I got 6 meals for £3.79 thanks to a Morrisons Café Too Good To Go bag
Have you tried a Too Good To Go bag, or are you still wondering what all the fuss is about?
Too Good To Go is an app that allows members of the public to buy surplus food at a discounted rate, allowing them to bag a bargain while saving food from going in the bin.
From Toby Carvery to Greggs, I've tried a few bags now, but this time, I got my hands on a Morrisons Café mystery bag to see what I got inside and if it was worth it.
The app allows you to search for mystery bags that are available to collect in your local area so that's exactly what I did – here's how it went.

On the app, I was told I'd get a mix of cakes and sandwiches, but my bag was filled with sandwiches that had a variety of fillings.
Although the sweet tooth in me was a little disappointed I didn't get any cake, I was still amazed at how generous the café was.
In the bag, I got an impressive six sandwiches ranging from Ham and Mature Cheddar on Malted Bread to a Meatball Marinara in a White Sub, ideal if you're heading out for a picnic or you're entertaining friends or family at home.
I think six sandwiches for the price of £3.79 is a bargain since each sandwich can be a meal.

In the brown paper bag given to me by a Morrisons staff member were the following items:
Sandwiches:
Cheddar Cheese on White Bread x2
Ham & Mature Cheddar on Malted Bread
Double Egg & Cress on Malted Bread
Panini:
Chargrilled Veg & Basil Pesto in a White Panini
Sub:
Meatball Marinara in a Soft White Sub
With the sandwiches having short dates, picking up one of these bags is ideal if you can dish them out and get them eaten pretty quick, but I think some will last better than others.
The app had crossed £7.50 out above the £3.79 price, but I'm not sure if this is what the bag should've cost or what the items inside would've come to had I bought them individually at the Morrisons Café, but I think it was a good deal anyway.
Recommended reading:
Overall, I'd recommend trying a Too Good To Go mystery bag to see what you get - it could make for a cheap lunch or dinner option, depending on where you go and what's inside the bag.
I think the surprise element is what makes picking up one of the bags a fun exercise, if you're not a fussy eater, that is.
One downside is that you might have to collect a mystery bag late in the day when a store or restaurant is about to close, but each bag has its collection time stated, so you can choose one that suits you best, for example, on the way home from work.

Tyneside stories you may have missed this week
From a sausage roll honour, to a stolen pit pony statue and a car recovered from the tide - here are some stories from Tyneside you may have missed this week. A sculpture of a Greggs sausage roll has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds. The London attraction has said the famous Geordie snack is the first food item to go on display in its own right. It elevates the snack to the level of a British cultural icon, sitting along celebrities such as Shakespeare and David Attenborough. Read more on this story here. A car submerged by the tide near the Holy Island causeway was recovered 50m (164ft) away from the road. Chris Mason, a worker who helped recover the car, said he had never seen one swept that far away before. "It just shows you how much the tide can pick a car up and shift it." The owners were located by Northumbria Police safe on the island shortly after the report was received, Seahouses Lifeboat Station said. Read more on this story here Families who had to leave their homes to make way for a project to widen part of the A1 in Northumberland, said they had "been through hell" as they saw their properties "left to rot" unnecessarily. The National Highways agency spent more than £4m on the purchase of houses and land in the way of the scheme, but the government scrapped the plans in October 2024. Melanie Wensby-Scott sat in her car and cried on the day she and her husband left Northgate House, which sits right next to the road not far from Morpeth. "When they first came round I said I didn't want to move and they basically said I had no option," said Mrs Wensby-Scott. "It was just awful to know you were going to lose your home." Read more on this story here A mystery sculptor has erected a bronze statue of a pit pony in place of a stolen one that served as a memorial to miners in Ryhope, Sunderland. The original was was cut down to its hooves and stolen in August 2024, while an identical statue at the other end of the village was sliced down by thieves in 2021, with nobody ever traced for either theft. The new bronze-coloured, fibreglass effigy appeared on one of the concrete plinths welcoming visitors to the village on Friday morning. Councillors previously estimated it could cost £34,000 to replace each original, and that the council faced "financial pressures". Read more about this story here Newcastle United's Dan Burn, who scored a gold that helped his team seal the historic Carabao Cup win in March, has been presented with the Freedom of Northumberland. The Blyth-born defender was hailed a "Northumberland legend" as he collected his home county's highest honour. Burn said he was "quite emotional" after receiving an ornate scroll, medal and tie decorated with the Northumberland flag, in a special ceremony at County Hall. "It's a real honour, especially for just playing football," he said. Read more about this story here Follow BBC North East on X, Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram.

Wingstop to open new restaurant in Bristol, UK by summer 2025
Chicken wing restaurant chain Wingstop is to open a new restaurant in the city of Bristol, in the west of England, by summer 2025. Insidermedia reports that the new Wingstop location will be situated at 44 Queens Road in Clifton, in a retail property formerly occupied by the stationer Paperchase. DJ Foley Property Consultants, through Savills and twentyretail, previously secured Greggs for 46 Queens Road. Now, Wingstop, trading as Lemon Pepper Holdings, is set to open at number 44. David Foley stated: "There was a lot of competition for these two units, with interest being shown by well-known brands. We are delighted to welcome the two popular brands Greggs and Wingstop to Queens Road and wish them every success." The restaurant will occupy the ground floor and basement of the grade II-listed building, with the ground floor designated for front-of-house operations and the basement for customer toilets and staff areas. This will be the third Wingstop establishment in Bristol, joining Cabot Circus and Eastgate Road. The move is part of the company's UK-wide growth strategy, which includes the opening of more than 20 new sites by the end of 2025. Wingstop's expansion in Bristol is a significant part of its UK growth, which has seen the brand expand to 64 locations since its 2018 launch. It now has 2,700 employees across the UK. Bristol City Council has granted planning permission for the new restaurant, including the installation of a shopfront and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. In the fiscal first quarter of 2025, Wingstop's total revenues reached $171.1m, up from $145.8m in the same quarter of the previous year.

The completion of the deal, announced today, marks a new era for the club.
