This week, it's all about Too Good to Go! I've got £10, as usual, but this time, I'm buying 3 different Too Good to Go bags and seeing how long I can make them last.

I used to work in a Warrens (basically Cornish Greggs) and we had Too Good To Go- from what I remember here's how it works on the workers side of things. We got a number of bags we needed to make up (for us this was like 3-4 bags) and we would exclusively put sandwiches etc going out of date that day, and any pastries/baked goods that have exceeded their shelf life of 2 days. There was also a strict policy from my work that we could not put food in there that was still sellable, so it was kind of just the last pickings left over and rarely anything that exciting. It was extremely rare for us to have sausage rolls or bakes left over especially, usually our bags were full of sandwiches and belgian buns, kind of in line with what your Greggs bag ended up as. It 100% depends on the day and how many bags we needed to make, sometimes we'd only have to make one bag and we would have a tonne to go in there, other days we'd have multiple bags with barely enough for 3 items each. Luck of the draw tbh! Great video btw c:

Oh no fellow Cornishman spotted! Tried it one time with my local Warrens, got 3 medium steak and bacon bite for £4 I think it was... Only day I ever did it because I scranned them all in one day and realised I'd get fucking fat if I didn't delete the app immediately 😂

​@@SamWilder.Maybe some days are better than others. I've only watched a few of your videos have you done a video where you buy solely from reduced areas? Where I live Tunbridge Wells our Boots used to reduce their meal deal food items to 50p on Sundays...really good value for pretty good sandwiches, wraps, pasta salads...sadly they've stopped doing this 😢

I was looking at the Greggs thinking it looked like 4 meals 🤣. You could mix & match restaurant food & grocery store. You could probably make it go pretty far. It’s funny to hear you say “they obviously won’t eat donuts for breakfast“. people have donuts for breakfast in the US all the time.

Good challenge. You should do more of these. . My good to go bag I got from greggs last week was fantastic. The best one that I got. When I was handed the bag, i knew it was going to be. a good one. . In my bag were, 2x chicken bake 4pack sausage roll Roast chicken and bacon vlub Mexican chicken oval 2 yums 2 caramel custard doughnuts 2 jam doughnuts 2 ring doughnuts 1 gingerbread man I have had the Costa surprise bag once and wasn't impressed . I got 3 toasties! There's is absolutely no way I would buy the toasted sandwiches full price Try greggs again, you may get a good bag

you did well with the Costa bag- their usual policy is 3 items per bag (as is Starbucks) The costa bag I got was a ham and cheese toastie, a small brownie and a tuna sandwich. Worth what I paid for it but not amazing. We have Pound Bakery nearby their bags are amazing, especially if the manager gets carried away :)

Looks like a decent brunch from Toby Carvery that worked out to £1.40 day. Do they do an evening/dinner option? Those mushrooms and beans counted towards veggies. Beans can sometimes dry out a bit when left out for to long or over-heated. A little bit of water or some ketchup can help fix this. That vegan cheese and beans toastie looked pathetic. Riley sightings at 4:05, 7:38 & 12:08. A thought from Riley "A feast for the eyes, but not the stomach." Riley missed out on becoming Scooby Doo and chowing down on something yummy, maybe next time.

It's times like this, and only times like this, when I almost wish I lived in a major city. I would be all about Too Good To Go if I were able to access it. As much as I love cooking, the monotony of cooking 2 or 3 meals a day, day after day after day is just... uuugh. Sadly, where I live, restaurant meals and even fast food is ridiculously expensive so we almost always cook our meals at home.

I work in a food service job. Coffee Chains/bakeries and places like this are told to put an amount equal to 15-20 retail price. If there is a large amount of waste for that particular day and they are feeling generous they will add more to reduce waste. Sometimes if you just go in and ask towards the end of the day, and there is a large amount of waste, some places will give out things on the house to reduce waste. But I used to work for costa, if you have no cakes, chances are all the cakes were opened on that day and no cake has a 1 day shelf life. Muffins are 48 hours and some cakes have a shelf life of 5 days so if I were you, avoid the cakes from costa

Too Good to Go bags are filled to meet a minimum value set by that particular retailer - for example Greggs will give you at least £8 worth of items. I don't think those values have really changed at all over the last year or so, but their standard prices have obviously gone up so you end up with less from Too Good to Go compared to the mega full bags people got in the early days. Inflation sucks.

Reheating eggs is fine, often nuke left over egg foo yung, don't overdo it or they go like rubber and also dry out, reheating in a water bath depending on the type of egg may be best, cause EFY has liquor in it TBF so maybe it's why it reheats as well lol

I've had a few and they have been hit and miss. I got my first from a Nisa for about £2 and got 4 rustlers burgers and some tikka wraps then went to greggs on a Saturday and only got a few bits for £4. They are good if you are finishing work later and fancy a carvery at 8pm or a late breakfast though.
