"ALDI LAUNCHES TOO GOOD TO GO PARTNERSHIP ACROSS ALL UK STORESAldi is rolling out its partnership with the world’s largest surplus food platform, Too Good To Go, across all of its 990 UK stores.
Following a successful trial last year, the UK’s fastest-growing supermarket is now offering surplus food bags available nationwide, in a bid to tackle food waste while also offering even lower prices to customers.
The ‘Magic Bags’ will contain a range of grocery products that are approaching their sell-by or use-by dates at less than a third of the price, costing just £3.30 each to purchase for at least £10 worth of food.
To get a Magic Bag, shoppers can simply download the free Too Good To Go app and search for their nearby Aldi store, before reserving a bag to collect from the store at an allotted time.
The nationwide roll out is expected to save a further 4,000 tonnes of food from going to waste annually and will form a key part of Aldi’s ongoing commitment to cut food waste.
In addition, all of Aldi’s UK stores will continue to donate surplus food to local causes 365 days of the year. Since 2019, the supermarket has donated more than 30 million meals via its successful partnership with Neighbourly.
Liz Fox, Corporate Responsibility Director at Aldi UK, said: “Rolling out our partnership with Too Good To Go is another way of allowing us to cut down on food waste, while also offering customers the opportunity to pick up our food at even lower prices.
“With the rising cost of living impacting so many, Too Good To Go offers a simple and accessible way for consumers to save money and reduce waste.”
Sophie Trueman, Managing Director of Too Good To Go UK and Ireland, added: “We’re thrilled to be rolling out our partnership with Aldi nationally. Having already had fantastic feedback during a successful trial period, I know our Too Good To Go community is going to jump at the chance to save Magic Bags from their local Aldi and prevent even more good food from going to waste.”

sorted byThere are some stores that take the mick and put tiny amounts in, but they're easy to avoid. The one I most often get, Waitrose, always has more than £50 retail value of nice food for £5.
Supermarket ones are very hit and miss.
i do my supermarket shopping from the app every third day. i dont eat beef, so when i get them, i give them away.
This is too much of a lottery with what you get.
Collection was after dinner and most things were use by the same day, which meant they ended up in the bin anyway, completely defeating the purpose.
Also it wasn't £10 value, as seeing that it was heavily reduced, I would have paid far less than the announced £10.
What we got on our bag:
A bag of apples (the only thing we actually would have bought);
A steak pie;
Some iffy looking fish;
A yoghurt/protein pot.
The steak pie and the fish were both use by and collection was well after tea time, so both ended up in the bin.
Paid £3.30 for a small bag of apples and a yoghurt. Never again.
For example, the Yo-Sushi near me will put near £30 worth of sushi in a bag for £3 and it's still beautiful. Gregg's also usually give quite a lot.
People using apps like Olio instead mean the supermarkets lose money twice (on the cost of the products and the extra labour) and are far more labour intensive to sort. TGTG main selling point for retailers is that it's so simple.
It's a good idea if it is convenient. I'm not going to start driving miles just to pick up a random bag and find I will only eat 1 thing out of it.
I did Greggs once which I think was £3 and had 4 items in it. Barely covered the £3 I paid and nowhere near the should be £10 or whatever.
Once at Waitrose bearing in mind they have already taken your £5 she admitted not much to give tonight. From what I am reading above they therefore should have cancelled the order not give me just half a bag effectively.
Here's some observations:
1. Most places offer 65-75% discount, *but* if they're in an already premium priced location (like at a transport hub) they don't offer good value.
2. There's a great range of cafes, carveries and bakeries, but the listed supermarkets are probably the only ones that already have in-house discounting to reduce waste, so don't offer as good quality compared to the others.
3. There's a rating system, so you can avoid the places that just want to offload cr*p that belongs in the bin anyway, but also find the good exceptions to the first two observations.
Today, for example, I got a big box of living salad (so still fresh) for £2, and a bag from the local bakery for £3 that had over a tenner's with of bakery goods made today. My favourite so far is a local carvery that does a massive roast dinner for £3, but you have to wait until 9.30pm to get it!
I'm a TGTG enthusiast and just wanted to address a few points.
* Yes, it's no good for fussy eaters or those with dietary requirements. If I get something I don't fancy, I'll either ask to have it put in someone else's bag (egg mayo butties are grim), offer it to the neighbours or stick it on Olio.
* If it's not worth the advertised value, complain and get your money back.
* Nothing should be past its use-by date, so complain if it is.
* Treat it as a bit of fun. Like Ready Steady Cook.
Got burnt on arriving a few too many times by places using this to make more money and not caring if your time or fuel is wasted and reading the comments it seems a fairly common practice unfortunately.
Great idea ruined by lack of respect for users. (edited)
Then it got worse again this summer once the economy went down the 🚽, and all the local bags near me shrank by like 50%. They just sell more bags with fewer products now.
That's ignoring the cancelled when you're already there or the oh we are out but didn't tell you, which ends up costing you. (edited)
anyone living alone or with any kind of food intolerance or dislike of any food risks furthering food waste by throwing these things away,
Instead of just pricing them very cheaply in the supermarket instead, its a little extra labour, but it's for a good reason.
(Helping venerable people, and reducing food waste)
maybe reducing doing multiple reductions thoughout the day to reduce labour (sometimes you see 3 reduction stickers stacked)
Heck, no sticker needed put it all in a 10p bin.
That allows people to choose how much to buy and what to buy. And what of elderly people who lack the tech? It's very hard for some older generations who live alone to figure this stuff out, for them there will just be less reduced food for them to buy.
I think too good to go should stick to cafes and restaurants and not step on supermarket reduction toes. (edited)
My Greggs from last night for £2.95
I've made 3 orders with my 3 local coops. One was cancelled 30 mins before collection, one cancelled 10 mins before collection and the other one, they forgot to cancel it so I arrived on store and they sent me away with sweet FA.
I also had one that cancelled after the collection had started, so having traveled there and parked up, it was cancelled as I approached the store.
Groceries or places selling various sandwich type things have occasionally been off and gone in the bin.
Having said that there some excellent ones that are reliable.
They key is to reign in any high expectations. I generally only use a few that I know because of so many bad experiences. (edited)
I use TGTG and have had various amounts from £7 to £35 (just after a bank holiday) worth if food on the £4 for £12 worth. There is also the chance of getting multiples of the same item. All said, it is worth trying if there is a participating store very near you, then just trial and error but keep an eye on the star ratings.
Worth planning to do a batch cook and freezing cooked meals.
I suspect this will be like Morrisons grocery, full of tons of the same veg (16 bags of potatoes & 5 swedes) and some squishy fruit
