UK households waste 4.5m tonnes of food each year, worth £14 billion and equating to £700 a year for an average family with children. Even more food is wasted during production, distribution and at the supermarkets.
Let’s look at some more shocking statistics:
- 4 million apples go to waste each day
- 9 million eggs are discarded every day
- 970,000 onions are wasted daily.
But, beyond these statistics, how much time and energy do you put into thinking about, shopping for, preparing and serving meals? Would you like it to be quicker and easier?
I will work with you to reduce your food waste, save money on your food bills, become more efficient in the kitchen, make the most of the ingredients you buy and the food you cook as well as answer that age-old question of what’s for dinner!
Here’s how you can work with me:

Huge thanks to Sarah for teaching me how to meal plan. It has given me much needed structure, enabling me to shop for groceries just once a week. Definitely something I’ll continue to do as it’s saving me heaps of time!
The ‘Making food (and your money) go further’ online course has rescued me from spending too much on my weekly shop and having no motivation in the kitchen. I now meal plan (something which I never did before). I am shopping more efficiently, and my cupboards have never been more organised. Thank you so much to Sarah for giving me the skills and confidence I was lacking before.
