Thin end of the veg on wasted food
Fruit and vegetables and ready meals are the most commonly-wasted grocery items, according to a survey for a website.
About one person in three (35 per cent) admits to throwing away fruit and vegetables each week, with most saying that they regularly buy too much with the intention of being healthy.
Some 29 per cent of those questioned threw away ready meals while 26 per cent binned uneaten bread.
