Morrisons shopper bags massive £19 box of food for £3 – here’s how you can too
A MONEY-saving Morrisons shopper has revealed how she bagged a massive box of food worth almost £19 for just £3 using a nifty app.
Stephanie Edwards, 34, from Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, saved herself £15.65 on her food shop after nabbing the impressive bargain using the Too Good To Go app.
“It was a brilliant bargain for the price - I will definitely be looking to buy one again.
“Each time will be a different box so you never know what you can get.”
Morrisons told us its Good To Go Boxes should contain a minimum of £10 worth of food, so Stephanie got almost double this in her order.
The Sun has seen several success stories by other shoppers using the Too Good To Go app too.
One mum told us she buys restaurant roast dinners worth £12 each for just £3.29 using the food app, and she reckons it saves her hundreds of pounds a year.
How to cut the cost of your grocery shop
FOOD shopping can be one of the biggest weekly expenses for consumers. Here's how to keep costs down.
- Write yourself a list – And stick to it. By doing this, you'll end up buying only items you need.
- Create a budget – Work out what you can afford to spend each week. Once you know what cash you have, it becomes easier to know how much you can splash on groceries.
- Never shop hungry – If your tummy is rumbling, you're far more likely to make impulse buys and veer away from your list.
- Don’t buy pre-chopped veggies or fruit – The extra they’ll charge for chopping can be eye watering.
- Be disloyal – Don't feel bad about shopping around - you could just end up nabbing yourself a deal elsewhere.
- Check the small print – It’s always worth checking the price per kg/lb/litre when comparing offers so you’re making a like for like decision as a bigger box won’t necessarily mean you get more.
- Use your loyalty cards – Don’t be afraid to sign up to them all. They all work slightly differently – work out what bonus suits you better and remember to trade in your points for additional rewards.
How does Too Good To Go work?

The idea is to fight food waste, so you're paying for food that is either close to its sell-by date, or that the retailer couldn't sell.
You don't get to choose what's in your food box, so each time it is a complete mystery in terms of the contents.
Shoppers can search for restaurants or supermarkets on a map system in the app, so you can work out what's near by.
Once you've found somewhere tasty, order your box and then pick it up later at the allotted time - but once they're gone they're gone.
