A gobsmacked shopper was left in tears after receiving dozens of onions in his food order. Tim Clarke bought a mystery Too Good To Go box from Morrisons. But he ended up stunned once he opened the package and saw the eye-watering amount of onions – 72 in total – a vegetable renowned for making you cry when peeled. Tim bought the box from the supermarket chain in Denton, Greater Manchester in hope of bagging himself a bargain. Too Good To Go is an app that allows shoppers to buy surplus supermarket food at a reduced price before it is thrown away. The aim is to cut back on food wastage, but the catch is that customers don’t know what they are going to get. Also inside Tim’s bargain box were strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, red potatoes, iceberg lettuce, one red onion and an avocado. But the excess of white onions has now taken over Tim’s meal plans for the foreseeable future. Since picking up the bag he has been frantically googling onion-based recipes to concoct. The shopper has now set his sights on using a portion of the onions in an onion pie and onion curry. Tim, from Stockport, said: “I was quite happy as we needed onions but I was conscious that we only have a small fridge. We use onions daily but now need to find onion-based meals. We decided to get a Too Good To Go box to save money and be environmentally conscious. Bargain box for £3.09 we thought, however, we got a commercial quantity of onions. Very dull meals ahead.”
