But it saves me a TON of money every month, not having to buy and make coffee. The location is literally opposite side of highway from work. LOVE it!! @@mumthings

I have today picked up a bag from my local Morrisons small shop and this is what I had....... fresh veg soup, 2 x chicken kievs, Richmond sausages, minced beef and onion pie, 2 x mac & cheese ready meals (my daughter said it was fab), a snacky chicken kebab, 3 x toffee muller yogurts, a 6 pack strawberry mousse pots, blueberries, grapes, herby new potatoes, and a loaf of fresh bakery bread. Insane and all totally good and fresh. I don't get bags often as I live in a small town and it's tricky to catch them, and I work so can't always pick up, but, really, this was a very exciting bag :) apparently would have cost me £27.94, which is utter madness!!!! Love your videos.

You could freeze one of those gammon for Christmas you got real bargains I'd never pay 2 .99p for a sausage mash in a Yorkshire pud the other gammon you could cut into slices and freeze or cook slice and freeze into so many slices in a pack for sandwiches or have gammon egg and chips one of my favorite quick meals

A small box Sushi (which we don't like) , a box of custard tarts, 2 small packs of water melon, a bag of fresh mint and 5 bags of fresh rosemary, that was it. I think that would struggle to reach the alleged £10 minimum value. You win some, you loose some.

I have spent the weekend so far, binge watching your Too Good To Go playlist. I have come to the end, already feeling the withdrawal. I know it is basically watching someone take food out of a box but it is so mesmerizing. Like a magic show - what will happen next?! They should definitely make you their spokesperson. Love your tell it like it is, humourous approach. I also watched your Q & A where you spoke of your trip to Whistler, Vancouver and Quebec. Grew up in Southern Ontario and now live on Vancouver Island so I am very familiar. We have Too Good To Go App here however from what I can see it is just Tim Horton's and 7-11 who participate in my area. I too am Celiac (maybe that's why I bonded so much with your channel) and live alone so neither of these are good options. We also have the Flash Food app here, I think it is just Canada and US. It is a similar concept but it is specific items and a quantity of them. However, there is only 1 grocery store (part of a national chain) participating anywhere near me. For example right now I can see a fruit box or veg box for $5 (about 3 pound sterling). No idea how big it is though. Hopefully it will expand soon, maybe I will give it a try anyway. For now, I guess I will move on to your Food Haul or Budget Challenge playlists. Keep up the great content and Hi to Ed!

Obviously varies on weight and whether you want to roast or boil it. Usually a 2kilo joint takes about 20 to 25 minutes. I then do either a brown sugar light rub or an orange marmalade rub for another 10 minutes, but ham should already be cooked. I leave it to self cool in the pot.

Our impression was the young girl was run off her feet and nothing had been removed from the shelves that had the reductions for the day so she had grabbed whatever she could. I did complain - to the CEO of Aldi and got an apology and a voucher. We have come to the conclusion that it is better for us to shop later on when the reductions have been done and choose what we will eat. We will try TGTG at other places though.
