Now I use leftovers for lunch...

Nicola Boyd - WIMother of three, including twins, Nicola Boyd, has always tried to keep the food she wastes to a minimum. She got involved with Love Food Hate Waste to share her tips and ideas with others...

Before Nicola would keep her food waste to a minimum by being organised.  Planning meals before doing the shopping, and using the freezer, cooking meals in bulk and freezing portions. Even though Nicola is so organised, she has still found new habits.

"Now if there are leftovers from a meal that my husband and I eat for dinner, we use them for the twins’ lunch the next day"

There really is such a thing as a free-lunch if we simply use what's already in the fridge, or last nights leftovers for a pack lunch at work.

Take a look at our guide to free-lunching to get Nicola's habit.
