Are you wasting more than you think?
It turns out we are...
What canwe doabout it?
Pack it. Stack it. Chill it.
Proper storage and labelling are easy secret weapons to longer-lasting food and fewer “what’s that smell?” surprises. Treat your food right, and it’ll stick around long enough to reach your plate.
Flexi meal plan
Life’s busy, we get it! You never know how the week will go – who might drop by, invite you over for dinner or call you up for lunch? And after a tough day, who can resist a takeaway? But by planning for the unexpected, we can unwaste food and be better prepared for whatever comes our way.
Join the leftovers revolution
Don’t let last night’s dinner sulk in the fridge! Leftovers are a quick and easy way to save time, money, and give your taste buds a second helping of something delicious.
First in, first out
Before grabbing that brand-new bag of salad, remember the opened one patiently waiting its turn. Eating older items first keeps your food rotation fresh and prevents hard-earned groceries from getting thrown in the bin.
Stick to your list
Buying too much at the supermarket is easily done, particularly when those specials and multi-buys are so tempting. But by sticking to a list, you can keep your kitchen stocked with just the right amount and avoid that unnecessary ‘just in case’ loaf of bread.
Cook just right
Do you often cook too much rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there! By checking how many people are eating, how hungry they are and recommended serving sizes, there are easy ways to prepare just the right amount.
Save room for seconds
We all put a little too much on our plates from time to time. So, why not start things off with smaller servings? After all, you can always go back for seconds or save it for leftovers tomorrow.
