A small amount of forward planning can really cut down on food waste as well as taking the stress out of life.
-
Start by ensuring the cupboard is stocked with the basics needed to create a meal. This can be things like dry food such as pasta and rice, oils, vinegars, spices and tins/jars of sauces and vegetables.
-
Plan meals in advance, work out what is needed to create those meals and make a list of the ingredients. Shopping with a list can help to make sure only items which will be used are bought, saving time, hassle and money as well as food waste. Planning meals in advance can also take the stress out of deciding what to cook and having to go to the shops after a long day.
