Do you tend to spend a lot every week? It’s no wonder the Brits are a bit stuck as sell-by and best-before dates don’t last long when it comes to doing your weekly Grocery Shop.
The cost of living crisis has caused many Britons to cut back on their grocery shopping. So it’s no wonder we’re trying to consume less and waste less when it comes to food.
WasteManagement.co.uk says around 9.5 million tonnes of food is wasted in the UK every year.
However, this includes waste generated at different stages of the food chain, including production, processing, distribution, retail and households.
Fortunately, Tesco has helped with what you can do to reduce food waste, especially yoghurt.
The supermarket giant suggests using the freezer for more than just ice cubes and frozen peas.
According to Tesco’s website, “freezers are most efficient when they are full, so make the most of the space to avoid food waste and prepare ingredients ready to use. From milk and cheese, vegetables and rice, the freezer can do it all.” .
“You’ve probably bought frozen yogurt on vacation as a cooling summer treat, but you can just as easily freeze extra yogurt at home.
“If you have kids, stick mini yogurt sticks ready for summer snacks later. Or plan ahead and use the rest of a cup of Greek yogurt to make these three-ingredient fruit-filled frozen yogurt bars. and granola.”
Other products that the supermarket giant has suggested to be frozen include the household items milk, butter, eggs and bananas.
According to experts at YeoValley, people should store yoghurt “in the back of the fridge where it’s colder and make sure the fridge is set to 4°C or below”.
