'I spent £3 on Greggs Too Good To Go Bag and was floored by what was in it'
The Too Good To Go app is perfect for those trying to do this as it connects users with local stores, cafes, and restaurants that have surplus unsold food and sells it to them for a cheaper price Many people like buying themselves a lunch or a treat now and again from one of the many high street food outlets. However, with the ongoing cost of living crisis continuing in the UK, many are doing all they can to save cash where possible. The Too Good To Go app is perfect for those trying to do this as it connects users with local stores, cafes, and restaurants that have surplus unsold food and sells it to them for a cheaper price. This means that as well as saving money, it is also helping cut food waste. A lot of people often share their Too Good To Go hauls online now on sites such as Facebook to spread the word about outlets who provide good value 'surprise bags' and ones to avoid. One woman named Charlotte decided to do exactly that recently as she posted about her Greggs bag. Charlotte told people she'd paid £2.99 for the bag and was left shocked when she saw what was inside of it. The post read: "Finally got a Greggs and well worth the wait! Awesome bag. Chicken baguette, Ham and egg roll, Steak bake, cheese and onion bake, two gingerbread men and two big yum-yums! £2.99!" She included a photo of all the goodies she got as her post racked up more than 80 likes. People agreed that she'd definitely got a good haul, as one person wrote: "Crikey best one I have seen yet." Charlotte isn't the only Too Good To Go user who has been impressed by her Greggs bag recently either. Mum-of-two Alice Nash also shared her incredible surprise bag only, where she got £33 worth of Greggs food items for just £3.15. Alice, from Wiltshire, said she received a bag crammed full of sweet treats and savoury snacks – with 14 items in total. This included three custard slices, a Margherita pizza slice, a box of two Yum Yums, a Chelsea bun, a Southern fried chicken baguette, a cheese and ham toastie, a tuna cucumber sandwich, a cheese Ploughman's roll, a steak bake, a veggie bake, a cheese, beans and sausage bake and a BLT sandwich. Speaking to What's the Jam, Alice said: "It's definitely the best bag we've received out of all the places we've purchased from, as there was such a variety. "I have been told this is a lot more than anyone normally gets since I posted my TikTok, so I know we got very lucky. My partner Kyle picked it up and immediately rang me and said he couldn't believe how much food there was. 'It was our first time getting a Greggs bag, and we didn't know what to expect. We thought we'd get maybe a sandwich and a bake – not a whole feast."

Lidl poised to overtake struggling Morrisons as UK's fifth largest supermarket
Lidl looks set to overtake Morrisons as the UK's fifth- largest supermarket after its market share hit a record high this summer. More than half a million new customers flocked to the discount retailer's 960 stores amid concerns over higher grocery bills. Lidl is now hot on the heels of Morrisons after its slice of the market hit 8.3 per cent over the three months to July 13, according to industry research group Worldpanel. Lidl sales over the period were 11.1 per cent higher than a year earlier when its share of the market was 7.8 per cent. The surge saw it further narrow the gap with rival Morrisons, whose market share has fallen from 8.7 per cent to 8.4 per cent in the past year, the report showed. Morrisons has already lost its position as the fourth-biggest grocer in Britain to Aldi. Nearly two thirds of households told Worldpanel they are very concerned about the cost of their grocery shopping. Price increases on key goods including cocoa and beef have ramped up pressure on supermarket chains locked in a bitter battle to retain shoppers. Morrisons' slip comes as boss Rami Baitieh attempts to engineer a recovery at the private-equity owned group. Last month, he said it had 'bounced back' after its technology supplier Blue Yonder was hit by hackers in November, throwing its stock systems into disarray. Morrisons has lost sales and market share to cheaper rivals since its takeover by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) in a debt-fuelled £7billion deal in October 2021. After Labour piled on costs for retailers at the Budget last year, Morrisons cut more than 350 jobs across its cafes, convenience stores, florists and fresh food counters, in March. The figures also underscored the woes facing Britain's third-largest grocer, Asda. The firm, also owned by private equity, saw sales plunge 3 per cent from £4.4billion to £4.25billion over the past three months, while its market share fell to 11.8 per cent. The dire performance came after executive chairman Allan Leighton insisted the 'green shoots' of recovery are appearing as it slashes the price of thousands of products and improves stock levels. A spokesman for Lidl said the record market share was 'a clear signal that shoppers are voting with their feet. 'This milestone reflects our long-standing position as the fastest-growing bricks-and-mortar supermarket in the UK, as well as our commitment to offering high quality, affordable produce – which is why we've attracted more than half a million new customers.' Meanwhile, Tesco improved its share to 28.3 per cent as sales grew by 7.1 per cent, the fastest rate since December 2023. And Britain's number two supermarket Sainsbury's saw sales climb by 5.3 per cent, putting its market share at 15.1 per cent. Tesco boss Ken Murphy has warned that Tesco was ready to take a £400million hit to profits this year as the competition hots up.
