ANTI-WASTE, WHAT IF WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT WHILE SHOPPING?

Reducing food waste, to avoid wasting food produced for us, to respect the planet and to prevent unnecessary expenditure, starts at the very moment we make our purchases. Here are our 5 tips for shopping with less food waste.

1) Make a shopping list

Plan your weekly purchases according to what's left in the cupboards, fridge and freezer (and why not in the garden!). Make a detailed list of the week's menus and the ingredients you're missing. Whether the list is on a piece of paper or a note on your phone, adopt the method that suits you!

2) Start with the anti-gaspi section

Did you know that most supermarkets now have an anti-gaspi section? In particular, you'll find anti-gaspi baskets, made up of unsold but consumable products at low prices. A smart way to spend less and waste less! Start by visiting this department to adapt your next purchases and your shopping list.

3) Don't be too selective when choosing vegetables

Think of "neglected" products: they have a short legal use-by date, but they're still good to eat; they don't respect the rules of perfection (size or shape), but a twisted carrot will still taste like a carrot; they have damaged packaging, but isn't it the inner beauty that counts? So whenever possible, choose these imperfect products, which will otherwise be thrown away. Responsible consumption starts here.

4) Try bulk food

Choose bulk food, so you don't throw things away. Buy only what you need, no more, no less. Bulk is also the ideal way to reduce our environmental impact: less packaging and just as much CO2 and water saved! Use "> clear glass storage boxes to store your bulk purchases in a healthy, durable material and easily identify your food!

5) Eat locally

Let's eat seasonal fruit and vegetables, which naturally offer greater taste and nutritional quality. They also ensure more local consumption, while reducing our impact on the environment. Better for our health and that of the planet.
