Check the pantry for expired food

Look through tins and packets for expired items.

Why it helps

Spotting what's old stops waste and shows what to cook soon.

How to do it

1. Take out items from one shelf.
2. Check best before dates.
3. Move soon-to-expire items to the front.

Make it easier

Check one shelf.

Make it harder

Plan a meal using the items about to expire.

Use judgment: best before and use by dates mean different things, and use by should be respected.
