'I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened £4 Too Good To Go Chinese takeaway haul'

A mum who bagged a mystery Chinese takeaway forjust £4 on Too Good To Gohas described the bargain as a "game-changer". Dayna Cohen couldn’t believe her luck when she opened the package to find it crammed with a feast from a local restaurant.

The mum-of-one, from Glasgow, spotted the deal,offered by Cathay Cuisine, and decided to give it a try. Inside was a huge salt and chilli box packed with chips, chicken and a chicken ball, plus a saucy selection including chicken curry, fried rice, Chow Mein noodles and a beef dish.

The 35-year-old had been using the app for a while but says this latest haul was one of her best yet.

"It was an absolute feast," she said. "It honestly felt life-changing – so much food for just £4, I couldn’t believe it. I was shocked in the best way.

"I knew I’d get a surprise but I didn’t expect that much food. I love seeing something I’ve never tried too, I’m all about trying something new. I love Chinese food; it’s my favourite.

"This is definitely a game-changer for anyone who loves a treat but also wants to save money and reduce waste. It’s proof you can still have a treat, save money and help the planet all in one go.”

Easily worth around £15 to £20 if bought fresh from the menu, the haul was more than enough to share – with Dayna even handing one piping-hot box to a group of young people she passed so nothing went to waste.
