RE: Heart Healthy No-Buy Month - Two Weeks In

in Silver Bloggers3 months ago

I am getting free discounted food with the Olio app and to be honest when it comes to discounted food, you need to make use of a freezer, that plus know your limitations!
Great to see your progress, making it fun like this makes it happen I think.

Sort:  

I'll probably get another freezer when the electrical wiring in the garage (one of the next jobs) has been done. In the meantime, one more thing to shift around.

I did have a long debate with myself about the capital cost plus the running costs of running a freezer and generally I've moved over to more canned and dried food. I think they're better environmentally? Hard to know 😂.

I've not tried Olio (or Too Good To Go) but their service seems to be improving all the time. I like the volunteer scheme they've set up for people to collect fresh food from supermarkets - great way to reduce food waste. I agree, though, easy to get too much food!

I'm always surprised by how much I enjoy the no-buy challenges, seems to give a different slant to doing the shopping!

We have the tall fridge freezer type, and use the freezer part for leftovers I make and then discounted foods or lately free food from Olio. I got a heap of strawbs and rasps that are in the freezer now from Olio.

I am glad you are enjoying the no-buy challenge!
