'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.
