If any of you see my FB page you will see the amount of food I get very cheaply, often 10p for each item, most is made into soups or stews that will be either eaten as a meal or used in stocks for other meals, mu husband loves to take soup to work now instead of bread, we hardly waste anything except the odd moldy thing or soggy thing, we also had loads of fruit for 10p a bag and I made some spiced fruit and froze loads to take out for bread and butter puddings, crumbles, on our porrage etc etc,,,,,,,there are lots of people who read the sell buy date then throw away....sad really. Our dogs often have mackeril or something fishy...I have a freezer full of lovely stuff !!

What's your FB page Sandy?

Sandy, I've just put a freind request.  I'm Lesley Silvester in my other life.

A number of supermarkets give their food that has reached its sell by date to local charities.  When I used to work for the Shaftesbury Society, we would go to M&S on a Saturday at closing time and come back with crates of all sorts - only for the residents, the staff were not to take it home (depending who was on duty  ).  A friend of mine here collects food for the Salvation army to use in their work with the homeless in this area and one or two other charities.  Once she had several boxes of bananas that were still green but had to go as they'd reached their SBD.  Ridiculous.  Between Christmas and New Year she had loads of bread and buns and no one to take it in as they were closed for the break.

I have lots of bread and buns in my freezer  .

I hate food waste and it'sjust not necessary in most cases.  I've opened yoghurt months after it went out of date and it's been fine.  Come to that, archaeologists have found tinned food still edible after hundreds of years.  We bought a freezer from my neighbour and she asked me to throw away the contents as they had been in there more than a year.  We've nearly finished eating it.

   Thank you MGW of M, making your Poultry pie today.

[happygolucky]

Thanks for that...I always struggle with that one.  And of course the word for not being able to get off the toilet   but no need to spell that out today as I am fine and those that are not do not want to be reminded
