Food Waste Tips
Enjoy more taste and less waste with helpful ways to make the most of your weekly
shop and care for the environment.
• Place food that’s next to expire at the front of your fridge to remind you to use it next.
• Buy easily perishable foods, like fresh fruit and herbs, in smaller quantities to reduce food waste
-
Add your weekly meal plan to the fridge so everyone knows what needs to be eaten when.
-
Let people plate up their own meals to account for how hungry they are, avoiding portion sizes too big to be finished.
-
If you only want to eat half the contents of pre-packaged food, add the rest to a Tupperware to keep in the fridge until needed
-
Look out for refill options in store for essentials such as nuts, cereal, coffee and granola
-
Make sure to recycle single use packaging
-
Create a shopping list based on your planned meals and aim to stick to it
-
Avoid shopping when you’re ravenous to avoid impulse pick-ups and bulk buying
• Transform roast chicken leftoverds to create a delicious broth or homemade stock
• Add leftover veg peels, stems and other food scraps to your compost
-
Revive stale bread to create croutons, stuffing or a breadcrumb topper for pasta bakes
-
Love your leftovers and use as tasty lunches to take to work or school.
• Check the best before dates on your food before creating a weekly meal plan to make sure you use up those perishable ingredients in time.
• Divide large packs of meat into zip lock bags and freeze until needed for a quick mid-week meal.
-
In easy terms, ‘use by’ is a deadline and ‘best before’ is a guidance
-
Can also check quality of food by inspecting for mould, discolouration, sours smells and texture changes such as with soggy stale biscuits.
