For various reasons we are trying really hard not to waste any food. We've never thrown much food away but achieving zero waste is close to impossible.
How much food do you throw away? Do you stick by sell by dates or go with your nose? |

I never abide by the dates on the label. If it looks ok and smells ok it gets eaten.
Unfortunately with 2 kids there is more waste than I'd like as they're unpredictable in their eating habits. |

I go by my nose because Marc won't do it. I'm the official food taster! 
We throw almost nothing away. We are far too cheap and it's easy to eat everything we buy when its only us two.
One thing I do often throw away is fresh cilantro. I just can't use all of it for the life of me!!

What we find difficult is if you've had friends round and they've all brought something and despite being asked declined to take it home. I just can't find a use for bucket loads of coleslaw or left over dips |

Oh, sorry. I think you guys call it coriander? Freezing is a good idea. I'll try it next time  Cheers!

I will only throw food away once its gone mouldy (apart from cheese). Floppy veg can be added to soups and stews, soft fruit stewed and added to yoghurts. Eggs don't hang around long enough to go bad.
Living alone means I only buy what I want to eat. |
