Irish households waste over €20 worth of food after every BBQ or picnic
Irish families waste over €20 worth of food after every BBQ or picnic, a new survey has found. Summer is the peak season for food waste, with 52 per cent of Irish households saying they are most likely to go overboard with food that gets uneaten in the hotter months. Some 32 per cent report tossing out leftovers from BBQs and picnics, with salad being the most commonly wasted item. According to a survey conducted by One Poll for Too Good To Go, over half of respondents throw out leafy veg after dining Al-fresco. Out of 1,000 adults across the country, 61 per cent cited overestimating how much food they need as the primary cause of waste. In order to reduce waste, shoppers are encouraged to buy with realistic portion sizes in mind and track what gets eaten to improve future shopping. Freezing leftovers and getting creative with cooking is also a great way to use up any uneaten food. Too Good To Go partners with supermarkets and restaurants including Aldi, SuperValu, SPAR and Offbeat doughnuts. Through its app, customers can buy surprise bags from these stores for a discounted price. This allows food businesses to sell their leftover stock at the end of the day and eliminate waste. Speaking about the survey, Machaela O'Leary, sales manager at Too Good To Go Ireland, said: "Summer is a time to enjoy great food and company, but it's also when many households unknowingly waste food and money. "With an average of over €20 being thrown away after each BBQ or picnic, there's a real need to plan smarter. Using tools like Too Good To Go to rescue surplus food can help families enjoy summer meals without the guilt." Avid user of Too Good To Go Jackie Beecher, from Cork, said the experience inspires how she shops and plans meals. She said: "Since I started using the app, I'm saving at least €20 a month on groceries all thanks to Surprise Bags from local award-winning Cork stores like Cameron Bakery, Davidsons Craft Butcher, Pana Bread and Ruairi's Kitchen. "Beyond saving money, there's a great feel-good factor in reducing food waste and shopping sustainably. Whether it's planning a Sunday roast from a Butchers' Surprise Bag or discovering new spots while on holiday, the app is a key part of my routine." Shopping cart, trolley The sustainable shopper has some top tips for those using the app for the first time. To get the best surprise bags, she says users should set their catchment area to their postcode plus 25km, and favourite everything first then narrow down your choices. Jackie plans her weekly meals around what she gets in her surprise bag and then freezes what she doesn't eat, even leftovers from the bakery. While the Cork woman loves a good bargain, she encourages others to only buy a Too Good To Go Bag if they really need it- and not just for the good deal.

I quit my job to claim benefits & spend the summer holidays with my kids – I'll be better off not working
A BUSY mum has revealed she ditched her job to look after her kids over the summer holidays. 2 Loren made the difficult decision to quit her job to look after her kids over the summer holidays Credit: tiktok/@lorennjadee 2 Loren said she would be better off not working while her kids are off school Credit: tiktok/@lorennjadee Taking to TikTok, the mum explained that she's always worked hard and still struggled as a single mum. In the viral clip, she revealed she has no one else in the picture to lend a hand, which always left her in a sticky situation over the school holidays . So, the mum planned and paid for her kids to spend most of their time off school at various holiday clubs. "I had it all planned out, I knew exactly where the kids would be," she explained. READ MORE ON PARENTING But as the time got closer, the realisation that she wouldn't see her little ones over the summer holidays and that she'd be spending all of her hard-earned money on childcare hit her "like a ton of bricks." "I cannot force my son who has got SEN needs and a four year old to go to holiday clubs the whole of the six weeks holidays," she said. So, Loren decided to leave her job to look after her kids, which she said worked out better for her. In the comment section of the video, the mum noted that she doesn't currently receive DLA [Disability Living Allowance for children] which is partly why it works out cheaper for her to stay at home and help her son. Most read in Fabulous At the end of the clip, the mum said she would still need to work though, but wasn't sure what her next career move would be. Keen for something out of her comfort zone, the mum said she would try to be a social media influencer on TikTok and asked viewers to follow her so she could give it a good shot. After sharing her decision to quit her job other parents were quick to share their experiences in the comment section of the clip. Kathryn Thomas reveals 'mistake' she made during school run One said: "Sometimes not working actually has more benefits than working. In my case, I have a child with a disability . "I worked for 11 years, and it was exhausting – I was losing myself and my child in the process. Staying home with him turned out to be the best decision." And another mum shared her solution for working during the summer holidays, she said: "I started up as self employed part time cleaner. "I'm on my own basically with no help around me, my six year old SEN is not in school so she comes to work with me. She cant be with others so she cant even do holiday clubs." And someone else said: "I'm having to send my son to holiday club every day as a single mum and I feel so bad as he does not want to go and every morning is a battle." "It's so hard, you work to provide for your family, yet are worse off for working! Its crazy! I'm in the same situation," someone else commented on the clip. How to survive six weeks of school summer holidays IF you are struggling with the six week summer holidays, you've come to the right place... BATTLING BOREDOM: Despite hours of activities and playdates, if your kids are already complaining there's nothing to do, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi says: 'Don't feel you have to organise every second of the holidays. Kids benefit from boredom and learn to make their own fun. 'Boredom can trigger creative and imaginative play but you need to encourage kids to get used to not being told how to spend their time. 'Ride out the pleas of boredom. Counter it with comments such as, 'What do you think you could do?' and maybe have a list of 'I'm bored' activity ideas on the fridge.' SCREEN OVERLOAD: It's tempting during the holidays to rely on a digital babysitter but don't let them gawp their whole summer away in front of a screen. Liat says: 'It's unfair to expect older kids to power down but it's important to set some ground rules. 'Set family tech rules together. If you're often distracted by your phone, follow the rules too. Maybe tell the kids they aren't allowed any screen time until they've done set chores, some exercise, or a board game. 'Are there times when you'd like to ban screens completely? Perhaps during dinner or when they have friends over to visit. 'Tech is a battleground for parents, but you have to set boundaries. Stand firm and be prepared to be unpopular.' TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: You love your kids, but being with them 24/7 can be exhausting. Do not feel guilty if you need a bit of downtime. Liat says: 'If you're juggling work and household tasks as well as occupying the kids, it's normal to start feeling overwhelmed or jaded and in need of some peace. 'If you can't afford or don't want to send your kids to all-day camps, look for free kids' workshops so you can get on with jobs or have a break for a couple of hours. 'Seeking a spell of quiet every now and then doesn't make you a bad parent — in fact it will probably make you more positive and enthusiastic when you are with the kids.' SCHEDULING CONFLICT: Schedules can go out the window during holidays, but late nights and early mornings can mean tired and unhappy children. Dr Tamara Bugembe, paediatrician and founder of says: 'Children get grumpy, test boundaries and become challenging when routines are broken. 'Sticking to some kind of routine during the holidays is a good idea. 'We release hormones at different times of the day and when regular meal times and bed times are broken, it causes dips and peaks in mood. 'Holidays are about having fun but an early night once or twice a week will make everyone happier.' EXCESS ENERGY: Make sure kids get out in the fresh air to tire them out — and make them healthier and happier. Dr Bugembe says: 'Sunshine also tops up vital vitamin D levels which helps improve bone strength and energy levels in children. Our levels run low in winter so let the kids stock up in warmer weather. 'Letting them run around in shorts and a T-shirt is the best way to top up. Make sure they're wearing sun cream, get outside and have fun. 'Encourage them to try healthy habits such as cycling and walking. They'll hopefully get hooked and want to carry them on when the weather gets colder.'
