Too Good to Go - Food App

So late to this, kept meaning to download and see what was in my area.

Ordered my first box from Aldi for this evening, interested to see what I get

Very very few places using the app around me, basically one in the two closest towns to me, both Aldi's. Going by this thread there wouldn't have been much point in my having the app until they were added!

Jealous of all the hauls from the fancy places in thread!

Fingers crossed some more places get added around the country as it gets more popular maybe

I've nabbed my first bag in ages tonight, FXB, here's hoping I get a meat one! My first FXB bag was epic and my second one was poor. Third time lucky 🤞

Fair enough on that one, I'd never encourage anyone to do it - it's their decision after all. But I've never once been sick from eating food that is out of date and I'm 40. Believe it or not, it was my GP who told me it is perfectly safe to eat regular yogurts up to SIX WEEKS past their useby date. Now I don't know his source for that, but again I've never had any problem with a Muller a few weeks past its date - it just tends to seperate a little. Now if it was mouldy or stank, thats a different matter of course.

Anyway, TGTG still sucks for me sadly - not one single bag here in Cork is in anyway convenient timewise or position wise for me unfortunately.

My local aldis fill the box based on the reduced price.

Had 3 packs of mince and some bread in one last week.

Must try these bargains soon thanks for posts everyone

Do you have a freezer?

First time using the TGTG app last night and not a bad Aldi haul - everything was dated 8/2 so all the meat/bread went in the freezer straightaway and the rest is in great condition. I don’t eat fish or mushrooms but hubby was delighted with the contents, they are all items that he would buy. I know these Aldi bags can be hit or miss but first impressions are good and collection was seamless. Total value about €26 so not a bad return on my €3.99 investment. I’ll definitely try it again

if it's within its date, it shouldn't be in any way off. But having said that I've had meat that was well within it's dates and also very clearly off as soon as I opened the package.

My local butcher has so far had his meat with a day to spare. Most of it is free range

What's the procedure at these Aldi stores? Do you just ask at the till for your magic bag or what?

My FXB bag tonight had 2 Cajun chicken parcels, goose fat roast potatoes and a tray of cauliflower gratin. A perfect meal for two

Picked up 2 boxes in aldi tonight.

1 had 2 xking prawns, organic kiwi fruit, bread, ricotta, ceaser salad.

2.had breast of chicken, bread, burgers, ricotta, burger buns. Spinach leaves.

Manager was saying since starting this they have zero waste. Used to throw out a load previously

Maybe try between 5 and 7pm, that's when I've gotten mine

chicken breasts from Aldi always for me, the stink, puke
