1
Freeze more food
Bread, wraps, fruit, herbs, cheese, meat — reduces waste dramatically. Most food freezes well and lasts months.
Action:
Start freezing items before they go bad. Invest in freezer bags and containers. Label with dates.
2
Cook double portions twice a week
Freeze the extra to avoid takeaways and emergency shops. Batch cooking saves time and money.
Action:
Plan two double-batch meals this week. Freeze portions for busy days.
