Know your dates
|
Checking dates saves money. Food can be eaten right up to a 'use-by' date or frozen. 'Best before' dates are for quality so there is no need to throw out food on the stated date - eggs being the exception. |

It pays to plan
|
A great way of saving time and money is to check what's in the cupboard, fridge and freezer and make a list before going shopping. Planning like this removes the hassle of thinking about what to eat every day and lets us enjoy food at its freshest. Visit lovefoodhatewaste.com for loads more handy ideas like these and great recipes for leftovers. |

Lovely leftovers
