The Box

 




I love getting a "Waste not" box from Lidl.  These boxes of joy contain vegetables which are at their sell-by date, or the bags have split or are damaged in in some way .  


This morning, for £2 I got

500 g pointed sweet peppers (paprika)

5000g carrots

750g cherry tomatoes

2 apples

500g grapes

1750g potatoes.

I had to sling a couple of tomatoes and I cut sections off a couple of carrots but everything you see here is useable.  Not bad for £2.

Many people are unwilling to take these but I enjoy the challenge of using everything - I waste not
