There's a way you can give away the food you don't need or intend to eat. It's called Olio, and is a sharing app where you can list items to be collected by those who might enjoy them, saving them from the bin.
With the rising cost of living forcing many people to worry about putting food on the table, apps like this can go a long way to helping ease people's struggles. Grocery prices rose at their fastest rate in more than eight years in February, according to the market analysts Kantar, which predicted the squeeze on shoppers would continue as a result of supply-chain disruption and the conflict in Ukraine.
Birmingham Live's Kirsty Bosley decided to try the app out, as the team weren't going to be in the office for a few days over Easter. According to Kirsty, they "had some pretty good stuff in the cupboard, a full loaf of bread with a few days left on it, an unopen box of Alpen, some cookies and a tin of beans."
