It’s certainly no secret that Too Good To Go’s food waste-fighting ‘magic bags’ are a culinary lottery. It all depends on availability, meaning some days you’ll receive a sad looking salad, and others you’ll find yourself with half a weekly shop.
While you can never guarantee what’s in your magic bag, you can certainly increase your chances of enjoying what will be inside, by carefully choosing where to collect your bags from.
For example, you can’t go far wrong with Greggs, who rotate their stock daily, which is a good chance you’ll get some warm bakes and maybe a sweet treat. However, some places are a lot more unpredictable, like Morrisons and Aldi, where you could get some packet chicken and some tomatoes and not really know what to do with them.
