Greggs and Too Good To Go launch £2.99 ‘Grab Bags’
Surplus food marketplace Too Good To Go has expanded its partnership with Greggs to launch Greggs Grab Bags across more than 1,800 shops nationwide.
Available for collection daily, the bags include Greggs product offerings such as Chicken Goujons, Cheese Bites and Potato Wedges from £2.99. The bags can be collected throughout the day as the shelf life of hot-to-go items end approximately every two hours.
The offering is different to Greggs’ Surprise Bags, which are only available at the end of the day and early morning.

The nationwide rollout follows successful trials which showed strong demand and a clear appetite from customers to save food from going to waste.
Customers can reserve a Greggs Grab Bag through the free Too Good To Go app, pay in advance, and collect it from their chosen Greggs shop. The contents of each Grab Bag will vary depending on the surplus food available that day.
Sophie Trueman, UK & Ireland country director at Too Good To Go, said the bags will make “a real difference in the fight against food waste”.
“By partnering with Greggs to launch the new offering nationwide, we’re making it even easier for customers to rescue delicious food at great value, and every Greggs Grab Bag collected is another step towards a planet with no food waste,” she added.
Through the Too Good To Go partnership with Greggs, over 5 million Surprise Bags have been saved from going to waste.
Gillian Long, retail operations director at Greggs said: “We’re always looking for ways to make sure our food is enjoyed, not wasted, and in partnership with Too Good To Go, the Greggs Grab Bags are a brilliant solution.”
Too Good To Go connects more than 120 million registered users with over 180,000 active business partners in 19 countries. Since 2016, the Too Good To Go community has helped to save over 500 million meals from going to waste globally.
