'I got £8 Too Good To Go bag from Harrods and couldn't believe what was inside'
Too Good To Go has proven a popular way to reduce food waste, but you can never be sure of what you're going to get – as one woman learned after purchasing a bag from Harrods for £8 Ever since Too Good To Go launched in 2016, millions of hungry Brits have used the app to snap up a bargain deal while also reducing food waste. The app allows users to find local restaurants, supermarkets, and takeaways offering leftover food at a heavily discounted rate as it would otherwise go to waste. The scheme became incredibly popular during the Covid-19 pandemic, with supermarkets and other shops joining in, allowing customers to pick up items nearing their expiry date. Since then, shoppers have been keen to show off their hauls on social media, with many proudly declaring they've picked up a bag that's incredible value for money. If you live in or have spent any time in central London recently, you may have spotted the luxury department store Harrods on the Too Good To Go app. While their bags are very popular – often selling out within minutes – some lucky shoppers have managed to get their hands on discounted items from their food hall. One of these people was 27-year-old Londoner Roshini, who took to TikTok on June 1 to share the contents of the £8 Too Good To Go bag she had bought from the luxury store, and it had saved her over £18 for the products she got. "It was on the App for literally less than 2 mins before it got sold out!" she wrote in the caption of the video. She went on to unpack the bag on camera, revealing the items she'd received and how much they originally retailed for in store. First up were a funfetti vanilla cake slice and a chocolate fudge cake slice, both worth £5.50 each. Next was a Japanese milk bread loaf, worth £6.50, as well as a loaf of brioche – which was also originally priced at £6.50. Happy with what she got, Roshini posted a follow-up video after fans clamoured for her to review the items. In her food review, Roshini started off with the Japanese milk bread, which she scored a six out of 10. She said: "I left it in the fridge so it's a bit stale, but it's really fluffy inside." Tasting it, Roshini explain it wasn't sweet, as she'd expected, but instead said it taste like a really nice bread. Next up was the funfetti vanilla cake slice, with Roshini saying: "Now, I've heard really good reviews about this one so I'm hoping it's just as good as it sounds." After showing off the neat layers of the cake, she took a bite and immediately burst into a smile, saying: "It's good. Oh my god. Even if you don't get the Too Good To Go bag, just getting it for five fifty alone is really good, like I'd definitely get this cake again. This is really good." After scoring it a 10 out of 10, she moved on to the chocolate fudge cake, which she said was also a really nice cake but that she preferred the funfetti one. Because of this, she scored the chocolate fudge cake slice an eight out of 10. Lastly was the brioche loaf, which Roshini revealed she'd had already tasted after wanting to use it for a sandwich earlier that day. "It smells really good. It is very buttery and it has, you can taste the salt but it's not very overpowering," she explained before showing the viewers how fluffy the bread was. Overall, it scored another eight out of 10 in total. People quickly took to the comment sections of Roshini's videos, with many praising the bag for being 'the best' Too Good To Go bag. "Omg I can never get one when I go on the app, I've tried so many times," one person wrote. Another person praised it as ""Best too good to go bag I've seen!!" "I'm surprised, £5.50 for a slice of cake is quite reasonable," a third person said.

Family members convicted of fatally stabbing woman in "honor killing"
A Dutch court on Thursday sentenced four men to 25 years for the "honor killing" of a woman stabbed to death in broad daylight in front of her three-year-old daughter. The 28-year-old Roshin was stabbed 28 times by her elder brother as she walked with her daughter in the eastern Dutch city of Apeldoorn in September 2023. "A more gruesome end to a human life is hard to imagine. Her daughter saw her mother killed in a very violent way," according to the court verdict. Alongside the 25-year sentence for the elder brother, identified as 36-year-old Peshang A., the court also sentenced another brother and two cousins for their part in the murder. "The audio and chat messages that the men sent to each other show that they decided together that the victim had to die, because she violated the family's honour," said the court. After the victim had divorced, the family wanted her to move in with her parents in The Hague, but she chose to stay in Apeldoorn with her daughter and started a new relationship. "The four men then made preparations together to carry out that plan, deliberately keeping the rest of the family out of the execution plans," according to the verdict. Peshang A. reportedly tried to escape the court after the verdict, but was restrained by police. The court also ordered the four men to pay $73,000 to the daughter. "Honor killings" are especially common in Pakistan. Much of Pakistani society operates under a strict code of "honor," with women beholden to their male relatives over choices around education, employment and who they can marry. Last April, a Pakistani man who allegedly filmed his brother strangling their sister to death has been arrested as part of the latest "honor" killing that outraged the country. In 2023, Pakistani authorities arrested four people who allegedly killed an 18-year-old woman in the purported name of "honor" after a picture of her sitting with a boyfriend went viral on social media,. Police said the photo had been doctored and posted on fake social media accounts. There were 384 "honor killings" reported in 2022 alone, according to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.
