How can I shop smart to reduce food waste? 

1. Make a meal plan
2. Write a list and stick to it
3. Shop locally and in-season

Use our Smart Shopping Tips when you get ready to go to the shops.

• When making your meal plan and shopping list always check what is already in your fridge or pantry before hitting the shops.

• Prepare your list based on your meal plan and stick to your list when you’re in the store.

• Don’t be tempted by ‘special’ offers or go shopping when you’re hungry — you’ll come back with more than you need.

Following these steps will:

1. help save you money
2. reduce the amount of times you need to go to the shops
3. reduce dinner time stress
4. help you maintain a diverse and balanced diet
5. reduce the amount of time you spend shopping.
