Manchester shoppers share their food waste saving tips amid cost of living crisis
Shoppers at Manchester’s Arndale centre have been sharing their food waste saving tips as many Brits look for ways to save money on their food shop, and make what’s in the fridge go further.
Ben, originally from Blackpool, has lived in Manchester for 20 years now and said the event encouraged him to stop and think about food waste. “If you’ve already had your breakfast, lunch or dinner, it can be a great way to help homeless people at a lower cost to yourself too.” Also considering how the app could help feed the homeless community, Sianna, who lives in the city, added: “Taking the time to think about food waste has instantly made me think of homeless people. I’m wasting all this food and don’t even think who could be eating it rather than putting it in the bin. That’s where my mind instantly goes.
Alastair added: “At the moment, people need to have tips and hints in order not to waste food. We are all going to be facing a problem in the future with the cost of living crisis so I think it’s a good thing. I try to freeze food and not over buy. I try to plan my menu and only buy what I need. We also compost as well.”
