WasteNot Food

Search The WasteNot List for shops and apps that sell or give away food that would otherwise go to waste

• Plan your meals before going shopping and only buy what you need

• If possible, freeze food that won’t be eaten within the use by date. See BBC goodfood for freezing tips and advice.
• If you’re not able to eat fresh produce quick enough, see if there is a frozen option, e.g. pizza or vegetables
• If you open a jar of sauce but don’t use it all, see if you can freeze the rest of it

• If you end up with left overs or food that is going to go out of date, have a look at some recipes for using up the ingredients (there are a few ideas below) – or make up your own! 🙂

• Donate to food banks
• If you’ve made too much jam or have a windfall of apples, see if your neighbours would like some
• Go to a local pond and feed the ducks leftover rice, sweetcorn, lettuce and oats
