But when she opened up the two mysterious boxes, what she found inside left her feeling 'sick'.
The boxes contained a vacuum-sealed chicken tikka masala alongside boil-in-the-bag rice.
In a video posted to her TikTok account, Becky, who has 415,000 followers, gasped: 'Oh my God, what is that? That's so weird, what the hell?
'I'm not sure about that. That kind of gives me the heebie-jeebies.'
Too Good To Go bags are a popular way to grab a mix of tasty, often freezer-safe meals at a bargain price while doing your bit to reduce food waste.
The video, which racked up 788,000 views, showed an undeterred Becky, who is from Cheshire and runs a vintage clothing business, peeking into box number two.
Her mood instantly changed when she spotted seven hash browns, three slabs of black pudding and a mountain of sausages.
Viewers were split in the comments, with some impressed by the value and others were put off by the contents of the first box.
One commenter said: 'I'd be the exact same with meat in a bag, even chicken in microwave meals can make me feel a bit dodgy sometimes.'
Another added: 'It's £2.49 be grateful.'

Another person said: 'That's not bad at all – sure, the plastic pouches aren't appetising, but any food would look like that in a plastic pouch.'
Jam Press has approached Morrisons, who declined to comment.
How to save on your supermarket shop
THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop.
You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced.
If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time.
Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket.
Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too.
This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines.
Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect.
For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50.
If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too.
Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.
How does Too Good To Go work?
To use Too Good To Go, download its app on your smartphone and create an account.
You can then select your area by entering your location and drop the pin on where you'll be picking up your surplus food bags.
On the app, you can select the distance you'd be willing to travel, based on whether you'll be walking, using public transport or driving.
The app will then show you the Too Good To Go locations available in your area.
These are grouped in categories including supermarkets, groceries and baked goods.
There are also options to collect food straight away, or later for dinner.
You can then scroll through the app to see what's available and click "see all" to check all the options within a category.
Too Good To Go will then tell you how much you can save with each surprise bag.
Prices usually range between £2 and £6, with shoppers saving at least 30% on every order.
When clicking on a listing, you will get information on the exact location of the cafe, restaurant or supermarket, as well as collection times available, and the price of the bag.
The listing also shows the average rating other users have given that particular business.
Once you've decided what you want to pick up, simply click the "reserve" button to ensure it is assigned to you.
You'll be asked to add your bank details to confirm the reservation and you'll then receive an email including an invoice and a time window for your collection.
Then go to the shop at the assigned time, show your collection on the app to a staff member and enjoy your discounted surplus food.

ITV Coronation Street fans rumble 'fake death' as they say one character will make shock return

Coronation Street viewers are convinced that one character who is meant to have been dead for years will soon make a shock return to Weatherfield. Coronation Street may soon be seeing one character return from the dead with fans claiming to have spotted some solid clues in the ITV soap. The character in question was thought to have been killed off screen years before but viewers only learned of their existence in the past year or so. ‌ Becky Swain was the mother of teen Betsy Swain, and the wife of detective Lisa Swain. Lisa has opened up about the loss of her spouse in the line of duty a couple of times and was also recently forced to face her sad past when she spoke about it in therapy. ‌ Becky's alleged death was revisited more than once in recent times with newcomers Matty and Logan Radcliffe's link to the death being revealed earlier this year. Details about what caused Becky's death and rumours of her being corrupt ahead of her murder, have kept the plot and the mystery surrounding her demise going. ‌ Fans who picked up on the constant mentions of her and the desire to know what really happened have now suggested there's more to be revealed when it comes to Becky's story, the Mirror reports. Amid some fresh spoilers that tease a twist about Lisa's new partner Carla Connor, fans are wondering if a huge bombshell will be dropped in the soap soon. ‌ While fans are waiting in anticipation to find out if Becky is actually dead while others are calling for the speculation that she is still alive to end, others can't shake the idea that she may be in hiding. The theory has been doing the round following new episodes and twists with fans now once again convinced that Becky will soon head to Weatherfield very much alive. ‌ Taking to social media one fan suggested: "What if Carla really does do a deep dive and finds out Becky is not only bent but also alive? What if those scenes at the park are her having to break the news to Lisa alongside the Private investigator?" Another fan echoed: "Feels like a juggernaut coming down the line but I could be wrong. Is Becky - deceased wife of DC Swain and mother of Betsy - not dead? "My very much of a guess is - she was undercover as a bent copper, big scary criminals, faked death to save her family, witness protection, yadda yadda yadda and suddenly TA-DA!!! ‌ "It's all the endless references and musings about a character we've never met. Feels like something's afoot. Also a handy nemesis for Carla? That's always a good thing." A third agreed with the theories, saying: "I agree that the endless references about someone who we have never met is suspicious!" Another torn fan then posted: "The only reason I think she has to be dead is surely a post mortem was carried out given the circumstances and surely Lisa had to identify her or saw her in her coffin." ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Someone else, who did not seem as impressed by the rumoured storyline, wrote: "Typical soap, if they don't die on screen, they're not actually dead." The theory kept on being shared, with somebody adding: "Yeah, I don't recall exactly what it was, but before the footy break a Swarla convo made me say Becky isn't dead." Yet another viewer chimed in: "Wouldn't surprise me if Becky's still alive."
