Did you know that if all apples, bananas, and potatoes were sold loose, we could save 60,000 tonnes of food waste every year? That’s according to research by Love Food Hate Waste.
The good news?
All our apples, bananas and potatoes are sold loose—and they’re organic! In fact, 90% of our fresh fruit and veg is packaging free, from broccoli to pineapples, lemons to courgettes. That means you can buy only what you need—nothing more, nothing wasted.
Reducing food waste can feel like a big shift, especially with busy lives, but small changes can make a big difference. Start with one or two tips, and before you know it, they’ll become second nature.
8 Easy Ways to Cut Food Waste
1. Take Stock Before You Shop
Peek into your fridge before planning meals. Move older items to the front so they don’t get forgotten.
2. Plan Your Week
A little planning saves a lot of stress. You’ll only buy what you need and avoid last-minute panic purchases.
3. Shop With a List
Keep your shopping focused with a detailed list. Whether digital or handwritten, it helps you stick to what’s needed—like just 2 carrots, not the whole bag.
4. Store Food the Smart Way
Proper storage helps your produce stay fresh for longer.

5. Eat the Whole Veg
Turn peels and offcuts into veggie crisps or homemade stock. You’ll be amazed how much goodness is hiding in your scraps.
6. Make Leftover Night a Thing
Designate one night a week to use up what’s left. Ever tried Bottom Drawer Soup? Just gather what’s about to go over and get creative.
7. Cook More, Waste Less
Batch cook your favourite meals and freeze portions for later. Don’t forget to label and date them—it’s like a gift to your future self.
8. Check Your Fridge Temp
Keep your fridge between 0–5°C. Many UK fridges run too warm, which causes food to spoil faster. A fridge thermometer can help keep things cool and fresh.
