Food waste

More portions for single people would cut down a lot of the waste in my house. There are a lot of people living alone, but it's still difficult to buy small quantities of things.

I agree with you RosieLeah. I overbuy with a lot of items that usually get slung in the bin because I won't eat anything perishable beyond 2 days because you don't know when it first began its life.

I would love to be able to buy exactly the amount I need but supermarket s seem to think that you need a big bag of carrots, instead of just one, for example. Loose produce is the answer!

I do not overbuy and all leftovers, and there rarely are any, get put straight in the freezer, so no danger of anything going off.

This is why I have only a small table top fridge, which is usually half empty

I like bogoffs and I eat them all, it's not difficult. I don't bin food at all.

Must admit M0nica I do overbuy but then rearrange my meal plan for the week to accommodate that - however I never throw food away, always making soup with left over veg.

Having a freezer means one ‘bogof’ goes in there while we eat another or I’ll have a batch cooking morning. Perishable fruit is eaten fresh, frozen, jammed or sauced and poured over yogurt or ice cream - my imagination goes ballistic when I see food going cheap!
