What are you doing to combat food waste?
I always buy almost everything that is about to expire or has its best before date; everything is on sale in the supermarket.
I buy a lot of meat to freeze, yogurt and butter, cheese.
Save as much money as possible and you won't waste so much.
We make it similar.
I bought and frozen recently reduced fresh yeast for one year. I worked wonderfully and saved.
I also buy butter and meat reduced and freeze them. Also cheese on the piece, it is rubbed and frozen for pizza and pies. Sausage and cold cut.
Once at New Year’s Eve, there were beef chops for 1,50€/kiloe at Kaufland because they had too much and wanted to get rid of it quickly. We must have bought 15Kg and frozen.
I find it particularly sad when whole chickens are reduced and not bought because when it lands in the garbage, the animal died for free. That’s really bad. I usually buy 1 or 2, but I would like to take all of them, but I usually don’t have enough space in the TK cabinet.
I’ve been thrown away a lot because I’m often calculating, so I’m just going to eat and don’t cook myself, that’s also saving a lot of effort and time.
Hey.
Fruit that is no longer beautiful can be frozen or processed directly to dessert or curry sauces. Bananas can be processed as an example in a cake.
Vegetables that are no longer fresh can also be frozen or processed directly to vegetable cream soup
It is also possible to cook sauces from various vegetables, for example carrots and then pasta or the like.
It is also possible to use blurred potatoes, which may already easily sprout. Potato, gnocchi etc. However, you should leave fingers away from the green potatoes.
I work in a kitchen and for most households this may be too expensive. But bowls and sections of vegetables, parsley styles etc. Can be kept for vegetable broth.
What also helps is consciously cooking. Just as much as necessary. Simple example: if you do not cook a whole 500g pack of spaghetti.
And perhaps make sure how long which product is durable. For example, the salad must be used first and not only in a week. First in First out Principle: that is when you have a yoghurt lying around at home, you again bought 5 pieces the “older” yoghurt was first used up, to logically.
Hope I could help even if these are more possibilities for consumption. But rather waste than waste? 👍

I certainly don’t buy them their old crest. With a budget of 30 euros per week, there is no food waste.
If you need to save, it would be useful to buy reduced goods.
I agree with Foodsharing and try to produce only little food waste in my household.
Work a master of the housekeeping, who can cook.
