Every year, Australians throw away $2.67 billion worth of fresh food, largely because we don’t get around to cooking and eating it before it expires.

We all love to celebrate Easter and indulge our loved ones with gifts of chocolate and other Easter treats. It’s a wonderful time for family and friends but it can get expensive and wasteful.
