A Londoner has hit the ‘jackpot’ after walking away with over £100 worth of baked goods in a Too Good to Go bag.
The woman, who goes by the username @piquillopeppers on TikTok, took to the app to share her ‘insane’ haul after she bagged £118.80 worth of bread, cakes and pastries from a Gail’s in the British capital.
The Too Good to Go app lets you buy bags of leftovers from shops, hotels and restaurants in a bid to minimise food waste – but the contents are a mystery until you collect them.
The TikToker paid only £5 to rescue a bag of fresh food from the high street chain bakery, and was amazed to discover she had more than £100 worth of goods.
She took home seven loaves of bread, eight buns and five muffins in her humongous rescue bag.

At the start of the video she said: ‘I got over £100 worth of food from a Too Good To Go bag from Gail’s in central London.
‘I got incredibly lucky and they gave me three whole bags as they had a particularly quiet day.
‘The bread selection was two of their white San Francisco sourdoughs (priced at £4.60 each), one small garlic and rosemary focaccia (£3.30), and four of the brown sour dour loaves (£3.30) which will freeze really well.’
Moving onto the pastries, the TikToker revealed that she had bagged a stash of pastries and sweet treats.
In her second bag of treats, she found two all butter croissants, which usually sell for £2.65 each in store.
Describing the find as ‘wild’, she also showed off a whopping eight blueberry and custard brioches, from the bag.
The round blueberry stuffed sweet breads would normally set you back £4.10, earning her £32.80 worth of berry filled treats.
Next in the sweet bag, she uncovered four chocolate chip muffins and a blueberry one, panning the camera across a mountain of perfectly cooked golden buns.

The muffins would ordinarily cost £3.30 each, meaning the TikToker had found herself with £16.50 worth.
She also snagged a few items from the cold section, bringing home three mango and passion fruit chia pots usually priced at £4.30 each.
And it wasn’t all things sweet and doughy. The social media user also took home two beetroot, lentil and goats cheese salads, usually costing £6.80 each, and one spelt, cauliflower and ferment filled vegan salad pot.
The total value of everything that she brought home in the jam packed bags was £118.80. At the end of the video, she did admit that she had shared the food.
Taking to the comments, viewers couldn’t believe her luck, with one even saying she had ‘hit the bread jackpot’
‘I did share this ginormous haul with friends and family and filled up my freezer with bread for the coming month,’ said the TikToker.
Taking to the comments, viewers couldn’t believe her luck, with one even saying she had ‘hit the bread jackpot’.
A second wrote: ‘I would feel the need to start a bakery that day’ while another simply said: ‘Oh my god, so lucky’.
A fourth person penned: ‘All those sourdough loaves to freeze! I’m very jealous of you!’
