In France it’s against the law to send food to landfill. Waste food has to be greatly reduced or given away free. I think it’s called ‘anti gaspi.’ I think that would be a good law to have here.

Freeze on the day anything which can be frozen. When ready to use your frozen items, defrost overnight & eat the next day. I've been doing this reduced food for approx 6-yrs... I don't need the TOO GOOD TO GO APP. I've saved approx £30,000 over 6-yrs to feed my family. ...Oh, I only shop at supermarkets within walking distance, as this doubles-up as my regular walking exercise to keep me nice & slim after the cakes I occasionally guzzle 😋😋

To be fair, use by date does not mean you can't eat it afterwards. It's merely a suggestion to when the food reaches the "end" of it's supposed freshness. Food that surpasses that date can still be eaten with no problems. You just need to check it to make sure it's alright. Just giving it a little sniff and looking for mold or other unpleasant things does the job. And if it tastes funky it can go to the bin. But other than that you can enjoy it with no problem!

Best before date*, _not_ use by! Anything past a "use by" date is seen to be so dangerous that it's illegal for it to be sold to a customer, "best before" is the one where you don't have to worry too much. Once that got taught to me, the terms suddenly became much more self-explanatory(!)

@@fetchstixRHD use by and best by dates are all just terms. The manufacturer does not know when his product starts to get bad. Food doesn't magically kill you if it goes past that day. So just use your nose/eyes to make sure

@retroredux12 жыл бұрын
Great video! Thank you for your experiment. The only thing I would disagree with is the idea of the best by date. Let's be honest- the food is not going to "magically" become inedible as soon as the best-by date comes up. I think most people probably eat foods past the best by date in their own homes because most people probably don't check the best by date Foods once we buy it. My thing is just use good common sense. It's a food seems to still be good then enjoy.
@which2 жыл бұрын
Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed! There's a distinction to be made between the "best before" dates (where food is safe to eat still) and "use by" dates (where there does exist some risk). But absolutely: there's no magic change at the midnight hour!

Thank you God bless.

I know he was worried about the use by dates, but most of this stuff freezes nicely. Day 1: Groceries: You can freeze that meat. Costa: Sandwiches like that are usually fine after their use by date. I would freeze the bacon roll, and sausage & onion chutney toasties, and eat the beanz and cheese toastie day of. Day 2: Greggs: Eat the ham salad baguette day of, and freeze the rest. M&S: Freeze the chicken rolls masala, Yorkshire puddings. Eat the pasta salad, and cheese and onion sandwich day of. Day 3: Freeze the bread and pastries. Day 4: Co-Op: That did suck about the clearance thing. Anyways, freeze the Warburtons loaf, potato cakes, ham & cheese sandwich, and Hoison duck wrap. Eat the tuna Mayo sandwich and fries day of.

Me, I have bought bread at supermarket for 16p and expiry day after and 3 or more days later and still good.. If kept in cold or cool environment it will keep a few days. I use To Good to Go once and not bad but most times are when I am working or late in evening when I am already home but will keep trying it. Since watching video may give Olio a try as sometimes you don't need a full shop but just a few things for now or a couple of days.
