Our food blog

Every March during Food Waste Action Week, we focus attention on the hugely important but often overlooked climate change issue of food waste. This year, between the 18th and 24th March, we’ll be encouraging everyone to ‘Choose What You’ll Use’ and  highlighting the benefits buying loose fruit and vegetables can bring both to our pockets and the planet. 

What if we were to tell you that there’s a simple action you can take when you’re at the supermarket or doing your online shop that could help save tens of thousands of tonnes of food each year?

The rising cost of living calls for creative ways to make savings, and the weekly food shop is a great place to start. In today’s post, we’ll be looking at some of the ways you can reduce what you spend in the supermarket and get more value from the food you do buy – all while saving food from the bin!
