Panera Bread in the USA here has drinks all day for $12-13 per month subscription. Can get any drink you want, every two hours. I go for coffee or diet coke as a treat. But it saves me a TON of money every month, not having to buy and make coffee. The location is literally opposite side of highway from work. LOVE it!! @@mumthings
I stumbled across your channel yesterday after buying Aldi TooGoodToGo boxes myself and wanting to research them. And I think I've found a new fav channel to add to my regulars! Thank you for the content (and fun personality). It's great to see your husband participating in your video's too! Keep them coming.
I have today picked up a bag from my local Morrisons small shop and this is what I had....... fresh veg soup, 2 x chicken kievs, Richmond sausages, minced beef and onion pie, 2 x mac & cheese ready meals (my daughter said it was fab), a snacky chicken kebab, 3 x toffee muller yogurts, a 6 pack strawberry mousse pots, blueberries, grapes, herby new potatoes, and a loaf of fresh bakery bread. Insane and all totally good and fresh. I don't get bags often as I live in a small town and it's tricky to catch them, and I work so can't always pick up, but, really, this was a very exciting bag :) apparently would have cost me £27.94, which is utter madness!!!! Love your videos.

OMG, I've never had an Aldi bag like yours, mine was herbs a pizza , pitta bread, a a milk shake. Crap, I've had one since, & it wasn't worth the money. Well done you.
You look very glamorous today Claire. You got 2 amazing boxes today. Well done I always cook my gammon in the instant pot I add apple juice and on the top I add brown sugar mustard and honey every one loves it. Xx
I downloaded the app 3 days ago but have yet to dip my toes in. Right now my freezer is full the fridge is stocked so no point in getting one to waste it or give it away. Love watching you and you are very down to earth which is refreshing.
You could freeze one of those gammon for Christmas you got real bargains I'd never pay 2 .99p for a sausage mash in a Yorkshire pud the other gammon you could cut into slices and freeze or cook slice and freeze into so many slices in a pack for sandwiches or have gammon egg and chips one of my favorite quick meals
Amazing .... I've only had 1 Aldi box and it had 3 blue cheeses, another small cheese, cheese and tomato sandwich and some chillies. Nothing like the variety your store puts in ..... your latest 2 boxes have to be the best I've seen. 😀
Just got my first TGTG box, from Aldi, loads of fish, four pots of hummus, 😂, sweaty looking ham and chicken, very wrinkly peppers and some dodgy looking lamb mince meat, worth over thirty quid I reckon, I don’t really eat fish and really just fit for the bin, only cost three quid, so no great loss, hopefully better luck next time!
It's probably a bit late now but for the future I think you could list your unwanted items on olio for people to collect for free. You set your own pickup location and time. Saves wasting unwanted food.
Also commenting helps with algorithms as well liking the vid. Appreciate the time and effort you put in the vids especially being a mum where every bit of time is hard to spare 🙃
@mumthings with them bargains you can't go wrong the gammon alone was worth 3.30 all day long. I seen someone make corned beef lasagne it was using the corned beef instead of pasta with fried onions and beans topped with mash potato and cheese on 😋
Brilliant video i love you 2 together. Such good boxes, your so lucky our Aldi doesn't do them down here. We just have a couple of local bakers and the coop. I understand about your wool stash as i have loads as well. Take care xx
After watching your video, I was so excited to get my first Aldi TGTG box. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. Lot's of salads, mushroom stir fry, dry buns, pears and a pack of ham trimmings. Your boxes were amazing though.
I've just picked my first bag up from Aldi and got the runt of the litter. A small box Sushi (which we don't like) , a box of custard tarts, 2 small packs of water melon, a bag of fresh mint and 5 bags of fresh rosemary, that was it. I think that would struggle to reach the alleged £10 minimum value. You win some, you loose some.
Ohhhh thank you! Surprised the heck outta me. AND I am SO proud of you for mentioning the Coffee thing, as well as the subscribe etc! Now on to watch your very entertaining material.
Hi Claire and Ed 😊 I just watched this then went straight on the TGTG App to see if there was any surprise bags available.. and there was 2!! So I’ve reserved them and I’m excited to pick them up tonight! I will let you know what I get 😂
Hi both, we had a ham that BIG and we cooked IT, then we sliced it up and porcherd IT and freezed IT. If that gives YOU eneny iders. Take care and all the best.😊😊👍👍
Thanks for encouraging me try downloading the app to my phone ,which 8 didn’t think I could do.woo hoo. I’ve done it (70year olds not good at that stuff.off I toddled you the local garage to pick up my bag to be faced with a befuddled youth who hadn’t a clue. Anyway sorted now and thanks again xx
