Sponsored post: New ways to use up old food with Sainsbury’s Food Rescue

lsykes July 2, 2014

Throwing out-of-date or leftover food into the bin is often a heartbreaking affair. Whether you are conscious of the money you are squandering or the wider picture when it comes to food waste, it never feels good to toss away any part of your weekly shop, no matter how big or small.  Sometimes, it’s because you’ve let the food in your kitchen pass its expiry date. In other cases, it’s because you’ve simply bought too much food, or cooked more than your family can handle.

With the average UK family throwing away as much as £60 a month in out-of date food and leftovers, Sainsbury’s, in collaboration with Google, has launched ‘Sainsbury’s Food Rescue’ - an online and mobile service offering practical solutions to make the most out of ingredients you have lying around the kitchen.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
