As food prices continue to skyrocket, Brits are seeking ways to on their groceries. One method that many have found effective is using the Too Good To Go app, which stores sell the food that would otherwise go to waste.

Too Good To Go bags are incredibly popular as they typically contain a variety of tasty, often freezable, food for a very low price, and both shoppers and sellers can feel good knowing they're helping to reduce unnecessary food waste. Plus, sometimes you strike gold and bag a particularly good haul that's worth much more than you paid for it.

A woman named Rackie decided to test if the Too Good To Go bags really are good value for money and purchased a £3.30 bag from her local , but was taken aback when she received a box of items instead of the usual bag.

"I'm back with a giant Too Good To Go box. This one's from Aldi," she announced in her video, revealing that the entire box and its contents only set her back £3.30. "And it's huge, so let's go through it." She then proceeded to unbox each item.

"Right, in the box we have a tiger bloomer," she said as she brandished the loaf of bread. "I love tiger bread, this is exciting. It's massive as well."

Next, she retrieved four individual bags of crisps from the box, all in different flavours.

Rackie then added: "We have... we've got a whole bag of chopped cooked carrots. Maybe that was in a bigger bag and they like split it out into sandwich bags? I'll eat them, I hardly ever eat carrots because they go to the dog."

She then unboxed clementines and luxury fruit hot cross buns, followed by six tins of tuna in brine, water or sunflower oil. Next up was a bag of plums, with Rackie admitting: "I don't know my fruits, I've got some plums. I'm not very good at fruits, I don't really like fruits so these will go probably to my dad who takes all of the stuff that I don't eat."

Next up was a yellow pepper which she planned to use for a stir fry, plus a bottle of blackcurrant-flavoured still water and two packs of toffee-filled muffins.

Rounding off the goodies, she showed off the large cardboard box that her food had come in, which immediately became a new bed for one of her cats.

Wrapping up her video, she sao=id: "I'm very, very pleased with this one," showing her appreciation with a thumbs up.

Viewers were quick to comment on the impressive contents of Rackie's box, with one person commenting: "That's the best thought out TGTG I've ever seen, the different flavours of crisps and different tunas, seems like they genuinely considered things."

"If you do this consistently and don't like fruits I can highly recommend learning to make jam. It's really easy and jars of homemade jam make great gifts," a second person shared.

However, another viewer said: "Our Aldi ones are always poor. Too much of the same stuff. Who can use 5 bags of watery stirfry and 10 mangoes?!"
