Morrisons Launch New Too Good To Go £3.99 Chilled Bags

Morrisons has extended its partnership with Too Good To Go to launch Chilled Surprise Bags, adding meat, dairy, ready meals and other chilled food to its range of surplus-food offers. The new option was announced on the 4th of November 2026. At my local Aldershot store, the bag is listed at £3.99 for a stated £12 worth of food, although prices vary between stores.

After hearing about the launch, I checked my Too Good To Go app and confirmed the chilled bag was available locally, complete with a “New” label. There were two available for that day when I looked, with collection between 7pm and 10.30pm. The listing also warns that the food will have same-day use-by dates, so this is something to plan around rather than leave in the fridge to sort out another day.

What’s in a Morrisons Chilled Surprise Bag?

The description lists meat, sandwiches, dairy, ready meals and more, with the contents depending on what hasn’t sold that day. A few ready meals or some meat that can go in the freezer could be useful for future dinners. A bag with several sandwiches might be harder to make use of that evening, especially if everyone has already eaten, but that’s just one possibility rather than what you should expect to receive!

I used to work at this very Morrisons store in Aldershot, and one of my jobs a few years ago was making up the Too Good To Go bags. Some days we had far more left over than expected, while on others there wasn’t much to put in them. Having seen that side of it, I know why one collection can be very different from the next.

Is it only available in London?

The launch coverage described an initial offer at 25 stores in the London region, but the listings already extend beyond London. Aldershot isn’t London, even if we aren’t a million miles away, and there are official chilled-bag listings for Basingstoke and Dukinfield in Greater Manchester too. That makes it worth looking in your own app rather than assuming the offer won’t reach you.

I wouldn’t take that as confirmation that every Morrisons has the chilled option yet. Search for your branch through Morrisons on Too Good To Go, then look for the Chilled Surprise Bag among its listings. The examples below show why it’s worth checking the local price as well as whether the store is taking part.

How the £12 value is worked out

The advertised value is based on the food’s normal retail value before it’s sold as surplus. When I made up the bags, we counted the original shelf prices, even when the items already had yellow stickers on them. That’s why adding up the reduced prices on the packs can give you a total below the £12 shown in the app.

If a ready meal normally cost £4 but had been reduced to £1, we’d have counted £4 towards the bag’s value when I was doing it. You might therefore get food with £12 of original shelf prices whose yellow-sticker prices add up to considerably less. It could still be a good buy for £3.99, but the comparison is with normal prices, not necessarily what you’d have paid at the reduced section that evening.

Against the advertised £12 value, £3.99 is £8.01 less, or roughly 67% off. How useful that saving is depends on what comes home and how much of it you can use. I’d rather have a few things that replace food I was going to buy than a larger bag that nobody in the house wants to eat.

The later collection time is worth planning around

At Aldershot, the collection window showing in my app was 7pm to 10.30pm. Quite a few of the bags I normally look at have collection times around 5pm, which can fit better with being out and about or on the way home. By 7pm, I’ve usually cooked tea, settled in and may well be in my pyjamas, so going back out needs a little more motivation!

I do intend to give one of these chilled bags a whirl, but I haven’t collected one yet. I’ll need to choose an evening when the timing works and I can deal with the contents when I get home. Later in the day there may be different food left over, but a later collection doesn’t automatically mean a bigger or better bag.

To order, select the chilled bag, reserve it and arrange payment through the app, then collect within the window on your reservation. Show the order to staff and complete the collection confirmation with them. Check those times before booking, because another store or a different bag type may work to a different schedule.

Can the store cancel your bag?

Yes, a reservation can be cancelled if there isn’t enough surplus food left. From my time making up the bags, that uncertainty makes sense: what you expect to have available and what’s actually left at the end of the day can be different. The two bags showing when I checked Aldershot were a snapshot, rather than a promise of two bags every evening.

If the store cancels, the reserved payment is released or refunded if it has already been taken. Have a quick look at your order before heading out, so you don’t make a journey for a cancelled collection. Saving a store as a favourite can also make its listings easier to find next time; availability will still vary from day to day.

Use-by dates matter with chilled food

These bags are advertised with same-day use-by dates, which matter particularly for meat, dairy and prepared food. Keep the contents chilled, look through them when you get home and use, cook or freeze suitable items within the date on the pack. A use-by date is about safety rather than quality, so I wouldn’t recommend keeping a sandwich until tomorrow once that date has passed, even if it looks fine.

Some ready meals and meat products can be frozen, which could make the bag useful even if dinner is already sorted. Others may be unsuitable or labelled as previously frozen and not suitable for refreezing, so follow what the packaging says. It’s also worth checking ingredients and allergens if anyone in the household has dietary requirements, as a mystery selection won’t automatically suit them.

Why I’m pleased to see more food being offered this way

When I worked at Morrisons, I saw a lot of food go to waste, which was a real shame. There were products that could still have been eaten in time but hadn’t sold and hadn’t made it into a Too Good To Go bag. Once their use-by dates had passed, they couldn’t go back on sale, so getting them to somebody who can use them that evening is a much better outcome.

That’s one reason I like the idea of expanding the range of bags. It gives more of that food a chance to be used and gives shoppers another option for spending less. There’s no promise that every bag will be brilliant, but I’ve had enough experience with the service to know that a mixed result one day doesn’t tell you what the next collection will be like.

What if there’s a problem with the contents?

If there’s a problem with the food or the bag’s advertised value, contact Too Good To Go through the Help Centre in the app. I’ve had to raise issues a couple of times with previous bags and received refunds, although that’s my experience rather than a promise of the same outcome every time. Explain what’s wrong so the team can look at your particular order; refund requests need to be made within 30 days of the collection window ending.

Getting something you wouldn’t normally buy is part of the mystery-bag experience, but that doesn’t mean accepting food that isn’t fit to eat. My earlier Morrisons bag experiences cover some of the variation I’ve had, while our Too Good To Go guide explains the wider service. Those are based on previous bags, not a test of this new chilled range.

For £3.99, I think it’s worth trying if you’ve got room in the budget, can make the collection time and are happy to work with whatever turns up. It works best when you can be flexible about what you eat, rather than depending on it for a particular meal. I’ll give the chilled option a go when the timing works, and hopefully come home with food that saves us more than the price of the bag.

Frequently asked questions

The Aldershot bag was £3.99 for a stated £12 retail value when I checked. Prices vary between listings. Check the amount and stated value shown for your chosen store in the app before booking.

What is in a Morrisons Chilled Surprise Bag?

The listing includes meat, sandwiches, dairy, ready meals and other chilled products as possible contents. What you receive depends on the surplus available that day. The listing warns of same-day use-by dates, so plan to use, cook or freeze suitable food within its date.

Are Morrisons chilled bags only available in London?

No, the chilled bags also have listings in Basingstoke and Dukinfield. I confirmed the new option in my Aldershot app listing too. Availability still depends on the store and how much surplus food it has.

What time do you collect a Morrisons chilled bag?

My Aldershot listing showed collection between 7pm and 10.30pm. Other stores and bag types can have different collection times. Check the window on your own reservation and make sure it fits your plans before booking.

Can I freeze the contents of a chilled Surprise Bag?

Suitable items can be frozen on or before their use-by date. Some ready meals or meat products may already have been defrosted and carry instructions against refreezing. Follow the packaging rather than assuming everything in the bag can go in the freezer.

What if there is a problem with my Too Good To Go bag?

Contact Too Good To Go through the Help Centre in the app and explain the problem. I’ve received refunds after raising issues with previous bags. That doesn’t guarantee a refund for every complaint, as the outcome depends on the circumstances.
