£11 Waitrose Too Good To Go bags leaves shopper amazed | UK | Travel

Sharing the haul online, he explained: “Got two boxes as they had a good star rating and immediately realised I should have ordered one.” Despite the sheer volume of food, he insisted not a scrap would go to waste, thanks to the half-term holidays and ample freezer space at home. The man admitted he already knew Waitrose produce was typically “very high quality”, yet was still wholly unprepared for just how generous the bags would turn out to be.

He said: “They always do very good TGTG boxes but this was insane.” He posted an image of how much he got on Reddit, showing just how impressive his haul was, with more than 30 sandwiches and wraps, multiple ready meals, loaves of bread, fresh fruit, eclairs, and even a packet box of moules marinière.

Poking fun at the upmarket groceries, he joked that his children have absolutely no idea how fortunate they are, growing up with access to premium supermarket fare. “My childhood had considerably more Tesco Value and zero Waitrose or Charlie Bigham food,” he added.

The shopper also described how investing in a chest freezer has entirely transformed the way his family grocery shops, making the app even more financially rewarding. He revealed his wife is disabled while he works as a self-employed delivery driver, meaning cutting food costs has become vitally important to the household.

According to the shopper, Too Good To Go bags frequently contain substantial quantities of bread and fresh produce that would otherwise turn mouldy without sufficient freezer capacity. He continued: “Before TGTG I managed with the small fridge freezer I had, but a chest freezer means I can buy two bags without wasting anything.”

The shopper revealed he has snapped up more than 1,000 Too Good To Go bags over the years and described this specific haul as “the best one ever”. Online, fellow shoppers were similarly astonished by the quantity of food he secured for merely £11.

One person said: “I am so jealous, this is amazing!” Another posted: “That’s an insane amount of food for £11.” Others commended him for maximising his use of the app rather than allowing perfectly edible food to end up in bins.

The Too Good To Go app enables users to reserve surplus food bags from local cafés, restaurants and supermarkets before collection. Most bags generally cost between £2 and £5 depending on the retailer and feature food nearing its sell-by date that would otherwise be discarded.
