A shopper preordered a surprise Too Good To Go bag from Greggs for £2.99 but was left scratching his head after seeing the 14 items they included inside the bag
Everyone loves snapping up a bargain, and that’s virtually guaranteed with Too Good To Go bags. Keen to put this theory to the test, Bryce pre-ordered a surprise food bag from his local Greggs to discover whether it justified its £2.99 price point.
In a TikTok clip, he revealed what he got item by item – though one thing left him utterly baffled. Bryce, who goes by @bryces_adventure on social media, is shown retrieving sausage roll after sausage roll from the bag. He couldn’t help but question why they’d chucked in so many of the identical item. Altogether, he got eight sausage rolls, one pink glazed doughnut and a pack of five jam doughnuts.
He said: “For the foreseeable future, I’m going to be living off sausage rolls and jam doughnuts.”
“Was this worth the money or have I been scammed by Greggs?”
Responding to his post, one user exclaimed: “Who complains about getting Greggs sausage rolls?”
Yet, someone claiming to be a former Greggs employee said they’d done the bag ‘wrong’. They wrote: “Greggs employee here! They did this bag all wrong. They did not follow protocol.
“It’s meant to be one sandwich, one savoury and one sweet at a minimum, then you keep adding items fairly until it reaches around £9 in value.
“There was no sandwich – giving you six of the same savoury is mad too, although I guess technically allowed. They didn’t package it correctly either.
“There are no allergen labels on the items like there should be, and the bag wasn’t sealed! Maybe go to a different Greggs location. I would’ve done it a lot better if I was on shift.”
A third person commented: “Considering four sausage rolls are £4, you got plenty, so definitely not a scam.”
Another user remarked: “I recently picked up a Starbucks Too Good To Go and got six of the same muffins! I mean, I’m not complaining, but a bit of variety would have been nice!”.
Greggs has been approached for comment.
