Woman buys £2.67 Too Good To Go bag from bakery and contents leave her gobsmacked
The Too Good To Go app has grown popular in recent years, with thrifty shoppers able to secure discounted food that would otherwise go to waste – but you never know what you're going to receive A woman who picked up a Too Good To Go bag for less than £3 was floored by what she found inside. Too Good To Go – an app that allows thrifty shoppers to score discounted food from shops, cafes and restaurants that would otherwise go to waste – has soared in popularity in recent years. People picking up the bags, however, have no say in what they will receive and the food they get isn't always what they might expect. One woman claims she nabbed the "best Too Good To Go haul ever", having scooped up £40 worth of food for just £2.67 using the app. Emily McAllister visited her local bakery to buy a sweet treat, using the app to cut costs. However, she wasn't expecting to be handed five bags stuffed full of delicious treats. The "shocked" 25-year-old, from Essex, unpacked her bags from Preston's Village Bakery in a TikTok clip which has racked up 79,000 views at the time of writing. 'This was my first time trying Too Good To Go and it honestly didn't disappoint,' marketing professional Emily told What's The Jam. 'It's such a great way to reduce food waste and I was shocked at how much I got for just £2.67. 'I shared it with neighbours, friends, and family so nothing went to waste.' Emily certainly got more than she bargained for, unpacking multiple loaves of fresh bread, 20 rolls, a number of croissants, cakes, scones, iced buns, tarts and pastries – and even pizza. After sharing out the goods, she placed the bread in the freezer to be used at a later date. Emily reckons she would have paid £30-£40 for her haul had she bought the items fresh. "For £2.67 this is crazy," she added. 'I feel like I'm going to be addicted to Too Good To Go. What a bargain.' After Emily shared the video on TikTok, it garnered thousands of likes and comments. One person wrote: 'Omg this is the best too good to go I've ever seen what a steal!!!!' Another person dubbed it an 'amazing deal'. Someone else joked: 'My freezer would be crying.' 'That's insane for 5 bags!! Amazing!' another user commented. 'Can't get over how much food this is!!!' wrote one user. Another commented: 'All this for £2.67 is CRAZY.' While Emily had a great experience with the app, some people have been left less than impressed with their own hauls. When Becky, who posts on TikTok as @beckysbazaar, went to collect her Too Good To Go bag from Millie's Cookies in Manchester's Trafford Centre, she was left confused. Becky explained the box had been listed as worth £12.60 but reduced to £6.29. However, when she opened the box, she said she saw "loads of different off-cuts." On Too Good To Go's website, they share their app is "the world's largest marketplace for surplus food". They explain they "help users rescue good food from going to waste, offering great value for money at local stores, cafes and restaurants."

Wigtown Show to become first Scottish agricultural show to host live birds since movement ban
More than 180 birds will be on show for visitors on Wednesday, along with more than 150 eggs. Wigtown Show is set to become the first agricultural show in Scotland to host live birds since the ban on the movement of birds. More than 180 birds will be on show for visitors on Wednesday, along with more than 150 eggs. There are also nearly 400 entries in the poultry themed arts and crafts competition, including photos, handicrafts and home baking. The bird movement ban was introduced to curb the spread of avian influenza. Rosslyn Wilson, who manages the poultry classes, said: 'Over the last three years we have seen an incredible number of entries for the arts and crafts, but it has always missed the clucking and crowing of birds so I'm delighted that, following months of work to ensure we comply with Scottish Government guidelines, we can bring back our feathered friends.' The show, taking place at Bladnoch Park, also features a dedicated family marquee with creepy crawlies, Zoo lab, Emily Blacks Dance School and fun play. There will also be a young handler class in the main ring ahead of the champion of champions judging. More than 400 livestock including cattle, sheep, horses and goats, will be on display along with more than 60 trade stands, the food and drink marquee and crafts. Steve Colley motorbike display, Ridgeside Little Nippers Racing and The Glenluce Vintage Tractors will provide a spectacle of live main ring entertainment. Wigtown Agricultural Society Chairman James Forsyth said: 'Since our first event in 1811, Wigtown Show has provided a day for the community to come together, connect with farming and enjoy a good social atmosphere. 'Living in a rural area, our towns and villages are surrounded by farming, and at the heart of many of these businesses is family. 'I am extremely proud that the show has always had an ethos to create a welcoming day that ensures that family feel is replicated, and this year we really wanted to offer even more to demonstrate our commitment to the future generations. 'Whether you join us for one hour, or for the whole day, there is plenty on offer for all ages and interests. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all those who make the show possible from the society and event committee, to our stewards, sponsors and exhibitors. See you all at Wigtown Show.'

Frank Skinner reveals how much Three Lions anthem made him over four years
Three Lions songwriter Frank Skinner, who released the song in collaboration with David Baddiel and the Lightning Seeds in 1996, has spoken about making money from the anthem Three Lions co-writer Frank Skinner has spoken about the profits from the football anthem following the Lionesses' victory in the Euro 2025 final last week. He's dismissed the "myth" that he has made "loads of money" from the song. Frank, 68, and David Baddiel, 61, released the song with the Lightning Seeds in 1996 in celebrate England's participation in the UEFA European Championship that year. The two comedians, who hosted Fantasy Football League together, co-wrote the song, which has since been re-released. Although it's topped the Official Singles Chart in the UK four times since its first release almost 30 years ago, Frank has said it hasn't made him as much money as some people may suspect. It comes after England's Euro 2025 winners to lose major chunk of prize money after return home. Frank was asked about Three Lions, which is known for the "it's coming home" chant, on an episode of the podcast Frank Off the Radio released yesterday. It came after a fan submitted a question about royalties from the song. Reading out the question submitted by a listener, his co-host Emily Dean asked: "Has David Baddiel made enquiries regarding any recent uptick in royalties?" Whilst addressing the question, Frank gave an insight into the situation. Responding, Frank said: "Um ... I ... no ... I don't know what's happening about the ..." Without finishing his previous comment, he told Emily instead: "As I always say, it's a myth that we made loads of money out of Three Lions." Emily said: "You once told me how much you made." Frank went on to say that the profits were worth an estimated £38,000 from Three Lions over a four year period, though he didn't specify when and if that was just his share. He said: "I think in total it was about ... I think it came out ... it was about 38 grand. Over four years." Frank continued by saying: "That's a lot of money, don't get me wrong! But, y'know, you imagine people get four Number 1s ..." His co-star Emily however shared that she had expected him to have made much more from the track. Comedian Sara Barron, who was a guest on the episode, suggested similarly and questioned why that hadn't been the case. Emily said: "I'll be honest, I thought it was about £4 million." Amid the discussion on the podcast, Sara then asked: "Yeah, why is it not £4 million?" Frank went on to tease: "Have you met my manager?" It isn't the first time that Frank has spoken about the financial impact of Three Lions. Asked about it on Radio X last year, he told Chris Moyles: "Honestly, I would say I made about £50,000 out of Three Lions." He added: "Seriously." Frank said at the time that he had a quarter of the profits from it. He also shared that he still gets a "kick" out of it when football fans sing Three Lions now, saying: "I do, yeah. They don't sing it as much on the terraces as they did [though]!"
