Use your loaf, use leftovers

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT: Shoppers are being encouraged to cut food waste and save money through a new campaign.

Love Your Leftovers launched at Sainsbury's in Stoke on Saturday.

The campaign aims to provide customers with hints and tips on how to use up leftovers, instead of binning the food.

Store manager Mary Walker said: "Love Your Leftovers is a great way to help our customers reduce their impact on the environment by using up their leftover food in new and original ways.

"It's bound to benefit our customers' pockets too as using leftovers will help to make the weekly food shop go that little bit further." The supermarket has worked with WRAP (the Waste & Resources Action Programme) to put the campaign together.

WRAP recently identified that one third of food purchased gets thrown away and most of it goes into landfill. Pictured is Sainsbury's employee Allan Knapper.
