I can't remember who pointed me in the right direction ( I have tried to back track to find out, to no avail) but I downloaded the Too Good to Go app and this morning found a Magic Bag on offer at the Spar supermarket not too far away. I am excited! There is supposed to be a bag containing £10 worth of food for the princely sum of £3.09 which I can collect after 7pm tonight. I wonder what it will contain? There could be fruit, veg, meat, fish etc but it's a lucky dip. All will be past the sell by/use by date so I'll let you know in a post tomorrow what I get. Meanwhile a big 'thank you' to whoever shared the information in the first place.
Watch this space!
Stay safe everyone wherever in the world you happen to be x
EDIT: I have just found the information on Marlene's blog PoppyPatchwork. Thank you Marlene.
SECOND EDIT: I had only just come off the computer when I received a text to say that my order has been cancelled because the supermarket doesn't have enough surplus food to fulfill the order. My payment via PayPal has been refunded but I am gutted......
I think I'll just shut up shall I..... 🤐
How annoying, we have loved our bags, both very different both very enjoyable. +ope you pick another one soon. We only use our local M&S garage as it the only one we can walk too..
ReplyDeleteI can only assume that people are stocking up for the bank holiday so that everything sold out and there is little left to reduce. I will try again. We don't have anywhere within walking distance but the Spar was a short drive away. Thank you for the tip anyway, Marlene, I'm bound to get lucky at some point 😉xx
ReplyDeleteOh what a shame, I love surprises. I got a Lidl box for £1.50 last year and I was over the moon.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Tania, I've never managed to get a Lidl box either!
DeleteIt was fun while it lasted!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was,potty, indeed it was 😂
DeleteSuch a shame, fingers crossed for next time.
ReplyDeleteI have just downloaded the app. Hope you are well? I have been away from blogging for a while now, but all is good in my world, now I have divorced and started over, hence me blogging again.
Marlene xx
Hello Marlene, lovely to see you back! Your new blog is great; lots of tips. We are ok thanks, looking forward to a bit of 'normality' again. So happy for you that things are better for you now xx
DeleteThat's too bad, but I'm glad you got your refund.
ReplyDeleteYes, Stephenie, the refund was almost instant so no worries there :)
DeleteHope you manage to get a new magic bag soon. What a great idea. I'm going to check it out myself. Thank you x
ReplyDeleteHope you find some near you Beverly. Good luck!
DeleteHow disappointing!! Hopefully you will get another chance very soon.

DeleteOh how sad to have your hopes raised and then dashed ... shucks!!
ReplyDeleteBetter luck next time :-)
Fingers crossed 🤞x
DeleteHave you tried Olio? If you have got a few people in your area who subscribe then it would work well. I have not got enough people in my area but I have managed to get a couple of things.
ReplyDeleteNo, Jo, I haven't. I'll check it out, thank you for the tip 😊
DeleteGood concept but how disappointing for you. I guess it is just a bad day that stuff were insufficient. We don't have such offers here. Try again and good luck. Dropping in fr Malaysia
