We all want to get the new year off to a healthy start and what better way to do that than by winning one of ten £150 vouchers to spend at Aldi - recently crowned by Which? as the cheapest supermarket for the fourth consecutive year*. The giveaway comes as the supermarket teams up with home food waste expert, Kate Hall, to show shoppers how to make the most of Aldi's Fresh Guarantee and keep their fruit and veg fresh for longer.
According to new research from Aldi, over half (52%) of Brits admit they are ashamed about how much fruit and veg they bin, tossing out nearly 500 pieces and wasting up to £520 a year. On average, 53% of Brits throw out food which hasn’t even been touched, with 56% admitting that they completely forget about food they’ve bought.
It’s estimated that Brits throw away at least nine pieces of fruit and veg a week — a total of 468 a year — with over half (52%) believing they waste up to £10 every week on food that gets thrown out. Bananas were revealed as the worst offenders with salad bags coming in a close second.
To help Brits reduce food waste, Kate has some top tips to guarantee fresh fruit and veg for longer:. Pop your potatoes in the fridge. Help your bagged salad leaves last a few days longer by placing a sheet of kitchen paper into the container they are stored in to absorb any excess moisture.
