Save
Planning your meals is the first step to reducing food waste at home, but more than that, it can improve the way you eat, as well as save you money and time. The benefits of meal planning are many. Have a look at this infographic on meal planning for tips on how to do it as well as how to eat healthier.
Reducing food waste at home involves a more conscious consumption of food, and that means a more mindful approach to shopping. Whatever you do, don't just rush to the shops with an empty stomach and no real idea of what you want to put in your cart. Make a calendar of meals that you need throughout the week, with pre-planned recipes for each meal, and identify the ingredients and quantities you need. Once you can plan which ingredients can be reused for multiple meals, you will be able to cook in batches and be prepared for the future.
