One shopper told how she saw an 800g bag made entirely of “bread crust slices” when she was shopping.
She managed to snag the entire bag for just 30 cents – and the discovery made her day.
TikTok user @leannelovescooking wrote: “A crusty bread.
“I’ve never seen this before.”
After uploading the video, it racked up over 47,000 views and many crust fans were eager to find out where she found the bag.
Speaking of Crustworthy bread, she said: “This is in the Company Store, but I’m not sure if it’s available elsewhere.”
Company Shop claims to be “the UK’s first social supermarket network” and aims to provide “affordable, dignified and sustainable food help to individuals and families living on the edge of food poverty”.
It originated in South Yorkshire and there are now 14 branches across the UK, including in Leicester, Edinburgh, Southampton and Bradford.
One crust lover wrote: “Oh my god the dream.”
Another added: “Me and my mom fight over the crust all the time, this is a necessity.”
A third commented: “The best part of the bread.”
However, one person didn’t seem interested, saying: “Nahhh, it’s not for me.”
According to Commercial waste1.2 billion bread crusts are thrown away every year in the UK.
This is approximately equivalent to 59 million sheets of bread.
According to the North London Waste Authority (NLWA), 36 per cent of households throw away crusts.
Young people were found to be the most demanding, with 14% of 16-24 year olds cutting the crust off their sandwiches, compared to 2% of those over 55.

Best Items to Buy in Bulk at a Supermarket
Poppy Needham, pricing professional at Approved Food, shared her top tips for what to buy in bulk.
Closet essentials
Toilet paper, kitchen paper, tissues, cleaning products and laundry supplies.
Polly explained: “A 24-pack of toilet paper or a large bottle of washing up liquid will save you money in the long run.”
Starchy Staples
Rice, pasta, quinoa, oats, lentils and beans have a long shelf life and form the basis of many meals.
“Buying larger bags, 5kg or more, can significantly reduce the cost per gram,” said Poppy.
Chicken
Large packages of chicken or even cheap frozen chicken breasts in bulk.
Canned products
From canned tomatoes, tuna, salmon, any soup and even fruits and vegetables.
Poppy commented: “Stock up when you see offers on multipacks or catering cans.
Several
Cooking oils, spices, seasonings, tea, coffee and beverages – these items retain their quality for a long time.
As for sweets, larger or shared packets of chocolate are generally better value than individual portions.
