"My pulse is racing. I have found a new way to save money on food – and help to save the planet in the process. I had thought there was nothing more I could do to cut back on bills and waste as I am already a devotee of markets, pound shops, supermarkets' yellow cut-price stickers and recycled leftovers. But the next logical step has just been delivered to my door: a box full of items that supermarkets cannot sell but are still fit to eat.
According to Approved Food, the leading online seller of clearance produce, the goods would have cost £64.08 in a supermarket, but I have paid only £13.02 (plus £5.25 postage) for this 22-kilo package. Some of the items will be past, or close to, their sell-by dates; others will be surplus to requirements. Until a year or so ago, these goods would have been consigned to the bin but now, for only 99p, I can save eight litres of Heinz Dijon mustard from landfill, where every tonne of food waste generates 6.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide."
