped when the contents were revealed.
Becky said: “Oh, this is loads of like, different off-cuts.” The person Becky was with commented the contents of the box looked like “sweeping off the floor” as she was trying to explain the different bits that were in the box.
Despite the fact the cookies may not have been the most aesthetically pleasing, they did point out “four cookies over there costs £7.99,” so they had technically bagged a bargain.
They did concede they “think” the box is worth £6.29, despite the harsh comment made about its contents.
In the comments, some disagreed, however, saying: “This is the first one I’ve seen so far which I personally don’t think was really worth the price. It should be £4.50 max for that!”
“Fair point, but that’s the cost of ingredients at this point, so the company would make no revenue giving this away for that price,” somebody pointed out, sharing the business will still want to make money, even if they’re teaming up with Too Good To Go.
“That’s not worth it. It’s broken crumbs, not actual products,” one woman argued, saying she wouldn’t bother with the box.
Another penned: “That’s hilarious! Not sure I’d pay £6.29 for that bag, but it’s a fun idea to save food from going to waste!”
“You got loads,” a jealous TikToker wrote, with someone else explaining that when they got a Too Good To Go bag from their local store and it was a “bag of bits with literal crumbs,” rather than cookies.
On Too Good To Go’s website, they share their app is “the world’s largest marketplace for surplus food”. They explain they “help users rescue good food from going to waste, offering great value for money at local stores, cafes and restaurants”.
Its app offers food at half price or less, it helps the environment by reducing food waste, you can rescue food that’s close to you, and you can try food you never have before from local cafe’s, bakeries, and restaurants.
