I've found it brilliant for two things.

Firstly, Greggs - never been disappointed - always a few things in there I'd want - maybe the odd thing I don't, but definitely always feel I get money's worth.

Secondly, hot breakfasts from hotels - again, never been disappointed. They usually give you a box and let you loose on the buffet once it's closed to guests. You need to be either close to home or ready to eat straight away as the hot food is pretty manky once you let it go cold.

Worst was a high class bakery where they just gave me a bag of 5 breakfast rolls, when they closed at 6pm - nothing else.

Enjoying this thread! Never tried TGTG but there’s a Greggs near my work so am tempted!

Have done it a Booths a couple of times. It’s been pretty good.

@Bushmillsbabewow, on my app they are £5.50 for six! Not worth it imo

The Lidl ones are the best. I don't usually manage to get one but if I do I always photograph the contents and text DM. 😂

The last one had (for €3):
750g Kiwi gold
750g plum tomatoes
6 Maribelle apples (organic)
750g mandarin (organic)
1 courgette
2 red peppers (organic)
500g chicory (organic)

I also got a prepackaged salad and a loaf of bread for 25 cents each. I often get 25 cent bargains, but you have to be a regular visitor though. I go most days on my way home from work.
