/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I hope it's barmy

>>18684306
i would actually like to see what you got. i dont know if the greggs near me is on the app but there's a shop on my uni campus that just gave me an armful of sandwiches for mine and it was great

A sausage roll and a vegan sausage roll. Had both in my previous bag. The vegan one is good, despite appearances (no egg wash?).

>>18684312
You might be in luck...

>>18684319
It looks a good one mate, as was my first. I'll post what I got in that one in a bit too.

I got accused of being a 2G2G shill when I did a thread a year ago, but you genuinely sound like a shill.

>>18684357
A ham and egg salad barm

>>18684358
I pasted that blurb so I didn't have to explain what it was, but I admit it made the post sound a bit #Ad

>>18684358
>hey guys buy lukewarm garbage on a data stealing app to held mega corporations capture waste
No this is a show and tell thread

>>18684377
And another barm, chargrilled chicken.

>>18684394
Two doughnuts and a cookie thing. That's the lot, not bad.

>>18684426
you got all that for 3 pound? nice
I wish we had something like greggs in america, it's not fair bros

>>18684426
Here is what I got last time. Prefer the sandwiches in today's, shame I didn't get a steak bake though.

>>18684436
Yeah, but it's not the standard price. You get what you're given and can only collect at a certain time.

i hope nobody was being racist in greggs today

>>18684436
>selling unsold food at a discount
corporations in america would sooner buttfuck you if it made them a 1 cent profit over simply just throwing all the food away and mumbling about "muh labor n' profit margins"
the waste is unreal, all cause of stubbornness

>>18684364
It's fine though. The bag is carrying bakery items, not a bowling ball and a bag of rice.

>>18685404
Those paper bag handles rip off with barely any effort, the bag doesn't even need to be particularly heavy and it will still happen.

>>18684306
I remember the last thread and I was flabbergasted by the amount of delicious pastry you got last time. Excited for you to run it back. O paddy the baddy!! O fuck thae tories

>>18685415
Mate, I use them all the time

>>18685452
I refuse to trust the handles on any paper bag, I've been burned too many times.

How often do you get called racist there

Everything looks so doughy and pale

>>18686828
Only the vegan sausage roll looks pale.

>>18684426
This didn’t look that bad of a haul and for £3 I wouldn’t complain either. Might even begin to try this and just eat like this for a week after I finish work and go home

I downloaded the Too Good to Go app because this sounds awesome and I hate seeing food go to waste. Looks like they don't operate where I live (Ohio). Sad.

man I wish I lived in a country where you can literally get fresh free food every day

>>18684514
Looks yummy. Why thry give you a Halloween pastry in December?

>>18690105
Nvm i can't read. Damn that's old.

>>18684709
Only couple things what to do for at Greggs. Being racist or and grabbing a pasty afore heading across the way for some employment.

>>18684306
That's some good Greggs

>>18689114
I'd get it more often if the collection times better fit into my schedule.

>>18689183
Sorry man :(

>>18689203
What? It's not free.

I was told the British are starving and have to eat pet food and yet this lad, for $3, got enough to feed himself for a week?

>>18685466
Imagine getting filtered by a paper bag this hard.

>>18691943
It's not that hard to just give people fucking plastic bags.

>>18684306
So... they're giving you food that didn't sell earlier in the day, yes? In other words, it's... Old Gregg's?

£2.95 for a proper feast. Bet your missus is right chuffed.

>>18684306
I wish businesses were doing that in-store rather than going through a third party like Too Good to Go which doesn't very interesting prices.
Like I'm not going to buy meat that expires tomorrow just for a 10% discount.

Explain

>>18690169
Norfman! It is time to choose my lad. Ye fancy Greggs-calibur, once pulled from the pastry making you king of the racists, Norf FC will never lose with you in attendance. Or the Gregg-sama katana made from sausage roll dough folded over a thousand times leading you to become Shogun of Sexism and a harem of geishas?

>>18684306
i love these threads. such fucking value really gets me off

>>18692257

>>18691900
Don't believe everything you read mate.

>>18691964
Nice. I reckon Boosh would be shit if I rewatched it.

>>18692033
I'll be up her chuff tonight.

>>18692086
Supermarkets/shops do it all the time in store. Yellow labels etc.

>>18692259
I might try a Sayers too good to go tomorrow.

>>18692424
>Supermarkets/shops do it all the time in store. Yellow labels etc.
Good luck getting there when they do the markdowns, competition is fierce and it's usually in the morning.

>>18692470
It's usually in the late afternoon and evenings, are you dense as fuck? Why would they do reductions at the start of the day? I've never seen more than a couple of people looking at the reduced section. People fighting over yellow labels is a meme.

>>18692540
It varies by store and product, around here it's marked down in the morning. I haven't seen deli closeouts in the evening in a long time. Chinks clearing out the meat section the moment it goes on sale isn't a meme.

>>18692424
>Supermarkets/shops do it all the time in store. Yellow labels etc.
Not enough of them do it around here because we're the most expensive region of the country and they'll loose a TON of margins if they had to sell soon-to-expire at prices that would be interesting enough.

>>18692619
So they bin stuff? Doesn't make sense.

>>18684514
>>18684736
This doesn't work in america because we have food banks and almost all of the non restaurant food ends up there. I imagine a restaurant version of this would go over pretty well on overpriced delivery apps though.

>>18692678
Some places have an equivalent to the Gregg's outlet but it's rare for restaurants. They have tight margins and quick spoilage.

>>18692678
>The UK doesn't had food banks
Lol

>>18692702
>Gregg's outlet
What are you on about?
