When you grab a Too Good To Go bag, you're in for a surprise, and one bloke got more than he bargained for with his Greggs purchase.
Owen Reeman, known as 'the random takeaway night guy' on TikTok, was hopeful of a tasty haul after returning to the Greggs shop where he'd previously struck gold. Too Good To Go is an app that lets customers snap up surplus grub from various supermarkets, cafes and restaurants at a bargain price, aiming to curb food waste.
Customers can't cherry-pick individual items - instead, they purchase mystery bags brimming with a medley of products left over from the day's trade. You might hit the jackpot with a heap of discounted baked goods, but sometimes the contents might catch you off guard.
In a TikTok video, Owen shared his experience with a Greggs Too Good To Go bag. Sat in his car, he said: "I've gone back to the Greggs that has done so well in the past.
"The previous two times there have been two of the greatest Too Good To Go bags of all time.", reports the Mirror.
"This bag, by the way, weighs an absolute tonne yet again." He then popped inside to check out his latest Greggs goodies.
Owen added: "[This is] the third bag from this Greggs, can they make it three bags in a row of absolutely sensational value?".
Upon peeking inside the bag, he burst into laughter and announced: "This might be the funniest Too Good To Go bag yet."
He described the haul as "still really good value, but it's also very funny" showcasing his bounty that began with four sausage rolls.
As he delved deeper into the mystery bag, Owen revealed another eight sausage rolls, making it a dozen in total. The sweet finale to his assortment was a Jammy Heart Biscuit, "for good measure" which retails at £1.35 and features a shortbread biscuit with a raspberry jam centre, while the iconic sausage rolls cost £1.30 apiece.
Snagging a Too Good To Go bag from Greggs, typically priced between £2.59 and £3.15, Owen pocketed a tidy saving. Reflecting on his finds, he commented: "So it's still like 12, 13 quid but it's just 12 sausage rolls.
"Clearly there was quite a lot going at the end of the day, there was a lot to get rid of and they've given me all of them so thank you Greggs I guess."
Owen expressed satisfaction, noting "you can't complain" and mused that a dozen sausage rolls is preferable to an equal number of less appealing items, concluding he had a "good result".
His TikTok video has since stirred up over 260 comments, including one from Too Good To Go, which read: "Sausage rolls saved from going to waste + snacks for days."
Another commenter shared: "This happened to my son so he left them on the kitchen side of his house and nipped down the chippy. Everyone had sausage rolls and chips for tea!".
A third user shared their experience with a bargain food bag, saying: "I would be well happy with that. I got a Too Good To Go bag from Greggs and it contained a pack of 5 jam donuts which were soggy in the packet, 3 of the caramel custard donuts and a chicken and bacon pasta salad."
They added, somewhat disappointedly: "I ate the pasta salad and the rest went in the bin."
Echoing the positive sentiment, a fourth user enthused: "I'd be over the moon with that! ! !".
