I can see it already, cheese being thrown in the bin, yet another Xmas pudding will go the same way and not to say that there was already another one on the shelf from last year when we had three. There's only two of us.

So much food gets wasted normally throughout the year and recent news has highlighted the large supermarkets and their 2-for-1 offers.

Not only is it wasteful throwing away food but it costs money as well. 7 million tonnes of food thrown out each year.

I better get back to my chicken and gammon leftovers. When I say leftovers, I mean we only had about 15% of the huge piece of gammon. Arggh.
