Has anyone here used Too Good To Go?

TGTG isn't advisable if you and your family are fussy eaters

I wasnt too impressed, I waited half an hour with three others waiting for the bags to be brought out.  This was a large morrisons, I got fennel, strawberries, 2 potatoes, gluten free bread, rolls outdated yesterday, some marmite cheese, 2 minced beef pies and a pack of jam donuts. A bit random, will try elsewhere.

Isn't that the nature of the beast?

If certainty is what you are looking for, I guess you need to narrow the sources - maybe a coffee shop could be more predictable.

Or use a Morrisons in a petrol station. Less likely to get F&V - as don't sell much - more ready meals, pies etc.

Lots of BPs / M&S are on TGTG. Today's offering locally were Valentines chocolates, the went fast!

I've been patiently waiting for my local farm shop to have a bag available but it's not forthcoming. 
I do have an easy access M&S at the nearby services so I may  try one of those before long if the Farm shop doesn't come up trumps

I’ve been using TGTG for a while now. The bags from Greggs are always very popular and snapped up within minutes of them appearing on the app. Always lots of food and at around £2.50 is a bargain 🙂 Prets bags are normally pretty good too with the lunch and dinner bags normally around £4 and easily feeds both my OH and myself 😁 even better though is grabbing free Prets food via the Olio app but you have to be lightening fast with your requests!

Certainly agree, it's a lottery as has been mentioned. I wont waste anything, and I have since done a greggs one, which I shared with my parents. Along with yesterday's strawberries and donuts, they were very pleased as they usually have a sandwich at 6 in the evening as they eat their main meals at lunchtime.

I noticed today that at 4pm, lots of local coffee shops suddenly had a few bags, collection between 4.30 to 5pm. 

It seems the early bird gets the worm.😃

I had to drop some stuff at my inlaws and noticed a garage morrisons had one on immediate collection. So I took a punt, loads of veg, onions, spring onions, soup mix, tenderstem broccoli, bag salad, tomatoes along with steak bakes, ham, chicken tikka, greek yoghurt and a flapjack.
