Don’t let it go to waste – a little planning will make your food shop go the distance

SAVE YOUR SOURDOUGH

To stop the remnants of that delicious weekend loaf going to waste, slice what’s left on Sunday and freeze it. No mouldy crusts, no trying to slice a half-defrosted block of bread. Win. DON’T CHUCK AGEING BANANAS Peel, chop and freeze those bad boys. They’ll lend a lovely creaminess to smoothies or, blended on their own, make a great single-ingredient ice cream alternative. DO A LUNCH-SHARE You know, like a car-share, but for food. Take turns making your midday meal with a work friend – or your housemate – on alternate days or weeks. It’s the future. DOUBLE UP ON DINNER

Eat half now, then store the rest in a Tupperware. Let the food cool before sealing and popping in the fridge. Perfect for when you come home from the gym hungry.
