Woman picks up £3.09 Too Good To Go bag from Spar and is blown away by contents

If you've ever picked up a Too Good To Go bag before, you'll know they can be a bit of a gamble. The bags are designed to cut down on food waste, as supermarkets, cafes, and other shops can put together bags of surplus food they would otherwise throw away and sell it for a cheap price.

However, the risk comes as you never know exactly what you're going to find in your bag when you pick it up. The food entirely depends on what the shop needs to get rid of that day, so you could end up with a great haul or more vegetables than you know what to do with.

One woman on TikTok was recently left gobsmacked when she hopped onto the Too Good To Go app and picked herself up a mystery bag from her local Spar, which was priced at £3.09.

As the bag was relatively cheap, Dayna wasn't sure what to expect when she got back to her car and filmed her haul - but one item at the bottom of the bag left her speechless.

The Spar that Dayna visited was a large shop that even included a fresh bakery section, so as she waited for the employee to bring out her bag, the woman said she would love it if she managed to get some sweet treats in her haul.

Once she got back in her car and started unloading her shopping, Dayna was immediately in for a pleasant surprise - as she pulled out a packet of two caramel buns which she described as "a bit of me".

She next pulled out a large pork pie, followed by a bunch of bananas, a packet of Warburtons English breakfast muffins, two blueberry muffins, and a whole loaf of Hovis bread.

Dayna had likely already gotten her money's worth from the £3.09 bag, but the goodies kept coming. She was given a large tub of Skyr fat-free yoghurt, as well as a low-fat natural yoghurt from Spar's own range.

But it was the final item that really proved she had gotten more than she bargained for - as Dayna lifted up a huge packet of chicken drumsticks that could easily cost £3 or more by themselves.

She said: "Now the question is, was the Spar Too Good To Go bag worth it? We got a pack of British drumsticks, some caramel Rolo buns, some blueberry muffins, natural yoghurt, Skyr yoghurt, a Hovis, some muffins, some bananas, and finally, a little pork pie.

"Guys, was it worth £3.09? Did Spar deliver? Let me know what you think."

In the video's caption, she suggested she had "hit the jackpot" with the bag, and commenters seemed to agree. Many said that just the chicken alone was worth the money, and the rest was just a pleasant bonus.

One person said: "Chicken is a belter!! Great find."

Another added: "Absolutely worth the money."

While a third wrote: "Well worth it."

Too Good To Go states on its website that bags are a surprise because surplus food is hard to predict, so you may not always get a haul as good as Dayna's if you try the app out for yourself.

They write: "We've found 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."

The company also acknowledge that sometimes customers won't like the food in their bags. However, they suggest to ensure nothing gets wasted, any unwanted food is passed on to family, friends, or neighbours.