I have spent the weekend so far, binge watching your Too Good To Go playlist. I have come to the end, already feeling the withdrawal. I know it is basically watching someone take food out of a box but it is so mesmerizing. Like a magic show - what will happen next?! They should definitely make you their spokesperson. Love your tell it like it is, humourous approach. I also watched your Q & A where you spoke of your trip to Whistler, Vancouver and Quebec. Grew up in Southern Ontario and now live on Vancouver Island so I am very familiar. We have Too Good To Go App here however from what I can see it is just Tim Horton's and 7-11 who participate in my area. I too am Celiac (maybe that's why I bonded so much with your channel) and live alone so neither of these are good options. We also have the Flash Food app here, I think it is just Canada and US. It is a similar concept but it is specific items and a quantity of them. However, there is only 1 grocery store (part of a national chain) participating anywhere near me. For example right now I can see a fruit box or veg box for $5 (about 3 pound sterling). No idea how big it is though. Hopefully it will expand soon, maybe I will give it a try anyway. For now, I guess I will move on to your Food Haul or Budget Challenge playlists. Keep up the great content and Hi to Ed!
Sheep are vegan made hubby laugh. We have only just started using the TGTG and haven't had as much success as you though, Aldi - loads of bread that was way out of date, sliced meat that was off, carrots that were slimy (binned), the only thing suitable for eating was some cake, which we don't normally buy anyway. 2nd box was full of bananas, lol.
Our impression was the young girl was run off her feet and nothing had been removed from the shelves that had the reductions for the day so she had grabbed whatever she could. I did complain - to the CEO of Aldi and got an apology and a voucher. We have come to the conclusion that it is better for us to shop later on when the reductions have been done and choose what we will eat. We will try TGTG at other places though.
Clare your looking lovely and your hubby cheeky ham not breakfast lol. Devon put cream first whereas Cornwall is jam first. We southern pronounce scone different lol love not crops buns toasted or in a bread butter pudding type thing. Relic also good with croissants
"It's at work, they've got people for that!" Great to see you get such good boxes. I still don't understand cooking meat from frozen but apparently you can. Is that the kind of pork that has a crackling top if put in the oven? I wonder if cooked in slow cooker with maple syrup and mustard it would be good. (Please stick in another clip of Wednesday eating salad! That was fun! She's very beautiful.)
Why does ed make me smile. He reminds me so much of my husband. I’m Japanese and he’s English and he would love a scone and a hot cross bun. As the Japanese play around with scones and hot cross buns and he’s not to keen.
@@mumthings you need to try Purin which knocks your Creme caramel out of the park!! I always carry one!! You can get them in import stores but are expensive in the UK. Which makes me cringe when I come to see my parents.
Obviously varies on weight and whether you want to roast or boil it. Usually a 2kilo joint takes about 20 to 25 minutes. I then do either a brown sugar light rub or an orange marmalade rub for another 10 minutes, but ham should already be cooked. I leave it to self cool in the pot.
If you are in the UK, or maybe it is just England, there is an app you can download to your phone. I'm in Canada so I don't really know. But you could google it, too.
You download an app called Too Good To Go 😊 if you look at my playlist on them in the very first video I made about it I talk you through how to use it xx
Why did you keep covering the dates? The couple you didn't cover were dates the 4th and the 6th, i thought the dates would be the same in a good to go bag 🤔
OK, so you are not vegetarians but there really isn't a need to make a (albeit fake) fuss over a vegetarian item. I dont eat meat but still was impressed with the grocery haul
Thank you! Ah I’m sorry, he is only joking around vegetarian food. He wouldn’t choose it himself but he totally gets the many reasons why other people do. It’s just a wee bit of a running joke between the two of us xx
@mumthings okey dokey, thanks for the reply, you come across very lovely and dry sense of humour, I do have another suggestion for your bingo sayings, 'Salad for the tortoise ' x
Ed: what’s the worst that could happen?
Claire: Fire *(continues reading)*
🤣 he worries me sometimes xx

😢mine was soso bad. They had left over salad veggies dumped in a basket and asked us to pick from that. I picked two packets and left.
Just subscribed having watched some of your good to go bags videos. They are super. Ed is funny. Thank you xx
That ham was excellent
An absolute bargain! Xx

Same here, over the hill beg and lots of bread, i really dont believe those hams were actually in there, i feel they might be click bait.
You look very glamorous today Claire. You got 2 amazing boxes today. Well done
I always cook my gammon in the instant pot I add apple juice and on the top I add brown sugar mustard and honey every one loves it. Xx
Please do more content with your husband you two are so fun together 😂😂 amazing video
Haha thank you! It’s a bit tricky as he’s generally looking after the girls when I’m filming xx

