    There’s a thread about it on here somewhere. Here you go.

    So far unimpressed because the shops involved are all a considerable distance away.  Today for the first time two local shops appeared - one an upmarket bakery (tried their bread, no better than supermarket, not as good as I make) and a breakfast bag from Prêt tomorrow morning.  Even if the Prêt bag is worth it, it will have far too much for a singleton!

    We only use the Morrisons TGTG bags and we've had some good ones and some not so good ones!  We had one reserved for collection this afternoon and then this morning got an email saying it had been cancelled.  This has happened several times with them and it's quite annoying.

    I stopped doing this, way too fussy and/or eating things that aren't very healthy but was tempted by an M&S one yesterday, it was £5 so on the pricier side but very disappointing.  Three chicken sandwiches and some chicken nugget things, I only eat free range chicken and I don't think even i would risk out of date chicken.  Just bad luck maybe but also didn't pay any less than the yellow stickers that they had on them.  My other supermarket buys are a full bag of food.

    Luckily I have unfussy neighbours so it wasn't wasted!

    Sorry to resurrect this thread but I don't appear to have the 'new thread' pink button.

    I've reserved and paid for a surprise bag at my local supermarket. However, I was expecting some sort of code or directions as to how to collect. Can someone explain how the system works?

    Mine are nearly all Greggs locally, so I only occasionally get them as the contents are tasty but very unhealthy
