    I've used TGTG a few times - some have been great but the last time I got a MrM bag half the items were past their Use By date (one item was six days past its Use By) and the previous collection at OneStop they had cancelled but didn't update the system.  Both got refunded without any issue but I'm reluctant now to use the app again.

    Olio is fab, I collect from Tesc0 once a week and have several neighbours who collect from me.  I also pick up quite a bit as there are a few people locally who collect.  
  • Definitely worth it, if you have an Olio collection nearby give it a try. 
    We get sandwiches, pasties loaves of bread every night, all free
