A savvy shopper was left utterly gobsmacked after discovering the incredible contents of a £20 'Too Good To Go' surprise bag purchased from the world-famous Harrods department store.
A Luxury Haul on a Budget
The man, known as Carmie on TikTok where he posts as @touchdalight, shared his experience online, stating he was "actually really surprised" by the sheer volume and quality of food he received. The Too Good To Go app is designed to combat food waste by allowing retailers to sell surplus stock at a heavily reduced price, and this particular bargain proved to be exceptionally generous.
Carmie began by pulling out a mini Christmas picnic roll set, packed with various fillings. He noted that this item alone would have cost a staggering £15 over the counter at Harrods, meaning he had nearly recouped his entire outlay with just one product.
Sandwiches, Sweets and Surprises
The bag's delights continued with three gourmet sandwiches: prawn cocktail, cheese and pickle, and a festive pigs in blankets option. Carmie rated these highly, though joked they would have been a perfect "10 out of 10" if not for some leftover bread ends.
Next came a decadent donut, which he described as "beautiful", awarding it top marks thanks to its "little gold crumbly things". He then unveiled a S'mores cookie in a distinctive box, quipping, "You know it's boujee when it comes in one of these." He was amazed by its soft, pulling marshmallow, giving it another 10/10.
The sweet treats kept coming:
- Exquisitely decorated French fancies, rated 9/10 for their pleasant lemon flavour.
- A plain-looking but tasty scone, which he wished had come with cream and jam.
- A large slice of red velvet cake, praised for being "so soft and moist" and declared the best thing about Harrods.
Viewers Agree It's a Steal
The reaction in the comments section was unanimous. One viewer stated that for £20 the bag was "well worth it", considering the total value of the items far exceeded the cost. Another remarked on the coincidence of the red velvet cake matching Carmie's t-shirt, while a third simply concluded, "Well worth it, everything looked delicious."
This incident highlights how the Too Good To Go scheme can provide access to luxury groceries and fine foods at a fraction of the usual price, while simultaneously tackling the critical issue of food waste. For bargain hunters and foodies alike, it represents a win-win situation.
