Food Rescue - Saving Money by Reducing Food Waste
Why it matters?
Paying full price as a student doesn’t make sense when discounts are available! Those small savings can really add up. Knowing where to find them means you keep more money in your budget.
How do I Use the Principles for Learning?
Plan a few meals before you shop so you’re buying food you’ll actually cook.
Start with simple meals you can make quickly so cooking doesn’t feel like a chore.
Use leftovers for your next meal instead of ordering food again.
Freeze food early if you know you won’t get to it in time.
Check what you already have before ordering food so you don’t waste it.
Try This:
- Before you order food this week, check what you already have and use that first
- Pick one day to cook something using leftovers instead of buying new stuff
