Save money and the planet by Unlocking Savings with the "Too Good To Go" Food Buying App

In today's fast-paced rapid world, convenience often comes with a hefty price tag, especially when it comes to food. 

Whether we're grabbing a coffee on the go or ordering a takeaway or delivery for dinner, our food expenses can quickly mount up. However, there's a solution that not only saves you money but also helps combat food waste: The "Too Good To Go" app.

What is "Too Good To Go"?

"Too Good To Go" is a mobile application designed to help connect consumers with local restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and grocery stores which have surplus food at the end of the day. Instead of letting this food go to waste, businesses offer it at a heavily discounted price via the app, allowing the app's users to purchase "magic bags" filled with assorted items.

How Does it Work?

Using the app is simple. After downloading "Too Good To Go" from your app store (Google or Apple) you can browse nearby businesses offering surplus food. Each listing provides information about the contents of the magic bag, the pickup time, and the discounted price. Once you find something you like, you can reserve it through the app and pick it up at the designated time.

Saving Money with "Too Good To Go"

Here's how you can make the most of the app to save money:

Affordable Meals: By purchasing surplus food through "Too Good To Go," you can enjoy high-quality meals at a fraction of the usual cost. Whether it's a lunchtime sandwich, a box of pastries, or a dinner from your favorite restaurant, there are plenty of options for you to choose from.

Exploring New Places: The app allows you to discover new eateries in your area that you may not have tried otherwise. With the discounted prices offered through "Too Good To Go," it's the perfect opportunity to sample the offerings of local businesses without breaking the bank.

Reducing Food Waste: Beyond the financial benefits, using "Too Good To Go" contributes to the fight against food waste. By rescuing surplus food that would otherwise be thrown away, you're helping to minimise the environmental impact of food production and disposal.

Budgeting Made Easy: With the app, you can plan your meals and snacks while staying within your budget. The fixed price of the magic bags makes it easier to track your food expenses and avoid overspending on impulsive purchases.

Tips for Maximising Savings

Check Regularly: New listings are added throughout the day, so check the app regularly to see what's available in your area.

Be Flexible: Since the contents of the magic bags vary depending on what's left at the end of the day, be open to trying new foods and flavours.

Share with Friends: Consider splitting the cost of a magic bag with friends or family to enjoy even greater savings.

In conclusion, "Too Good To Go" is not only a money-saving tool but also a socially and environmentally conscious way to enjoy delicious food while reducing waste. By embracing this innovative app, you can indulge in guilt-free meals while helping to build a more sustainable future.

So why wait? Download "Too Good To Go" today and start unlocking savings one magic bag at a time!

Lidl GB has announced its opening hours for today,  August Bank Holiday Monday.

Despite a somewhat varied, mixed weather forecast, Lidl is still predicting a rise in sales of its ice creams and lollies, after it saw sales of its frozen range surge during recent a recent spell of wet weather.

Shoppers are guaranteed to bag a bank holiday Monday bargain after Lidl GB was crowned cheapest supermarket for seven months in a row by the Manchester Evening News newspaper, whilst being named the cheapest supermarket for BBQ essentials by Which? magazine.

Despite the mixed weather forecast, with temperatures set to drop again this bank holiday, Lidl GB is predicting a surge in ice cream sales, after seeing an 8.1% in sales of its frozen range during the recent rainy period.

The update comes as Lidl GB confirms its bank holiday opening times, while sharing the quietest times to shop as customers gear up for the bank holiday.

On the Bank Holiday Monday, today, stores across England and Wales will open between 8am and 8pm, whilst Scotish branches will remain open as normal. Some store opening times could vary, so customers are advised to check the store finder on Lidl’s website for details on their local Lidl branches.

Tesco announces major change to cut bills in its Tesco Express stores

Tesco has recently today an important and major overhaul to the range of products it stocks in its Express stores, as it reinforces its position as the UK’s best value convenience store chain.

The overhaul will see over 50 key everyday products replaced with even more keenly-priced alternatives, many of which are from its own-brand range, with some items less than one third of the price of the products they are replacing.

