All I can offer is a different 100% luck-based solution: the Strange Key trinket. I guess that means looking up Mom's Box's recipe for your run and then getting lucky, or having a bunch of money and a fortune teller and getting lucky.

Other than that, the wiki claims Mama Mega is available with a fixed recipe of either two golden bombs with six regular bombs, or eight giga bombs. Of course, neither of those is easy to arrange, and then you have the trouble of the bag being unusable in the meanwhile so you'd not be getting any stronger while you were trying for the two golden bombs. I guess Everything Jar could work for the golden bombs (if it spawns items on the ground--I forget) and there's a rare Ashpit enemy that spawns live Giga Bombs that could be defused with Safety Scissors, which might show up while you were trying to farm for the Strange Key.

I guess the other option would be to hurry, stuff everything you find into the bag without trying to decide what you'll keep and what you'll craft, and take whatever it gives you, which I for one have a tough time doing. I have enough trouble moving quick with normal characters let alone that one.

If I remember correctly, Everything Jar does drop the item on the ground.

You probably want a full-on game break to take on current Hush anyway, and Tainted Cain is good at those.

all i really do is ask myself "do i really need this?"
if not i put it in the bag
