Morrison’s Too Good To Go Box Review

If you are looking to not only save money but also help to decrease food waste then you will love the food waste app Too Good To Go. Too Good To Go allows restaurants, cafes and supermarkets to sell of their food that would normally go to waste for a dramatically reduced price. The Morrison’s Too Good To Go box is one of my favorites, and I want to share it with you in this post.

Morrison's Too Good To Go Box

What is Too Good To Go?

Food waste is a massive problem in the UK. Not only is there a lot of food wasted from farm to table, but there are also extra resources that go to waste, like water and labour. Did you know that 8% of the global greenhouse gas emissions comes from wasted food?

Too Good To Go have teamed up with restaurants, stores and supermarkets so that perfectly edible food isn’t just thrown out at the end of the day. A restaurant or supermarket can let Too Good To Go know how many Magic Bags they have available, and then you can purchase one for a big discount.

You won’t know what you will get until you collect it but it could be anything from bakery items to fruit and vegetables. There are even world buffet restaurants using the app, so there is a lot of choice.

Since you can’t control what you get in your Magic Bag, it won’t be suitable for all dietary needs.

Is the food still good to eat?

Yes, totally!

We all know that some sell by dates are rubbish – an apple or potato doesn’t know to go off at the stroke of midnight on the date on the packet. They can sometimes last days and weeks after the date on the packet.

You won’t be receiving moldy or gross food at all.

How much does Too Good To Go cost?

The price for a Too Good To Go Magic Bag varies between establishments.

For example, a Morrison’s Too Good To Go box costs £3.09 and has a value of at least £10.

An Auntie Anne’s Magic Bag costs £3.59 and must have a value of at least £10.

The Cambridge Cheese Company’s Magic Bag costs £4.99 and has a value of at least £15

No matter which Magic Bag you choose, you will be making a great saving if you and your family eat all the food provided.

You can pay via Paypal or credit/debit card, and you pay on the app.

What is in a Morrison’s Too Good To Go box?

The Morrison’s Too Good To Go box is probably the most coveted item to buy on Too Good To Go, and for very good reason.

I finally managed to snag a box after following the tips I will be sharing below.

Morrison's Too Good To Go

I picked up my box on 28th December, and you can already see that some items were past their sell by date.

Here is everything that was in my box. As you can see the blueberries themselves were still in date and £3 alone, making my £3.09 box very good value for money!

I got:

  • 2 wonky cabbages
  • 2 packs of spouts (only one shown here)
  • 6 packs of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 pack of blueberries
  • Broccoli and cauliflower florets
  • 1 cauliflower
  • 2 bags of apples
  • 8 loose apples
  • Turnips or swedes

We couldn’t use all of it up so shared it with our family and on the food sharing app Olio.

You also get a box to amuse your cats with.

I have also seen boxes with bakery items (including a chocolate tray bake) and meat.

Tips to get a Morrison’s Too Good To Go box

Getting a Morrison’s Too Good To Go box is actually pretty hard because they are so popular.

Here are my top tips for getting one:

Make sure you have the app downloaded.

Add your payment details (card or Paypal is fine)

Take a look at when your collection window is (Morrison’s is usually 12-6pm)

This means that boxes will be loaded to the app at roughly 6.15pm. I have seen them sell a little earlier.

Set an alarm for 6.10pm

Refresh the app from 6.10pm until they go on sale and perform the fastest moves you ever had.

I had to do the above for a few days before I finally got my box. Persistence is key.

Also be careful around holidays as they may put on more boxes if the store is closing or they have a lot of food to get rid of.

How to collect your Morrison’s Too Good To Go order

To collect your Too Good To Go order simply grab a trolley and head to the customer service counter with your phone – you will need to show the app and mark it as collected on the app.

Tell a staff member what you are there for and they will sort it out for you.

You know that saying that a Sunday well spent brin You know that saying that a Sunday well spent brings a week of content?

That’s been our whole entire day today! Lots going on this week in our personal lives, business (deliveries, checking in with web developers about our biggest project to date) and health stuff (hospital first thing tomorrow for me 😩) so today we have spent the day having a deep clean, declutter session, getting odd jobs done and even boiling eggs for easy snacks this week. I’m nothing if not thorough.

It means getting to spend some nice chilled out time reading a book, drinking some biscuit flavoured tea and winding down.

Do you use your Sunday to prep for the week ahead?

I don't know about you, but being home more has me I don't know about you, but being home more has meant that our energy bills have been increasing. We are on a mission to cut back on our energy usage and save some money. Getting a smart meter would definitely help us to keep an eye on our usage in an attempt to cut down on our energy bills and we can't wait to get one.

AD Did you know that there are even smart prepay meters? It means that as customers it is easier to track your usage and top up from the comfort of your own home. 

Check out my stories where I am sharing 5 ways we are reducing our energy usage to save money.

One of my favourite, and most unusual tips, is to pop a clean, dry towel into every load of laundry in the tumble 

dryer. This cuts down on the drying time which then helps us to use less energy.

A year ago today I took the biggest decision of my A year ago today I took the biggest decision of my life and had a gastric bypass to improve my health.

And improve my health it did! I have reversed my diabetes and discovered I have cancer.

My journey wasn’t straight forward - I’m not where I want to be but I’m well on my way 💪🏻

Weight loss surgery is a tool and it doesn’t fix your brain. It doesn’t fix a life time of emotional eating. But it helps along the journey 💪🏻

I keep being asked for an update but I feel like there isn’t much to say. I still struggle to eat nectarines and pears. Hitting my daily protein goals is hard work. I’ve lost a lot of my hair but I like it. I am getting stuck in the same 5lb bracket where my weight is hovering,  but I don’t feel as though I have the mental strength to push through right now. If you’ve seen my stories recently then you’ll know that I’m in a very bad place mentally right now.

Lockdown 1: we are all in this together. House pro Lockdown 1: we are all in this together. House projects. Garden projects. Sour dough. Grow things from seed. Start that side hustle or business. Have those zoom quizzes. Go for your daily walk.

Lockdown 2: we’ve done this before, we can do it again. We are doing it for Christmas. We’ve got this 💪🏻

Lockdown 3: Nope I’m done.

And that’s okay. Let’s just do what we need to do so that we live to see another day.

Jars of...Motivation! Did these little jars save Jars of...Motivation!

Did these little jars save me from a serious head funk?

Why yes they did!

Let me explain. I've got a lot of ideas and projects on to go. Looking at my to do lists is OVERWHELMING. What do I do instead? Nothing!

Mental health and The Overwhelm had got to me. There was no 'new year, new me' this year. There was 'new year, same depressed me under a cloud of darkness who isn't getting things done'.

Until my business mentor stepped in and we came up with this strategy to make jars for some of my projects, and write out tasks to do for those projects.

Now instead of looking at a to do list, getting overwhelmed and doing nothing I have some pretty jars to pull a task out from. Okay, it isn't perfect - sometimes I pull something out that needs another task doing first so I just pop it back inside and pick out another one.

If you are struggling then I would really recommend this technique! It got me out of a funk.
