One mum has gone viral on social media for sharing a snap of her £1.50 Too Good To Go box from Lidl and has explained how shoppers can get their hands on one.
The popular budget supermarket launched the Too Good To Go scheme back in 2019 and it provides shoppers with 'wonky' fresh fruit and veg that, which is a bit imperfect, but still fine to eat.
Sharing photos of all the fruit and veg she managed to receive in the box, the 5kg box was met with significant praise from shoppers who called it "an absolute haul".
The Manchester Evening News reports that mum-of-two Arja Vapola took to Facebook to share the box which contained grapes, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, potatoes and much more.
With the cost of living crisis continuing to see prices on food rise, it is understandable why so many shoppers have been impressed with the boxes.
Arja, who lives in London, said: "£1.50 too good to go box from Lidl (minus the eggs). Plenty of life left in all but blueberries - they’re gonna be gone in five minutes in this house anyway.
"Too many easy peelers for our household but gonna give them to my partner take work to his colleagues so there’s no waste.
"If you’ve never seen these in your local Lidl ask member of staff what time they go out. I have three Lidls close by and one puts them out 8am, another ones closer to midday."
Shoppers commented on how much they love the boxes - when they manage to get their hands on one.
"The £1.50 Lidl good to go boxes are brilliant value for money, usually find the best first thing in the morning. Saved me a lot of money recently," said one.
Another described the box as 'an absolute haul' and suggested a veg hash recipe for Arja to make with her ingredients.
And she's not the only one making a big
