  • Use best-before dates as a guideline but don't rely on them, usually it's just a recommendation for fresh fruit and veg. A general rule of thumb is that it'll be fine for a couple of days more than that, especially if you're storing it correctly. 
  • Freeze your fruit and veg before it has gone off to save it for even longer, pre-cut peppers and onions that have been frozen work great in a stir fry. 
  • Get better at meal prepping to use up any food before it goes off and save time cooking for the rest of the week.
