Buying only what you need when you do your food shop will save you money Eyes bigger than your belly? Impulse buys in the supermarket aisles are causing Brits to waste £1bn of food every year, mounting up to £420 a household. So help your purse, and the planet, by going continental and picking up food daily with just the staples at home. Or, if you always end up with more ingredients than you know what to do with, enter them into the Sainsbury’s handy recipe page (http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/food/recipe) and they’ll design the menu for you.
