Waste Less Food

Follow these steps to dispose of less food and save money on your grocery bill.

Checking the fridge

Go through your fridge and pantry properly before shopping. If you organize your fridge with the oldest food at the front you’ll use it up first. And don’t throw anything just for the reason it’s nearing its best before date, things don’t necessarily go bad the next day.

Plan ahead

Meal plans may seem like work but knowing what you’re going to cook can keep you on track in the grocery store. Your meal plan doesn’t need to be elaborate’ it just has to be thorough enough to steer you past the ease foods and keep you focused on buying only what you need.

Skip the giant packages

Buying what you need when you need it is more reasonable and often more pleasant than filling your cart in one lengthy shopping trip. Preferably we would shop every day. It’s quicker, more relaxing and you’ll waste less. If you are shopping weekly, avoid bulk purchases. Buying in bulk rarely saves you money because you end up wasting more.

Make soup

Making many soups, stews, curries and casseroles are the perfect way to consume the not-so-beautiful ingredients. And you don’t need to stick to a recipe, just use what you have and experiment. You can also use up extra onions, celery or carrots to make soup stock for freezing.
