Let’s start unwasting
Getting organised by writing a list means you’ll save time in the shops – only grabbing what you really need. Once you’ve got your list – stick to it! By writing a list and sticking to it, you’re well on your way to unwasting. The next time you see another Great Unwaster in the aisles with a list, give them a high five!
Tip 01
Get listing!
A list is your secret weapon against wasted food and time. No matter where you keep it, group it in sections that match your regular store so you can breeze through the aisles with ease and avoid those impulse buys. Learn easy ways to level up your list game.
Tip 02
A quick check to sharpen your list
Before heading to the shops, take a quick look in your fridge, freezer, and pantry. Check your supplies and only pop things on the list you’ll need for upcoming meals. This way, you’ll use up what you’ve already got – and the planet and your pockets will thank you for it!
Tip 03
Don’t let deals distract you
Those specials can be a great way to save money at the shops – but only if you have room to store them and a plan to use them. If the freezer is already full and there’s no room to move in your meal plan, it might cost you more at the end of the week if that extra food goes to waste. Find out how flexible meal planning can help you unwaste here.
Tip 04
Grocery shopping 2.0
A great way of sticking to your list is by ordering what you need online. Not only do you avoid distractions, you avoid the queues. Ordering your groceries in the comfort of your home means no more moments of doubt in the aisles about how many bags of salad or bread are at home. Online shopping isn’t just convenient; it’s an easy tool for reducing food waste.
Don't worry
So, you grabbed that ‘just in case’ extra packet of mince because it was on special, and now it’s getting close to that use-by date. Unwaste it by popping it in the freezer to make it last longer. Adding it to next week’s meal plan will save you money in next week’s shop.
