I got 6 meals for £3.79 thanks to a Morrisons Café Too Good To Go bag
Too Good To Go is an app that allows members of the public to buy surplus food at a discounted rate, allowing them to bag a bargain while saving food from going in the bin.
From Toby Carvery to Greggs, I've tried a few bags now, but this time, I got my hands on a Morrisons Café mystery bag to see what I got inside and if it was worth it.
The app allows you to search for mystery bags that are available to collect in your local area so that's exactly what I did – here's how it went.

On the app, I was told I'd get a mix of cakes and sandwiches, but my bag was filled with sandwiches that had a variety of fillings.
Although the sweet tooth in me was a little disappointed I didn't get any cake, I was still amazed at how generous the café was.
In the bag, I got an impressive six sandwiches ranging from Ham and Mature Cheddar on Malted Bread to a Meatball Marinara in a White Sub, ideal if you're heading out for a picnic or you're entertaining friends or family at home.
I think six sandwiches for the price of £3.79 is a bargain since each sandwich can be a meal.

In the brown paper bag given to me by a Morrisons staff member were the following items:
Sandwiches:
Cheddar Cheese on White Bread x2
Ham & Mature Cheddar on Malted Bread
Double Egg & Cress on Malted Bread
Panini:
Chargrilled Veg & Basil Pesto in a White Panini
Sub:
Meatball Marinara in a Soft White Sub
With the sandwiches having short dates, picking up one of these bags is ideal if you can dish them out and get them eaten pretty quick, but I think some will last better than others.
The app had crossed £7.50 out above the £3.79 price, but I'm not sure if this is what the bag should've cost or what the items inside would've come to had I bought them individually at the Morrisons Café, but I think it was a good deal anyway.
Recommended reading:
Overall, I'd recommend trying a Too Good To Go mystery bag to see what you get - it could make for a cheap lunch or dinner option, depending on where you go and what's inside the bag.
I think the surprise element is what makes picking up one of the bags a fun exercise, if you're not a fussy eater, that is.
One downside is that you might have to collect a mystery bag late in the day when a store or restaurant is about to close, but each bag has its collection time stated, so you can choose one that suits you best, for example, on the way home from work.

I tried: These award winning cheeses made in Gwent
JAMES Joyce once described cheese as 'the corpse of milk.' As a veteran cheddar sceptic there's nothing more corpsey than cheddar 'cheese'. I also regard adding faddish ingredients to cheese as pointless. Cheese is just milk, culture and time. So, when challenged to try a cheddar that has cider and marmalade added to the mix, I envied those munching - or slurping - on pot noodles. I had long dismissed cheddar as dairy's beige wallpaper, fit only for grilling, a workday sarnie filler or to placate uncouth guests with a token cheese plate. Proper cheese, I insisted, should challenge the palate, not comfort it. So, when I was dared to try Blaenafon Cheddar infused with onion marmalade and taffy apple cider, I braced myself for disappointment, culture shock and possible revulsion. My last brave food assignment was trying what was billed as 'Wales's best hot dog' at Aimmee's Street Food, and was impressed by the top dog! I do believe in food redemption, but not in miracles, so I didn't hold out much hope for cheddar from Blaenavon with added bits. Taste test: Ok, I was completely wrong about cheese and my own palate! From the first bite, it was clear this was no ordinary cheddar. The texture was a revelation, buttery and still as crumbly as any quality mature cheddar. The mouthfeel was exquisite, the combination of complexities made me search for cheese accompaniments and pretentious foodie words like 'umami'. The flavour was layered and complex. The mature cheddar brought a deep, savoury hit, while the onion marmalade added a smoky sweetness that contrasted the crisp cider vibe. It was sweet and sharp, rustic and refined, a cheese with true character. This is no sandwich filler, toastie griller or sop to uncultured palates. It was a conversation starter, a centrepiece, a must-try for anyone who thinks cheddar has to be dull - fromage ennui! This delightful cheese challenged me and taught me something I didn't know - that cheddar is a great cheese and deserves its place on any discerning plate. Blaenafon Cheddar has earned its place not just on my cheese board, but in my heart. It is proof that even the most familiar cheeses can surprise you, if you give them the chance. These cheddars are handmade, vegetarian-friendly, and wax-coated, which gives it a six-month shelf life. The above reviewed taffy apple cider and onion marmalade-infused cheese is an award-winning cheddar and is among several products that use local alcohols that act as natural preservative. The 1868 cheddar is aged in the cellars of The Lion Hotel. The Pwll Mawr cheese is matured in Big Pit coal mine, 300ft below the surface. All wax casings show Blaenavon industrial heritage designs. Eat them all, you'll have no regrets.
