I’ve been trying out a new Android app called Too Good To Go.
It’s epic.
The way it works is you sign up (free) and browse the offers in your area. Pay in the app and go and pick up your cheap scran.
It’s business with excess food selling it off cheap rather than bin it. Near me there are hotels regularly offering breakfast items for £2-£3, artisan bakers, offering stuff for £3-4, sandwich shops, big restaurant chains and more.
I’ve just got back from picking up a lump of grub from an artisan bakery, over £15 worth of stuff for £3.50. Most of it went to mum’s place it was a fair bit of sweet stuff which I don’t eat. I kept a big slab of focaccia bread with cheese and pepper and a cinnamon Chelsea bun (brushed the sugar off) and they were both amazing. They were worth more than £3.50 alone.
It’s a ‘luck of the draw’ deal but I was able to choose a loaf of bread from a selection so went for the organic wholemeal which is now in the freezer at mum’s.
