Woman furious with £4.40 Too Good To Go bag from Asda after seeing contents
Florence Gibbs-Price was keen to try the Too Good To Go app and managed to bag herself an order from her local Asda Express - but was left underwhelmed by the contents Too Good To Go bags always come with a bit of a gamble as the contents you receive are selected at random, but one woman was left utterly astounded when she opened her £4.40 mystery box from Asda, as it was vastly different from her expectations. Florence Gibbs-Price, from Yorkshire, had been keen to test out the Too Good To Go app, which offers a platform for shops to sell surplus food at a reduced price rather than wasting it, and managed to secure a collection from her local Asda Express. But despite getting the goody bag at a discounted price, she was unhappy with what was inside. The Too Good To Go app doesn't allow users to select specific items; instead, they purchase 'surprise bags' that are filled with an assortment of products the store would otherwise discard. While sometimes these bags can be a treasure trove of discounted bakery items, other times they might be underwhelming. However, Florence's encounter with the Asda 'surprise bag' turned out to be quite disappointing. She had snagged a bag that was supposed to have the chance of being filled with sandwiches, fruit, vegetables, and tinned goods. But upon returning home and inspecting her bounty, she was greeted by seven lettuces, 13 bags of salad, and just one pot of fruit. The 24-year-old woman expressed her surprise, stating: "I was shocked that it was all the same thing—and way too much for even a family of four to consume in one night. The app said [it would be] sandwiches, fruit, vegetables, and tinned goods, so I was hoping for more of a variety." Florence was left utterly bewildered as she unpacked her mystery bag for a TikTok video, pulling out an array of lettuces to her astonishment. In the footage, she can be heard exclaiming: "It's all salad! You should see the state of my kitchen right now - it's just lettuce. What the hell am I meant to do with all these vegetables?" TikTok users quipped that Florence's best bet would be to get a rabbit or guinea pig to tackle the mountain of greens, especially since they were marked down with a yellow sticker indicating they were close to their sell-by date. After voicing her dismay to Too Good To Go, Florence received a £2.20 voucher in for her disappointing order. She intends to use the voucher so it doesn't go to waste, but admits this ordeal has put her off using the app in future, saying it "definitely ruined the experience". She further commented: "I think it's a bit of a joke, but I'd rather make the most of the voucher and try again at maybe a different store. But after that, I doubt I'll use it [Too Good To Go] again." On its website, Too Good To Go explains that the surprise element of their bags is due to the unpredictable nature of surplus food, meaning if there's an excess of lettuce, that's what customers will find in their bags. Their statement reads: "We've found that the best way to combat wasting surplus food is by giving stores the flexibility to distribute whatever they have left at the end of the day, which can vary." They also recognise that there may be instances where customers are not fond of the food items in their bag. However, they recommend that to prevent any wastage, any undesired food should be shared with family, friends, or neighbours.

Morrison offers cheapest grocery basket in UK beating Tesco, Sainsbury's and Asda
Thanks to eight promotions, Morrisons has now become the cheapest supermarket. Everyone has their go-to supermarket that they frequently pick over other stores. While we may dip our toe into other shops when in close proximity, there is normally one that we value over others for its prices, range of products, or quality of food. However, for those who want to get the most amount of products for your money, it seems like there is a new frontrunner. Morrisons has now claimed the title of the UK's cheapest supermarket basket. Using a range of discounts and promotions, Morrisons was able to outperform its rivals Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's to claim the top spot. In a comparison from Grocer 33, which does weekly price comparisons and mystery shopping surveys, Morrisons came out with the lowest overall basket cost from the five stores analysed. With a total price of £72.39, Morrisons was able to take the title due to having eight deep promotions on key branded items, reports the Express. This includes promotions on Birds Eye chicken pies and This plant-based sausages. The reductions in price, which were part of a wider group of 16 promotions, helped the supermarket cut 9.8 per cent off its overall base prices. In terms of the supermarket price wars, Morrisons' recent win marks a notable shift, as it usually lags behind rivals Tesco and Asda when it comes to competitive pricing. However, by combining price reductions and multibuy offers, Morrisons was able to snag the win, leaving Asda in second place. The rival supermarket's total basket was only 30p more at a price of £72.69. Overall, Asda had more exclusively cheaper items in comparison to its competitors, with 13 of its products topping the affordability chart. Some of the items included dauphinoise potatoes, Kellogg's Coco Pops cereal bars and Absolut & Sprite RTD can. However, when looking at the multibuy savings, Morrison was 6.4 per cent better than Asda. This shows how important strategic promotional pricing can be to overall savings. At 4.7 per cent more expensive than Morrisons, Sainsburys came in third place with a basket price of £75.96. While the retailer lacked the volume of deals offered by the other two supermarkets, they did offer the best price on muffins and Muller Rice. Tesco was not far behind with a basket cost of £76.66. This basket price was helped by the supermarket's Clubcard Prices, which reduced the price of select items such as Oreo Ice Cream Mini Sandwiches and Schar gluten-free loaf. However, this still didn't make as big of an impact as its rivals. Unsurprisingly, Waitrose had the most expensive basket of the five stores, with a total cost of £82.79 - £10 more expensive than Morrisons. However, if anyone was looking for Marigold gloves or Alpro coconut milk, Waitrose offered the best prices. According to data from the Office of National Statistics, chocolate prices have been seen to shoot up this year, with an increase of 17.7 per cent this year up to May. One of the steepest hikes in price was on Cabury's drinking chocolate - up by 14 per cent. However, chocolate isn't the only product to see significant rises, as sausages have also experienced a similar price hike. On the flip side, 17 products selected for the Grocer 33 basket were surprisingly cheaper than this time last year. For example, Nivea moisturiser fell by 11 per cent, while Dauphinoise potatoes dropped by 13 per cent. To see the full analysis from Grocer 33, click HERE.

