Sustainable saving

Natalie Sarau, founder of Forkful, shares tips on how preventing food waste can help you save money!

Store correctly. Use airtight containers and freeze anything that's close to its use-by if you're not going to get around to using it beforehand. Did you know you can even freeze pancake mix? 

Get creative. Managed to score a bargain at the shops and not sure how to use the food? Get creative and freeze wilted herbs in iceblocks and add them to drinks to keep cool in summer. Turn yesterday's cheap bread into a delicious panzanella salad. Use up mangoes to make mango salsa!

Care to share. Does your local council-run library host a food swap? There are so many wonderful initiatives to share food within local communities. Give your local council a call or jump on local Facebook groups.
