A Scottish woman thought she had bagged a steal using Too Good To Go – until she peeked inside her bag.
Too Good To Go is an app that connects people with restaurants, supermarkets and cafes, with the aim of combating food waste. Customers pay a small fee and receive a mystery bag filled with various items that would have otherwise been binned. Sometimes you can nab some pricey items on the cheap – but it seems that’s not always the case.
Aaliyah Anderson took to TikTok to show off what was in her £2 Too Good To Go bag from Morrisons. And it’s fair to say she didn’t reckon it was particularly good value for money.
Aaliyah held up a massive Morrisons bag at the start of the video, exclaiming: “Look at the size of it!” And things still seemed to be going well when she pulled out the first item, a batch of bread rolls. “Can’t go wrong,” she said.
However, things then did start to go wrong as she pulled more and more bread from the bag. Holding up her second batch of bread rolls, she said: “Oh no… they’re actually hard as rocks! What am I going to do with them? This is such a fail.”
She continued pulling packets of bread rolls from the bag, and even though they weren’t all “hard”, two more batches were “burnt”. In total, she had four six-packs of rolls as well as two bags containing more rolls.
Aaliyah said that while the six-packs of rolls were “definitely edible”, the rolls in the bags were not. Demonstrating their hardness on camera, she remarked: “What am I going to do with that? Come on… I know it’s a Too Good To Go bag, but there’s also what’s edible. Would say, this was a big fat fail. And I won’t be getting the Morrisons one again.”
A Morrisons spokesperson told us: “Customers and colleagues continue to tell us how much they value Too Good To Go’s Surprise Bags from Morrisons. It saves customers money while also helping us to play our part in reducing food waste. Each Too Good To Go bag should contain quality food nearing its sell-by date, available at a reduced price. On this occasion, those standards fell short and we apologise to the customer for their experience.”
