A mum named Piper received quite a surprise when she ordered a discounted bag of Aldi products. Upon opening the bag, she discovered a whopping 106 seafood sticks inside. Piper, a resident of Sheffield, had decided to try her luck with the "Too Good to Go" app, hoping to snag some bargains for a mere £3.30. Little did she know, she would end up with a box of Aldi's "Big Sticks", worth a whopping £51.94.
For those unfamiliar with the app, "Too Good to Go" connects customers with restaurants and cafes that have excess food, in an effort to reduce food waste. This allows customers to purchase bags of food at a discounted price. Piper, a full-time mum, is a frequent user of the app and had never received a box from Aldi before. However, after seeing others online rave about their amazing deals, she decided to give it a try.
Excitedly asking about her purchase at the self-scan checkout, Piper was directed to a giant box by an employee. Confused but intrigued, she eagerly awaited its arrival. When the employee apologized and explained that it was filled with seafood sticks, Piper couldn't help but find it amusing. She reassured the employee that she actually enjoys seafood and was looking forward to using them in her meals.
However, her partner was not as thrilled with the abundance of seafood sticks. Along with the sticks, Piper also received two boxes of eclairs, a bag of salad, and a bag of mint from the Aldi store on Sheffield Road in Derbyshire. With her pregnancy cravings kicking in, Piper is now on the hunt for recipes to make use of her discounted fish. She plans on making seafood dip and has even received suggestions from others online, such as noodle dishes and seafood soup with corn.
Despite the overwhelming amount of seafood sticks filling up her freezer, Piper still plans on ordering from Too Good to Go in the future. She believes she got her money's worth with this purchase and finds humor in the situation, even if she wasn't a fan of seafood. In fact, she is determined to finish all the sticks before her baby arrives in February. Piper's friends and family have found the whole ordeal quite amusing and she is happy to have given them a good laugh.
