Waste not, want not!

It’s a staggering statistic that the average person in the UK wastes around £1,700 each year on food, luxury items, entertainment, travel, gadgets and hobbies – with men wasting around £240 a year more than women!

According to the Soggy Lettuce report, carried out by Prudential, more money is wasted on food than any other category of good or service – a whopping £424 per person.

Lettuce is the Number 1 culprit - 61% of households admitted to throwing out soggy remains each week.

It’s bad enough that we’re wasting our money, but when you consider that the majority of these wasted purchases end up in landfill, it really is time for us all to start changing our shopping habits – for good.
