Iceland Rolls Out £2 ‘Lucky Dip’ Mystery Bags Nationwide With Olio

The app-based scheme lets shoppers reserve near sell-by mystery bags for in-store pickup.

Overview

  • The national launch began on October 7, offering bags across the UK through the Olio app.
  • Each bag costs £2 and is promoted as up to 80% off, with contents worth up to about £10.
  • Bags contain at least eight items nearing their sell-by date, with possible produce, staples or deli goods.
  • Shoppers reserve a bag in the Olio app, then pay and collect at the selected Iceland store during a set window.
  • The rollout follows city trials in London and Manchester, with Iceland and Olio framing the move as a food-waste reduction and money-saving effort.