Across the in excess of 50 products included in the change, shoppers will find the own-brand alternatives are, on average, over 40% cheaper than the products they're to replace.

This move comes in response to the supermarket’s internal shopping data, which shows price-conscious customers are increasingly turning to own-brand products to get better value, whilst not compromising on quality. 

Among the own brand lines that are to be introduced are Tesco penne pasta (85p) and Tesco smooth peanut butter (£1.65), both of which will cost 50% of the price of the previous branded products that were stocked.

Bags of Tesco frozen garden peas (£1.65), being stocked in Express store freezers as part of the change, will be nearly 40% cheaper than the branded product they are to replace. Tesco basmati rice pouches (75p) will fill the space on the shelves left by a branded equivalent which costed 30% more.

Some branded lines, including toothpaste, are being replaced by a cheaper branded alternative at less than a third of the price. And to provide better value for parents, Tesco is reducing the price of some packs of branded nappies in Express stores by as much as 40%.

Tesco Convenience MD Sarah Lawler said: “We know customers are watching every penny at the moment, so it's our hope these helpful product swaps will bring down average food bills for even more families."

She went on to say: “Our Express stores offer unbeatable value on everything from essentials to fresh produce, thus making healthy food more accessible for the 2,000 communities we serve across the UK. And while our convenience stores don’t have the shelf space to carry the full range of our larger shops, by swapping these products, we’ve been able to make way for even more of our great-value own brand ranges.”

The new products will be delivered to stores over the coming couple of weeks, with the change-over complete by the end of the month, August.

A spokesman concluded: "This latest change is just another way Tesco is delivering great value for its Express customers, with Tesco Clubcard holders being able to take advantage of the supermarket’s Clubcard Prices discounts in Express stores too."

Lidl Crowned king of discounters

Lidl has once again been named cheapest supermarket in The Grocer’s ‘Super Grocer 33’, beating all major supermarkets, including Aldi.

The price index, which compares the price of 33 everyday grocery items across all the UK’s seven major supermarkets, found Lidl to be £19.91 cheaper than Waitrose, the most expensive retailer. This win comes as Lidl’s fourth accolade, out of five surveys since the Grocer 33’s inception.

The survey also found Lidl came out cheapest even after other supermarkets’ discount schemes were taken into consideration. 

Overall, the discounter was found to be 10% (£6.17) cheaper than Tesco, and still £5.13 after Clubcard discounts were applied. Similarly, the same products at Sainsburys cost £6.80 more, with no benefit from the supermarket’s Nectar Prices.

The accolade also comes despite traditional supermarkets recently announcing an array of price drops, demonstrating that the Lidl still offers better value.

The Grocer compares prices of items on shopping lists across the nation as part of the monthly analysis – from fresh produce, such as milk and grapes, to deodorant, and branded items including Hovis Bread and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. 

Lidl offered the cheapest price on 26 products – and exclusively the lowest price for five products across a range of categories, including:

Baby corn at £2.79 (76p cheaper than the most expensive and 4p cheaper than the next cheapest)

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes at £2.05 (25p cheaper than the most expensive and 20p cheaper than the next cheapest)

Domestos bleach at £1.39 (21p cheaper than the most expensive and 10p cheaper than the next cheapest retailer)

Prawns at £1.99 (£1.76 cheaper than the most expensive and 20p cheaper than the next cheapest)

Custard creams at 54p (26p cheaper than the most expensive and 1p cheaper than the next cheapest)

It’s not just the Super Grocer 33 basket proving this – for the past fourteen weeks Lidl has also been cheapest in a weekly price comparison conducted by the Manchester Evening News on essential groceries.

Ryan McDonnell, Chief Executive Officer at Lidl GB, said: “Every week, independent analysis shows we are consistently the UK’s cheapest supermarket. As a result, we are seeing more customers coming through our doors and switching their weekly shop to Lidl from the traditional supermarkets.

“We know people switch to us make savings, but then stay with us when they realise that they’re not having to compromise on quality.”

Morrisons More Card launches nationwide with the return of Morrisons Fivers

Morrisons is once again giving customers “More Reasons To Shop At Morrisons” with the national rollout of its new Morrisons More Card loyalty programme, which includes the return of the popular Morrisons Fivers. 

