Is anyone using the app regularly? Is it worth it? I’m very curious

I think there’s a high % of bakery goods ?

Try Olio as well

shellyleppard · 11/08/2025 23:32

Sometimes good, sometimes bad. It depends on the day. Some shops sell out really fast tho

StaySpicy · 11/08/2025 23:36

Tend to get a Starbucks one every week or two. 5 cakes/pastries for the price of one, effectively.

We live in central London and my partner just loves it. He mainly goes for sushi restaurants where he pretty much knows what he will get and eats a feast everytime.

DinoLil · 12/08/2025 00:18

Yes!!!!!!

Yes, but people state the value they get as if they’d paid full price not the yellow sticker mark down price. Expect to get things that would be in the yellow sticker area and multiples of the same thing and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with anything else. It’s a bit of fun and worth a punt, there are Facebook groups devoted to sharing hauls and what not. Read the description and reviews carefully.

Thanks everyone. We are away atm but when I get home we are less than 10 minute walk from Starbucks x 3, Costa about the same and to sushi which the kids love so going to give it a go.

We get some great bargains. Our local pub does them on a Sunday when their carvery is finished. You fet a huge takeaway roast for under a fiver.

Depends where you are. We have half a dozen or so regular companies - Starbucks, Greggs, the local Polish supermarket, the Co-op, the Yo! Sushi concession in the big Tesco. The selection isn't great, sometimes the food is out of date and other times you arrive to them saying there's nothing and 'you should have had a text'.

Elsewhere the offering has been excellent - loads more choice and outlets involved. DS has used many times in London and eats very well.

Worth a look, IMO.

It's very variable, some deals are great, some are rubbish, most in between. And it can vary from day to day because it's literally what they have leftover - usually. Though some places basically make you up a meal, Papa Johns used to be on it here years ago and they just cooked you a basic pizza. Don't know why they bothered, and they stopped a while ago so clearly not worth their while!

Good ones in my experience - Krispy Kreme, usually a box of six filled/iced doughnuts and they often throw in another box of glazed as well. Independent bakeries, some round here will give you several loaves of sourdough bread, filled sandwiches, pastries, all sorts. The carvery places, you can pick what you want from what's left at the carvery station. I like the veg and potatoes and sundries best anyway in a roast so not getting much meat doesn't worry me.

Variable - Greggs. Sometimes you get an amazing bag full, other times it's a couple of sausage rolls and a couple of yum yums, neither great when they're not fresh. Starbucks, again sometimes you get a good mix, they seem to work to set guidelines as I'd usually get three savoury things and two sweet. Often it's vegan sandwiches, or a small cheese and marmite sandwich, or a sausage roll, not their most inspiring offerings again it's just what is leftover and needs using so the popular stuff usually sells. Morrisons do groceries and cafe items. Groceries it depends who has picked the bags they can be very full but with lots of stuff like cheap bread and salad items. Hit and miss.

Not great - Costa. Some people seem to do okay but I always got several of the same item, like three cheese and tomato toasties (untoasted) and a croissant. Not a great quantity or variable selection, I've given up with them. Local independent greengrocers, never got a good box from any of them. It's described as being okay for soup or smoothies but I wouldn't want to make soup out of the yellow broccoli and slimy spinach or pick through the really squashed and bruised satsumas and apples. I'm okay with turning spotty bananas into banana bread but much of what I was given was only good for compost.

We really enjoy it but we’re in the suburbs of large city. Kids enjoy surprise bags to get a treat and try new things

Moorlander · 12/08/2025 18:14

Pret also good value, have never been disappointed .

Have a look to see if where you are has it. They have it in most countries now

onwardandupwards · 12/08/2025 18:26

We got a toby carvery one it was a tub filled with carrots and one cremated roast potato. To be fair to good to go refunded it.

wizzywig · 12/08/2025 18:26

Have been disappointed every time. I seem to get very carb heavy items regardless of store/ restaurant

RoseDog · 12/08/2025 18:31

They are ok and they are fun, Greggs, Tim Hortons, Starbucks, Costa are usually quite good.

Supermarket bags can be quite risky, Aldi is usually 10 bags of veg/salad leaves and a couple of other random items, you could get a whole salmon or more salad 🤷🏼‍♀️

BP m&s are quite good too. I would never trust any of them to have an actual meal in them!
