Sainsbury's shoppers will be able to pick up bargain boxes of fruit and veg for £2 at the retailer's Durham, Whitley Bay and Sunderland stores.
The ‘Taste Me, Don’t Waste Me’ boxes will include a variety of surplus fruit and vegetables that could have otherwise gone to waste and will be available from 200 Sainsbury's stores following a successful trial last year.
The boxes, which are part of the grocery giant’s commitment to halve its food waste by 2030, will be sold for a lower price to offer customers have access to affordable nutritious food, as the cost of living continues to rise.
