Waste not:
Store food appropriately
Use your freezer to store cooked food if you aren’t going to eat it
When you buy a loaf, keep half of it in the freezer and keep half out for your sandwiches
Turn left over bread into croutons, bread crumbs or a Panzanella salad using old bread and seasonal tomatoes.
Think about how much food you are buying – make sure you aren’t buying too much
Make a list before you go shopping at the supermarket
Don’t get sucked in by 3 for 2 deals if you aren’t going to eat the food
Get creative with your leftovers! Head to Love Food Hate Waste’s website for some inspiration.