As well as the new loyalty scheme, a major new advertising and brand campaign launches today which revives the “More Reasons To Shop At Morrisons” strapline, which was introduced in Sir Ken Morrison’s time and still resonates strongly despite last being used in 2006. 

Rachel Eyre, Chief Customer and Marketing Officer at Morrisons, said: “Customers have been telling us how much they've missed the Morrisons Fivers and so we’ve brought them back as part of a radical overhaul of the Morrisons loyalty scheme.  

"The new More Card, which replaces the My Morrisons scheme, -will enable customers to earn points on selected purchases, including fuel, and redeem those points for fivers off their shopping.  The card will also give customers access to exclusive More Card prices with market-leading discounts on our  customers’ favourites."  

She went on to say: “Alongside the launch of the new loyalty programme, we're also thrilled to announce our new brand campaign, “More Reasons To Shop at Morrisons”. Customers tell us there are so many distinctive and motivating reasons to choose Morrisons, such as helpful tips from our expert butchers and fishmongers, our commitment to British meat and produce or fan-favourite freshly baked doughnuts, and so despite not being used for a long time, “More Reasons” still really resonates with our customers.  We’ve brought it back in a major new campaign which celebrates customers' real reasons for choosing Morrisons, in a funny, yet relatable way. And yes - even the iconic jingle is back!”

Today's announcement demonstrates that Morrisons is committed to offering customers great value and follows four waves of price cuts this year already.  As well as the loyalty programme, Morrisons will continue to offer customers “More Reasons To Shop at Morrisons” with great deals on a wide variety  of products that are vital to customers, including big brands and Morrisons unique Market Street counters, where skilled colleagues, including butchers and bakers, prepare fresh food for customers.  

This week, for example, customers can pick up a 20-piece British BBQ meat pack for £9.99, enjoy two breakfasts for £10 in a Morrisons café or buy six bottles of wine and save 25%. 

The new More Card, which can be used as a physical card or app, has been trialled in a number of stores over the last few weeks and feedback from customers has been extremely positive.  Customers will be able to earn points on selected products and counters in store and online as well as earning five points for every litre of fuel purchased in a Morrisons petrol filling station.   Examples of points available this week include:

100 More Points for every five pack of doughnuts (89p)

500 More Points for every £5 spent at the pizza counter

600 More Points for every £6 spent in a Morrisons café

100 More Points for every British BBQ meat pack from the butcher’s counter.

Once a customer has saved 5,000 points, they will receive a Morrisons Fiver which can be redeemed on a future shop, in store or online. 

Morrisons programme of market leading exclusive offers which launched last October for loyalty card members remains a key feature of the new scheme and the range of offers will continue to grow.  The More Card Exclusives enable customers to benefit from industry leading deals and discounts, which in launch week include:

1 litre Spirits for £17

Nescafé Gold 300g and Nescafé Original 200g for £4.99

Pringles for £1.25

Cathedral City Cheese 350g for £3.00

Fish Friday - 20% off fresh fish from the Market Street fish counter each Friday

Steak Saturdays - 20% of British steaks from the Market Street butcher’s counter each Saturday.

More Card customers can also benefit from:

Personalised offers - App users will be able to activate their offers on their device while card users will receive vouchers at the till that can be redeemed on a future purchase

Surprises - Surprise offers will help make the most of key moments such as flowers at Mother’s Day or sweet treats at Halloween

Basket Bonus - When a customer scans the app or swipes their card they may be in with a chance to ‘bag a bonus’ offer.  It might be money off a shop or a treat from a Market Street counter.

The new “More Reasons To Shop At Morrisons” brand campaign, created with Leo Burnett,  debuted today on Coronation Street.  The campaign, which includes a brand new look and feel, will run across TV, radio, press, digital display, social media and out of home as well as in Morrisons stores and online.

(Please note extra points do not apply at franchised petrol stations.)

As a loyal Morrisons' shopper (my late parents both worked at Morrisons) I'm pleased to see the return of the Morrisons More Card!
