Plan your shop and cook your plan ​

Planning your meals or snacks for the week can not only save time but can save on food waste too. ​Remember, before you shop, check the ingredients you already have or plan your meals to use what’s in your pantry, fridge or freezer.​

Save some for later​​

Leftovers can make great lunches – so, get smart about storing them. A leak-proof lunch box can give you a cheap and tasty lunch on the go the next day.​​

Clip it up and pop it in the freezer​

A simple sealing clip can help to reduce the amount of wasted food in your everyday life. Many foods come in larger packages than we need. So, when you don’t need to use it all at one time, seal it up to help keep it fresh or freeze it for later. ​

Make food go further​​

Have too much fruit and veg? Why not preserve them? Try making jams, pickles and chutneys and store them in glass jars or freeze them for smoothies. Also, vegetable peels are perfect for broths, soups and stews.
