Are you spoiled rotten?

Shropshire Council sent this bulletin at 11-02-2020 10:30 AM GMT

As a nation we all waste more than we think...…

We shop without checking what we’ve already got at home. We boil too much rice because who knows how much to cook? We leave salads to wilt in their bags, chuck out half a loaf of bread and end up with cartons of out-of-date milk because we bought a spare, just in case. When it comes to food we are spoilt for choice.

But we can all avoid being spoiled rotten!

Together, we can stop food being wasted by making some small and simple changes that will benefit us and our planet. Here’s three ways to get started:

Make the most out of it!

Use Love Food Hate Waste's A-Z storage tool which has more than just tips for where to store your items!

Like using over-ripe bananas to make delicious banana bread, or frozen berries to make smoothies.

Browse the tool to discover more tips and tricks on how to cook with and use up ingredients whether they’re fresh, overripe, or frozen

Use it all up!

Broccoli stalks are brilliant in stir frys, potato peels make delicious soups and herb stalks are as good as the leaves!

Discover hacks for how to use up all of your ingredients.
