Store Food Properly to Waste Less

Saving money in the kitchen does not begin at the stove—it starts much earlier: when shopping for groceries and storing food correctly.

How often do we buy fruit, vegetables or other ingredients with the best intentions, only to end up throwing them away because we forgot about them in the fridge or stored them incorrectly? In the first lesson of The New Home Economics, we will learn how to prevent food waste by starting with better kitchen organisation and a more mindful approach to managing household food supplies.

Through practical advice and strategies that can be easily applied to everyday life, we will discover how to organise the pantry, refrigerator and freezer to preserve the freshness, quality and safety of food for longer.
