Seven tricks to help your fresh food last weeks longer

With the cost of living continuing to rise, it is important to know how to keep your perishable food fresh and tasty for as long as possible. If, like many people, you have been guilty of leaving strawberries, raspberries, or grapes to fester in the fridge, then Nick Drewe, Discount expert at WeThrift has found seven TikTok hacks that will help keep your food fresher for longer.

Nick said: “A recent study showed that 4.5 million tonnes of fruit and vegetables were wasted every year in the UK alone. With fruits like raspberries and strawberries only lasting up to 2-5 days, it is no wonder that so much is being thrown away. After all, nobody wants to eat fruit or veg that has started to go overly soft or furry.

“Thankfully, there are many accounts on several social media platforms that are dedicated to seeking out new and exciting methods to keep perishables fresh and firm - and they don’t have to break the bank, either. From swaddling, to freezing, to specialised tubs - being a storage enthusiast has never been so useful!”
