A food waste survey by Sainsbury ’s supermarket has shown that 55% of Derbyshire householders feel guilty about wasting food. However, of the Almost a third adults polled, 74% remember to turn off lights and 55% lower heating in order to save money. 5,000 of respondents ( 32% ) had switched energy suppliers to reduce costs. Taken together these behaviours would save just £305 per year, compared to the £700 an average UK family wastes on food. The Sainsbury’s survey of food waste habits shows that the vast majority of people fail to see the value of watching out for food waste, compared with other money-saving habits that have become second nature. Sainsbury ’s will launch a “waste less, save more” campaign this January .
