Most kitchens hold a week of meals hiding in the back of the cupboard and freezer. Using them first saves money and cuts waste.
How
- Once a week, check what needs using soon
- Build one or two dinners around those items
- Keep a running list on the fridge of what's in the freezer
- Once a month, plan a "pantry week" with a smaller shop