Excellent value with the hams. You did really well. Nice variety with the other items.
Two hams! Definitely worth it! Terrific deal! 🥰🖖🐢💤
Definitely worth it! We got very lucky xx
Wow Claire and ed it was worth it just for the big piece of gammon thank you for sharing ❤😊
Fab bags. Thank you the dynamic duo love you both together. Take care lovelies 😘🥰 xxx
Thank you 😊 you too! Xx
Absoloutely fab surprise bags this week, a few recipes spring to mind with the gammon joints, Ed and you together a class act tfs Jax ❤x
Also commenting helps with algorithms as well liking the vid. Appreciate the time and effort you put in the vids especially being a mum where every bit of time is hard to spare 🙃
Thank you so much! Xx
I was going to say what happened to emptying the freezer 😂. And also, more with Ed please because you are fun to watch together.
Wow claire them gammons were such a great price brill x x x x
More Ed he is very funny
He is 🥰 xx
They should make it on the package : salad for the turtoise 😂❤
🤣 I Want to see pictures of Wednesday the tortoise in supermarkets everywhere cx
@mumthings ahhh that would be sooo sweet! She would become famous little lady in no time!!
You could do cornbeef lasagne. Wowowowowow you hit on with that gammon joint!!!!!
Stick it in the freezer 😂 ed is comical.
Corned beef lasagna is inspired 🤤 this poor freezer will never empty 🤣 xx
@mumthings with them bargains you can't go wrong the gammon alone was worth 3.30 all day long.
I seen someone make corned beef lasagne it was using the corned beef instead of pasta with fried onions and beans topped with mash potato and cheese on 😋

Your boxes were amazing though.
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. It really does vary between shops xx
I love Ed face when he says it's vegan just like my hubby's (i am vegan hubby will never be !!! )😂
🤣🤣he’s hamming it up (pun intended) a little but he feels very strongly that it’s not a meal without meat 🤦🏻♀️ Very annoying! Xx
Ham paid for itself. Enjoy. Take care ❤❤xx
I've just picked my first bag up from Aldi and got the runt of the litter.

Hi, I got 10 packs of Richmond meat free bacon rashers, loads of salad, bread, grapes, radishes and some lovely flowers. Not too bad I guess.
Hi both, we had a ham that BIG and we cooked IT, then we sliced it up and porcherd IT and freezed IT. If that gives YOU eneny iders. Take care and all the best.😊😊👍👍
The gammon is amazing as cola gammon in the slower cooker
Those boxes,bags,were a bargain

Wow amazing deals 🎉
We got very lucky! Xx
No judgement you need to keep food prices as low as possible all the best ❤
Absolutely, plus it saves on waste! Xx
Am sure everyone would get more boxes if could why let stuff go to waste when people like yourself can. Buy it stop waste love your videos 💖
Gammon cooked in cola... Ok for Easter maybe?
Ooh love gammon cooked in cola. Haven’t done it in ages, thanks for the suggestion! Xx
Oh here here great score enjoy
Wow great boxes
Instant pot absolutely 👍
Definitely trying it! Xx
Sheep are vegan made hubby laugh.

Wow what a great deal for you
You could even make corn beef hash with the corn beef
Let Ed do the cooking bet that would good😅 probably a good idea happy days😊
He can cook really bless him but he doesn’t often get the chance. Maybe I should get him to do meals for the week and see what he comes up with xx
Good idea 😊
Clare your looking lovely and your hubby cheeky ham not breakfast lol. Devon put cream first whereas Cornwall is jam first. We southern pronounce scone different lol love not crops buns toasted or in a bread butter pudding type thing. Relic also good with croissants
You two are so lovely, it makes me happy watching you ❤
Thank you so much! Xx
See, this is the very reason I joined the Buy Me a Coffee. So happy watching!
You and Ed are so funny together 😂

You two are so great together. Fantastic bags today! You can absolutely cook the gammon in an Instapot from frozen!
Aw thank you 😊 that’s good to know! I will definitely try it in the instant pot xx
Why does ed make me smile. He reminds me so much of my husband. I’m Japanese and he’s English and he would love a scone and a hot cross bun. As the Japanese play around with scones and hot cross buns and he’s not to keen.
Aw 😊 Ed’s a bit fussy with his desserts too. He likes the classics, I love things like mochi but he’s not keen. He’s missing out! Xx
@@mumthings you need to try Purin which knocks your Creme caramel out of the park!! I always carry one!! You can get them in import stores but are expensive in the UK. Which makes me cringe when I come to see my parents.
Just stick a slice of corned beef on your fritata and you'll be fine Ed.
Just cut the gammon joint in half, then freeze both!!
Amazing deal,in the usa those hams would be .99 a pound.
Ham cooks well in my instant pot.
Fab! How long do you cook it for? Xx

I love your videos funny family oriented and great food ideas
More of you & Ed so funny it makes me happy
More meals of the week please 🇬🇧🏴💕
From here it looked like one ham and one pork. First one was scored. Second one netted
How do you get these bags?
Hi, great video as always, why is your videos back to front?
Ah that’s because I use the front facing camera on my phone and I’m not tech savvy enough to flip it. Hopefully it’s not too annoying! Xx
My husband loves vegetarian /vegan food, .... as long as it's accompanied by meat!
How do you get the bags x
