A savvy shopper has shared her incredible experience using the popular Too Good To Go app, revealing how she bagged a full Toby Carvery meal for just £3.49. The social media user, known as Katie or @katie.gri on TikTok, documented her find, showing that it's possible to enjoy a hearty, restaurant-quality dinner while saving money and helping the environment.
The Viral Toby Carvery Haul
Katie explained in a now-viral TikTok video that she managed to secure two 'leftover' carveries through the Too Good To Go app for the remarkably low price of £3.49 each. After collecting her order in person, she filmed herself opening one of the containers at home. To her delight, the food was still "steaming" hot.
The container was so packed that when she poured the contents into a pasta bowl, it nearly overflowed. The meal was a complete Toby Carvery feast, featuring generous portions of gammon, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, carrots, and peas, all smothered in rich gravy.
"This actually looks unreal. It's actually so good. I'm really pleased," Katie said in her clip, clearly astonished by the value and quality of her purchase.
Social Media Reacts To The Bargain Roast
The video quickly attracted attention from other social media users, who were equally impressed by the find. One commenter declared it a "bargain" for a full roast dinner at that price. Another user joked, "No stop this right now. It’s midnight and now I want a Toby Carvery," highlighting the meal's appeal.
A third person chimed in, affirming that the carvery meals are "so good as takeaway," while another simply stated, "For £3.50, can’t go wrong with that to be fair," summarising the general sentiment of getting a fantastic deal.
How Too Good To Go Fights Food Waste
This isn't the only success story from the app. Another shopper, Becky (@beckybazaar on TikTok), recently praised Aldi for their budget-friendly Too Good To Go bag, which she purchased for £3.30. Her haul included items like watercress spinach, lean steak mince, coldwater prawns, a steak pie, yoghurts, and a milk chocolate apple, with some products having 15 days left before their use-by date.
Using the app is straightforward. Users simply download the Too Good To Go app, browse participating stores and restaurants nearby, and reserve a 'Magic Bag' of surplus food. This food would otherwise be thrown away at the end of the day, helping to tackle the serious issue of food waste. Most bags cost between £2 and £5, offering significant savings.
Founded in Copenhagen in 2015, Too Good To Go has grown into a global movement. The company now operates in 19 countries and boasts a community of 100 million registered users and 175,000 active partner businesses worldwide, all united in the mission to reduce food waste.