Full list of discontinued drinks & snacks coming back this July after being away for years – including 80s retro sweet
A nostalgic 90s alcopop is about to make a comeback TASTY TREATS Full list of discontinued drinks & snacks coming back this July after being away for years – including 80s retro sweet Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FROM an iconic retro sweet to a nostalgic noughties chocolate bar, a whole host of discontinued snacks and drinks are returning to UK shelves this month. Brands sometimes discontinue tasty treats after they fall in popularity, often leaving shoppers devastated. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 A number of discontinued snacks are returning to UK shelves Credit: Alamy However, the snacks can end up making a return to shelves if customer demand increases. White Malteasers White Malteasers were axed 11 years ago, but eagle-eyed shoppers have begun spotting them back in stores when doing their weekly shop in Morrisons. Customers can buy a 30g pack for £1.05, 74g pack for £2.50 or a larger 126g sharing bag for £2.95. 6 White Malteasers have returned to Morrison's stores Credit: Facebook Morrisons said the white Maltesers are a permanent addition and available in the majority of its stores. Their return comes after shoppers pleaded with Mars to bring them back. The treat first launched in 2003 but was taken off shelves back in 2014. The spin on the classic milk chocolate Maltesers was originally launched as a seasonal product but was made permanent due to its popularity Dairy Milk Balls Snack fans have spotted another chocolatey treat on supermarket shelves this month, and have likened in to a discontinued Cadbury product. Cadbury Dairy Milk Balls are said to resemble Cadbury Tasters, which first launched in 1996. 6 Dairy Milk Balls have been likened by snack fans to Tasters Credit: Facebook/ Food Finds UK Despite their rich flavour, they were quietly axed in the mid-2000s due to slow sales. Iconic 80s retro sweet RETURNS to UK supermarket shelves after a decade The treats have been spotted in Iceland for £3.50, or £6 for two packs. Wham Bar Iconic retro sweet, the Wham Bar has made a return to Iceland stores, in the form of an ice lolly. Posting to the NewfoodsUK Facebook group, one shopper said: "Wham Ice Cream Lollies are back at Iceland Foods." 6 Wham Bars were first launched in the 1980s Credit: Facebook/Newfoodsuk In the comments section, one person raved: "These sound amazing!" How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. Another said: "I wonder if Rockets are back too!" The lollies are available exclusively at Iceland and a pack of four sweet treats costs just £2.50. Wham Bars were first introduced back in the 80s by Scottish confectioners McCowan's, and at their peak sold 30 million bars a year. In 2011, it was announced that McCowan's were going into administration, but the sweet has since been bought by Tangerine Confectionery. Barcardi Breezers Nostalgic alcopop, Barcadi Breezer is also making a return to stores, after it was axed in 2015. The fruity alcopops were once a rite of passage for teenagers having their first alcoholic drinks or going clubbing for the first time. 6 Barcardi Breezers were first launched in the 90s Credit: Barcardi Many will have fond memories - and now they'll be able to enjoy the nostalgic drink once again, just in time for the summer. They'll be landing in B&M from July, Aldi from August and Sainsbury's from September. Marmite Peanut Butter Marmite Peanut Butter has also made a permanent return to stores, just nine months after it was axed. The breakfast spread first landed on shelves back in 2019, but was axed just five years later. However, Unilever has announced that the tasty treat is now back for good, with shoppers able to purchase it from Tesco, Sainsbury's and Ocado.
