I stumbled across your channel yesterday after buying Aldi TooGoodToGo boxes myself and wanting to research them. And I think I've found a new fav channel to add to my regulars! Thank you for the content (and fun personality). It's great to see your husband participating in your video's too! Keep them coming.

Panera Bread in the USA here has drinks all day for $12-13 per month subscription. Can get any drink you want, every two hours. I go for coffee or diet coke as a treat. But it saves me a TON of money every month, not having to buy and make coffee. The location is literally opposite side of highway from work. LOVE it!! @@mumthings

OMG, I've never had an Aldi bag like yours, mine was herbs a pizza , pitta bread, a a milk shake. Crap, I've had one since, & it wasn't worth the money. Well done you.

The gammon will cook lovely in the slow cooker....

Please do more content with your husband you two are so fun together 😂😂 amazing video

An absolute bargain! Xx

Just subscribed having watched some of your good to go bags videos. They are super. Ed is funny. Thank you xx

I have today picked up a bag from my local Morrisons small shop and this is what I had....... fresh veg soup, 2 x chicken kievs, Richmond sausages, minced beef and onion pie, 2 x mac & cheese ready meals (my daughter said it was fab), a snacky chicken kebab, 3 x toffee muller yogurts, a 6 pack strawberry mousse pots, blueberries, grapes, herby new potatoes, and a loaf of fresh bakery bread. Insane and all totally good and fresh. I don't get bags often as I live in a small town and it's tricky to catch them, and I work so can't always pick up, but, really, this was a very exciting bag :) apparently would have cost me £27.94, which is utter madness!!!! Love your videos.

You could freeze one of those gammon for Christmas you got real bargains I'd never pay 2 .99p for a sausage mash in a Yorkshire pud the other gammon you could cut into slices and freeze or cook slice and freeze into so many slices in a pack for sandwiches or have gammon egg and chips one of my favorite quick meals

You look very glamorous today Claire. You got 2 amazing boxes today. Well done I always cook my gammon in the instant pot I add apple juice and on the top I add brown sugar mustard and honey every one loves it. Xx

Amazing .... I've only had 1 Aldi box and it had 3 blue cheeses, another small cheese, cheese and tomato sandwich and some chillies. Nothing like the variety your store puts in ..... your latest 2 boxes have to be the best I've seen. 😀

Get some of that ham on his quiche! 😂😂😂 Great boxes!! Boom ❤🎉

Excellent value with the hams. You did really well. Nice variety with the other items.

I downloaded the app 3 days ago but have yet to dip my toes in. Right now my freezer is full the fridge is stocked so no point in getting one to waste it or give it away. Love watching you and you are very down to earth which is refreshing.

@mumthings with them bargains you can't go wrong the gammon alone was worth 3.30 all day long. I seen someone make corned beef lasagne it was using the corned beef instead of pasta with fried onions and beans topped with mash potato and cheese on 😋

Just got my first TGTG box, from Aldi, loads of fish, four pots of hummus, 😂, sweaty looking ham and chicken, very wrinkly peppers and some dodgy looking lamb mince meat, worth over thirty quid I reckon, I don’t really eat fish and really just fit for the bin, only cost three quid, so no great loss, hopefully better luck next time!

Thanks for encouraging me try downloading the app to my phone ,which 8 didn’t think I could do.woo hoo. I’ve done it (70year olds not good at that stuff.off I toddled you the local garage to pick up my bag to be faced with a befuddled youth who hadn’t a clue. Anyway sorted now and thanks again xx

I've just picked my first bag up from Aldi and got the runt of the litter. A small box Sushi (which we don't like) , a box of custard tarts, 2 small packs of water melon, a bag of fresh mint and 5 bags of fresh rosemary, that was it. I think that would struggle to reach the alleged £10 minimum value. You win some, you loose some.

The gammon is amazing as cola gammon in the slower cooker

Hi Claire and Ed 😊 I just watched this then went straight on the TGTG App to see if there was any surprise bags available.. and there was 2!! So I’ve reserved them and I’m excited to pick them up tonight! I will let you know what I get 😂

I have spent the weekend so far, binge watching your Too Good To Go playlist. I have come to the end, already feeling the withdrawal. I know it is basically watching someone take food out of a box but it is so mesmerizing. Like a magic show - what will happen next?! They should definitely make you their spokesperson. Love your tell it like it is, humourous approach. I also watched your Q & A where you spoke of your trip to Whistler, Vancouver and Quebec. Grew up in Southern Ontario and now live on Vancouver Island so I am very familiar. We have Too Good To Go App here however from what I can see it is just Tim Horton's and 7-11 who participate in my area. I too am Celiac (maybe that's why I bonded so much with your channel) and live alone so neither of these are good options. We also have the Flash Food app here, I think it is just Canada and US. It is a similar concept but it is specific items and a quantity of them. However, there is only 1 grocery store (part of a national chain) participating anywhere near me. For example right now I can see a fruit box or veg box for $5 (about 3 pound sterling). No idea how big it is though. Hopefully it will expand soon, maybe I will give it a try anyway. For now, I guess I will move on to your Food Haul or Budget Challenge playlists. Keep up the great content and Hi to Ed!

Sheep are vegan made hubby laugh. We have only just started using the TGTG and haven't had as much success as you though, Aldi - loads of bread that was way out of date, sliced meat that was off, carrots that were slimy (binned), the only thing suitable for eating was some cake, which we don't normally buy anyway. 2nd box was full of bananas, lol.

Our impression was the young girl was run off her feet and nothing had been removed from the shelves that had the reductions for the day so she had grabbed whatever she could. I did complain - to the CEO of Aldi and got an apology and a voucher. We have come to the conclusion that it is better for us to shop later on when the reductions have been done and choose what we will eat. We will try TGTG at other places though.

"It's at work, they've got people for that!" Great to see you get such good boxes. I still don't understand cooking meat from frozen but apparently you can. Is that the kind of pork that has a crackling top if put in the oven? I wonder if cooked in slow cooker with maple syrup and mustard it would be good. (Please stick in another clip of Wednesday eating salad! That was fun! She's very beautiful.)

You could even make corn beef hash with the corn beef

Clare your looking lovely and your hubby cheeky ham not breakfast lol. Devon put cream first whereas Cornwall is jam first. We southern pronounce scone different lol love not crops buns toasted or in a bread butter pudding type thing. Relic also good with croissants

Just cut the gammon joint in half, then freeze both!!

@junestatton8909

6 ай бұрын

Obviously varies on weight and whether you want to roast or boil it. Usually a 2kilo joint takes about 20 to 25 minutes. I then do either a brown sugar light rub or an orange marmalade rub for another 10 minutes, but ham should already be cooked. I leave it to self cool in the pot.

Amazing deal,in the usa those hams would be .99 a pound.

Why does ed make me smile. He reminds me so much of my husband. I’m Japanese and he’s English and he would love a scone and a hot cross bun. As the Japanese play around with scones and hot cross buns and he’s not to keen.
