‘Excited’ Greggs fan reveals how to get 16 baked items from the shop for just £2.50 – it’s so easy, anyone can do it
A GREGGS fan has revealed how she managed to get 16 bakes from the shop for just £2.50 - and you can as well.
The woman revealed how she used a food waste app to pick up tasty treats from her local Greggs that hadn’t been bought.
In total, Emily got six sausage rolls, three baguettes, two sandwiches, two croissants and two donuts for under £3.
On her @emilyhenaghenrealestate account, she said: “So I picked up my Greggs Too Good to go bag and oh my god, all this is for £2:50.
“I love these bags.
“So I got baguettes, sandwiches, I got four sausage rolls, I got another baguette, I got a chicken bake, a steak bake, two more sausage rolls, two pain au chocolats and two doughnuts.

“Woo hoo!”
The Too Good To Go app aims to tackle the huge amounts of food that is thrown away as supermarkets get rid of food that’s about to go off, and restaurants and cafes don’t toss out things that aren’t fresh.
Many people were impressed with her Greggs haul, with one saying: “Literally just bought one after seeing ur vid!! Picking up tomorrow at 6.”
Another added: “I need this.”
A third commented: “I want to try this!"
Emily replied in the comments saying ": t's always so exciting."
The idea is that stores sign up to sell magic boxes of about to go off items for a reduced price.
There are only a few boxes available every day so you need to be quick.
The food is all close to expiry but you can freeze it, or cook something up and keep it for a few days more.
Morrisons was the first supermarket to trial it, with Aldi following suit.
What is the Too Good To Go app?
Founded in Denmark in 2015, the Too Good To Go app has become a favourite for many who are looking to nab scrumptious food on the cheap.
Many popular restaurant, café and food brands, such as Greggs, Morrisons and Costa, have partnered with the site, providing a "magic bag" of unsold food to users at the end of the working day.
With Too Good To Go, shoppers can buy food at a discounted price, making sweet savings.
You pay through the app and get given a slot before closing time to go and pick it up.
As well as Greggs, you can also find Starbucks, Costa, Cafe Nero and Subway on the app.
While Too Good To Go can be great for finding bargains, sometimes you get some rather unusual items.
