Too Good to Go - Food App

I got a bag from Alfama in Windy Arbour (Dundrum Road) for 4 quid.

2 chocolate chip muffins

2 Pasteis de Nata

2 chocolate brownies (one with nuts)

1 almond cake

They were all delicious. One of the best bags I've gotten.

But let us not forget the legendary and now oft mythical, surprise bag from the applegreen , booterstown. A nicer bunch of folk I’ve yet to meet. So sound.

its like a mini Christmas treat, especially good if you have elderly neighbours or family to share it with. Now that’s how you do too good to go.

Ordered a bag for tomorrow evening in Hattons. They always seem to have 4/5 bags every day. Was looking forward to seeing what its like but they’ve just cancelled the order. How do they know they won’t have food for a bag tomorrow???

Hmmm

I know it's a Bakery, so it's to be expected; but my god is that not just too much bread? It's hardly gonna get used before going stale?

Even so, it's worth it for the kettle 😁

Got the Aldi Easter box. Same usual stuff but sandwich and wrap dated March 31 and Apr 1. Nothing remotely Easter or worth travelling for at 9pm at night. Just scraped 13e value. Disappointing, wouldn't bother again on a holiday night.

Aldi boxes have dropped in quality as most people buy the 50%/75% off goods, before they get added to a box at the end of the day.

May be worth it if you're not fussy about the food, but having to wait around until 9.30pm at night kills it, might be easier if you love very close to a store though.

I got a breakfast box from the Clayton hotel in Limerick. When I arrived, the server handed me an empty take away box and told me to help myself to the buffet. With some careful sausage placement you could def get enough items for at least 2 people. Well worth it.

because the collection time was close to when the buffet breakfast ends. So if the box had gone unclaimed then even more food would go to waste.

It's a breakfast buffet at a hotel though, where 2 person's worth of food was saved from being wasted.

You can't predict that every guest will actually come down for, or have time for the breakfast they've paid for. They may intend to, but something comes up, they sleep in, have to leave earlier or whatever

You'd always have to err on the side of caution as a hotel, not good running out of food for paying guests, even if it's in the interest of reducing food waste.

They'd obviously want to do so, from a financial point of view, but skimping and risking a bad guest experience, means they wouldn't be able to do imo
