The apps mean there’s no need for food waste
Kind-hearted Kathryn Neale not only uses OLIO and Too Good To Go to save money, but she shares fresh produce with local foodbanks and care homes, too.
The 37-year-old single mum, who has four children, works as a volunteer food collector.
She says: “I get milk vouchers for my little two and have been getting the government vouchers for the big two but it’s not been quite enough.
“I still need to get fresh fruit and veg and keep a good supply of full-fat milk in the fridge for the little ones so getting a Morrisons box once a week has been a great help.
“It’s £3.09 and although it is meant to be a veg box, it can consist of anything that is reduced or damaged but is always edible and should be up to the value of £10.”
As well as
Morrisons’ veg box picking up cut-price food for herself, Kathryn also delivers reduced produce to other people, including shielding pensioners and her parents.
She believes that if you don’t want or need certain food, there is no excuse for binning it as almost everything can be frozen or given to people who can use it via apps like
OLIO.
