Woke up this morning - full refund. Excellent service.
Fair play to them - I'd have told you to get stuffed. :greengrinQuote:

1 below par offering so far.
TBF that's about standard for Costa - they're so expensive the £8 standard value is taken up really quickly.Quote:

That'll go towards lunches for me a #1 daughter this week.

Just got a greggs (Easter road)
Tuna crunch baguette
1x sausage roll
1x chicken bake
1x vegan roll

Can't argue with the price, to be fair but they set the bar too high with the bag the last time :greengrin
Got a Morrison’s Easter bag. The store didn’t realise they’d put up bags so had nothing for me, so gave me £8 worth of cookies, doughnuts and hot cross buns!
F***in' boooooo!Quote:

Paid £4 and got....
6 Cumberland sausages with reduced price sticker of £1.89
1 Greek Yogurt with reduced price of 29p.
Small box of sushi reduced price of 65p.
1 chicken and bacon pasta salad reduced price of £1.41
1 Tomato salad reduced price of 80p.
Safe to say i wont be doing that again at the BP.
Some folk will be quite happy to get that from M&S, seems decent enough to me.Quote:

Tried this for the first time today. Whelmed.
Cost 2.60. My Magic Bag was a croque monsieur, 2 pain au chocolat and an almond croissant, from a cafe attached to a hotel by a train station.
Decent value, similar to a supermarket 'reduced to clear' area. The key benefit is that cafes can reduce food waste in the same way.
Pinkie Farm Shop, £4:
bag of white tatties
bag of spinach
Pink wafer biscuits
couple of wee bits breaded fish
6 apples
wee pack of topside beef slices
chicken mini bites
Wee cheese pot noodle type thing
Not disastrous but a bit meh. Think the app is great though if it prevents waste and folk get a good wee haul out of it.
got a bag from Morrisons a few weeks ago
2 carrier bags full of donuts
2 loafs
3 packts thins
8 muffins
turnip
grapes
oranges
salad mix
bananas
all within the last day of use, but a cracking lift
La Barrantine Stockbridge
2 baguettes
1 sourdough loaf
A roasted vegetable, tomato and basil sauce and goat cheese sandwich
A roll
Fancy bit cheesecake
Goats cheese and mixed veg quiche
Bacon and cheese quiche
£4. From their menu it’s probably worth about £30.
Had been keen to give this a try but whenever I looked it was only Greggs available and I wasn't too keen on them. I had been waiting for Dobbies to pop up for a while but they seemed hard to pin down.
I've just ordered one for tomorrow - how exciting! :greengrin
Thought I would try Greggs at the weekend.
Got a message to collect it between 430 and 5.Turned up about 440.
The shop shut at 430 🙄
They’re very good at quickly refunding stuff like that through the app TBF.Quote:

They've refunded me already, but they haven't explained why it happened. No apology either. All of which has wasted my time and discouraged me from using them againQuote:

I'd say it was probably about what I expected from it - a lot of excitement about a mystery bag and what could be in there with the main value coming from pulling the items out one at a time in the kitchen.
There's a loaf of bread that I actually did want, some chicken goujons and garlic bread that have been put in the freezer for another day, a quiche that I'll eat during the football, some pears that I'll eat a couple of, a pack of creme brulee that I'll endevour to conjure up a lunch with some of it tomorrow.
Got a bag from One Cannonmills yesterday.
Fried chicken and bacon with waffles
Padron peppers
Cheesecake
Soup
£4. All freshly cooked for me picking it up. Superb. Although I’m not sure I can justify that for a lunch again :greengrin
The price or the amount?Quote:

A new African restaurant and Polish supermarket added in my town, ordered a box from both for tomorrow.
Got 2 bags from Chocolate & Pastry shop @ Queensferry St.
FFS they certainly give you what they've got left.
26 pastries for £8
:faf:Quote:

Turned out to be a 'The Works' pizza, large sized that is on their website at £19.49. Was clearly just out of the oven too.
Fantastic.
Although good for the environment I'm not sure how good this app is for folks waistlines. There's probably about 3000 calories in that pizza.Quote:

Three of us working today so we got a Pret a Manger breakfast bag for £3 - got a bacon and egg roll, a bacon and cheese pastry, a cheese and tomato pastry and a porridge. Great value for a quid each.
Best bags I’ve had today - Woodmill Game near Auchtermuchty. Got two bags at £4 each and ended up getting four packs of venison sausages (some normal, some sweet chilli, some with chorizo), two pheasant and pancetta and two pigeon and date. All £7 a pack on their website and dated Feb 22.
Fantastic bargain.
Healthiest one yet.Quote:
