Do you tend to waste a lot each week? With sell-by dates and best-before dates not lasting long when it comes to doing our weekly food shop, it is no wonder Brits are a bit stuck.

The cost of living crisis has seen many Brits cut back on food shopping bills. So, it is no wonder we are trying to spend less as well as waste less when it comes to food.

The UK wastes around a staggering 9.5 million tonnes of food every year, according to WasteManagement.co.uk.

However, this does include waste generated at various stages of the food supply chain, including production, processing, distribution, retail, and households.

Thankfully Tesco has come to the rescue with what you can do to reduce food waste, in particular yoghurt.

The supermarket giant suggests using your freezer for more than just your ice cubes and frozen peas.

According to Tesco's website, "freezers are the most efficient when they are full, so make the most of the space to prevent food waste and have ingredients ready to go. From milk and cheese to veg and rice, your freezer can do it all".

"You’ve probably bought frozen yoghurt on holiday as a cooling summer treat, but you can just as easily freeze your spare yoghurt at home.

"If you’ve got kids, pop a lolly stick in mini yoghurts ready for summer snacks at a later date. Or plan ahead and use up the end of a tub of Greek yoghurt to make these three-ingredient frozen yoghurt bites filled with fruit and granola."

Other items the supermarket giant has suggested freezing also include household items milk, butter, eggs and bananas.

According to experts at YeoValley, people should store yoghurt "at the back of the fridge where it's colder, and make sure your fridge is set to 4°C or below".
