Ever wondered how much money you waste by throwing away food?

Maybe because you've made too much, you haven't had time to eat it or you've forgotten it was in the fridge?

Around a third of all the food we buy in the UK ends up in the bin. Throwing away food is one of the biggest causes of climate change because it creates methane in landfills.

We are supporting the Love Food Hate Waste campaign, which encourages us all to get the most from the food we buy.
