I'm beating the cost of living crisis with a savvy hack and it's got me over £20 of grub for just £3 | The Sun

A SAVVY shopper has shared how she's beating the cost of living crisis by bagging bargain grub.

Her trick got her over £20 worth of food for under a fiver – and she didn't even have to go to the supermarket.

Posting in the popular Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, Shenika raved about the piles of tasty pastries she got her hands on from Caffè Nero.

She said: "For anyone who wants to save money especially as we’re getting close to the summer holidays.

"Too good to Go is such a good app to have for family days out etc. All of this cost me £3.09 this would have definitely been over £20!"

The shopper nabbed loads of grub, including two chicken and pesto lattices, two raisin swirls, three pain au chocolats, three cookies, a cinnamon swirl and some macaroni cheese.

The app connects Brits to local cafes, restaurants, and shops to sell food items going out of date at a reduced price to help minimise food waste.

You pay through the app and then get given a slot before closing time to go and pick it up.

Shenika added that she planned on taking the food to her work meeting so everyone could enjoy a treat.

After sharing the amazing deal on social media other people noted that the app can be pretty hit or miss.

One commented: "It is deffo hit and miss, also if somewhere runs out of food they can cancel last minute which can be annoying.

"There is some good bits though, carveries are fab unless, like I say, they run out when you are on your way to collect."

A second agreed: "Wow I’ve never got that much from my one. I got two sandwiches and a small cake. Your one’s good."

But another loved the look of the grub, they wrote: "I keep meaning to try this, looks lovely."
