I got 6 meals for £3.79 thanks to a Morrisons Café Too Good To Go bag

Too Good To Go is an app that allows members of the public to buy surplus food at a discounted rate, allowing them to bag a bargain while saving food from going in the bin. From Toby Carvery to Greggs, I’ve tried a few bags now, but this time, I got my hands on a Morrisons Café mystery bag to see what I got inside and if it was worth it. The app allows you to search for mystery bags that are available to collect in your local area so that’s exactly what I did – here’s how it went.

The amount of food I got for £3.79 is really impressive (Image: Newsquest) On the app, I was told I’d get a mix of cakes and sandwiches, but my bag was filled with sandwiches that had a variety of fillings. Although the sweet tooth in me was a little disappointed I didn’t get any cake, I was still amazed at how generous the café was.

In the bag, I got an impressive six sandwiches ranging from Ham and Mature Cheddar on Malted Bread to a Meatball Marinara in a White Sub, ideal if you’re heading out for a picnic or you’re entertaining friends or family at home. I think six sandwiches for the price of £3.79 is a bargain since each sandwich can be a meal.

79 price, but I'm not sure if this is what the bag should've cost or what the items inside would've come to had I bought them individually at the Morrisons Café, but I think it was a good deal anyway. Recommended reading: Overall, I’d recommend trying a Too Good To Go mystery bag to see what you get - it could make for a cheap lunch or dinner option, depending on where you go and what’s inside the bag. I think the surprise element is what makes picking up one of the bags a fun exercise, if you’re not a fussy eater, that is.

One downside is that you might have to collect a mystery bag late in the day when a store or restaurant is about to close, but each bag has its collection time stated, so you can choose one that suits you best, for example, on the way home from work..
