This isn’t just about saving a few quid—though let’s not pretend that’s not brilliant. This is about fighting food waste one pasty at a time. When you buy a Too Good To Go bag, you are literally rescuing food from the bin.
Think about that for a second. You are the planet’s champion, armed with an appetite and a mobile phone. Every bag you collect is a tiny victory against the absurd amount of food we throw away daily. You are part of the solution.
Plus, it makes life more fun. How often can you say you genuinely don’t know what you’re having for dinner? It breaks the monotony. It forces you to be a little more adventurous—even if your only adventure is trying a new type of doughnut.
A Few Pro Tips for the Adventurous
Want to be a pro bag-collector? First, don’t be picky. If you’re a strictly vegan, this might not be for you—you might get a bag full of ham sandwiches. But for the omnivorous with a sense of humour? Go for it.

Second, be ready to freeze things. A lot of us can’t eat four doughnuts in one sitting (though we admire the ambition). Pop any extras in the freezer. A defrosted Greggs doughnut is still a miracle of modern baking.
And finally, collect your bag as soon as you can. The window is usually short, and the queue builds. It’s a race, but a very friendly, carb-filled race where everyone wins.
