Mum buys mystery bag from Greggs for £3.15 and contents inside leave her floored
A mum who bought a mystery bag from Greggs has been stunned by the contents of her purchase. The Too Good To Go food bag, which offers discounted food items in a bundle bag, featured a fantastic haul of food for Alice Nash. The mum managed to grab £33 worth of Greggs food items for just £3.15, and broke down what she had received from the purchase.
Alice, from Wiltshire, only just started using the Too Good To Go app and nothing could have prepared her for the impressive haul she got from the popular pastry chain. The bag she received was crammed full of sweet treats and savoury snacks.
A total of 14 items were put in the mystery bag, with Alice, 28, sharing her haul on social media.
The collection of items included three custard slices, a Margherita pizza slice, a box of two Yum Yums, a Chelsea bun, a Southern fried chicken baguette, a cheese and ham toastie, a tuna cucumber sandwich, a cheese Ploughman's roll, a steak bake, a veggie bake, a cheese, beans and sausage bake and a BLT sandwich.
Mum-of-two Alice and partner Kyle had only wanted a light bite after their big lunch but were left with far more than they bargained for upon collecting their order.
Speaking to What's the Jam, Alice said: "It's definitely the best bag we've received out of all the places we've purchased from, as there was such a variety.
"I have been told this is a lot more than anyone normally gets since I posted my TikTok, so I know we got very lucky. My partner Kyle picked it up and immediately rang me and said he couldn't believe how much food there was.
'It was our first time getting a Greggs bag, and we didn't know what to expect. We thought we'd get maybe a sandwich and a bake – not a whole feast."
Her food haul was shared to TikTok, where members of the public shared their envy after seeing the "best bag" from Too Good To Go.
Others were left in disbelief, saying that there is "not supposed to be that much" in one bag. Another added: "You don't get all that in one bag - you must have bought four bags."
Alice had the tuna sandwich, her daughter went for the toastie, and her partner tucked into a sandwich and one of the bakes.
The rest was shared out the next day, including a delivery to her dad at work, who was more than happy to help finish it all off.
Alice said: 'My daughter loves the surprise element to the bags, so we like to buy them, but always make sure it's from a place we know we will eat from and make use of the items.
'My dad was very happy when my partner turned up with lunch ready for them at work. Nothing went to waste, and it was all gone within two days. It felt like winning the Too Good To Go lottery.
"We'll definitely be getting another Greggs bag – but I don't think we'll ever top this one."

I'm getting ready in my mum's house, I'm in my old room." The former reality star, who has since returned to her day job as a social worker, admitted she didn't get many photos and videos of the big moment as it took her by surprise. She explained: "Okay, the biggest thing just happened! "We don't have many videos of the proposal but I did not expect or see this coming. I honestly thought it was just a random date night that Kai had put together but yeah, I am so shocked and happy!" After she said yes, the couple went for a romantic meal out together. They returned to a hotel room that was adorned with decorations, including balloons, petals and photos showing some of their best times together.

Angry mum leaves Butlin's after 'beds wet' and daughter had 'poo on hands'
Mum Jasmine took to TikTok to share her disappointment with the accommodation at the Skegness holiday park. Butlin's has apologised after a family checked in to a "grimy" and "damp" room which was "in need of a massive deep clean". Mum Jasmine took to TikTok to share her disappointment with the accommodation at the Skegness holiday park. Sharing clips of the filthy room with her 19,000 followers, she said: "I could make a 10-minute video on all of the issues in here but here's some of them." Jasmine, who went on to give a tour of the room, added: "Even walking up to the room I felt grimy. This is the Butlin's comfort room. This is my sign to not blindly book something hahaha." As reported by the Mirro r, she said they couldn't stand to sleep in the room for more than one night as she showed dirt throughout, including in the shower and the bin. In her voiceover, Jasmine said: "I was meant to book the apartment but I didn't realise. When I first walked in there and I saw there's only two rooms and one bathroom in the middle, I thought, 'Where's the rest of it?'. "I am going to emphasise that was not Butlin's fault at all though to be fair - it was my fault. So anyway I don't know if the videos can do it justice because the smell when I walked in there was just absolutely wild. "This isn't the cleaner's fault or anything like that - it's the turnover rate is the issue. These rooms need massive deep cleans because a quick once over is not going to help." "I didn't even want to shower in there - in fact, I didn't shower in there. I ended up going to the swimming pools to have a shower. "We spent one night in this room and the beds were so damp - my daughter even woke up asking why the bed was so wet. "I can't explain the smell. I know I keep saying it but it was horrific. The mould was over the windows, there were cobwebs up the walls... This was a dead bug on our bed and then our daughter got poo on her hand walking out and I was like 'nah, that's it, 100% I am going.' "The stuff kids can do here is amazing though - I will not fault Butlins for that. It is just a shame about the room." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

A spokesperson for the holiday park said: 'We're sorry and disappointed to see the cleanliness issues the guest experienced with their accommodation. This certainly isn't the high standards we expect our guests to receive when they holiday with us. We carried out a full reclean and offered a gesture of goodwill which was accepted.' Others shared similar experiences in the comments, with one person writing: "This looks so much cleaner than our room [laughing emoji]." Another person said: "Skegness I had the most horrible room haven't ever gone back. It was a hot year window broke couldn't open it, bedding didn't get changed stuff left under the bed etc was horrible." However, another visitor insisted they had only ever had positive experiences at the holiday park, writing: "Which Butlin's is this?? We've always been to skeg one and never had a room like this. That's grim."
