Using mobile phone apps to reduce food waste is a win for your purse and the planet
Want to spend less money? Then we could do worse than look to our grandparents for inspiration, but with the help of modern technology. Reducing our food waste is a great way to save, and it has the advantage of lowering our impact on the environment.
The cost of food waste
Food waste is a big problem. In the UK, 60% of food waste comes from our homes - and this means we're chucking money in the bin. The average UK family could save £1,000 per year by not throwing so much food away, says the campaign group Love Food Hate Waste. You can find advice on its website atlovefoodhatewaste.com, but there are also easy-to-use smartphone apps that can help.
