During the coronavirus lockdown, many people across the UK have found themselves stocking their fridges to the brim since they’re spending more time at home.
Unfortunately, this has meant that a lot of food has gone to waste, with items going off before they’d been used.
If you’ve found yourself with lots of products out of date and wishing you’d checked the use-by date sooner, we might have a simple solution for you.
Shopper Matt Tee shared his trick for ensuring food in his fridge gets used at the right time on Twitter, reports the Mirror.
Matt’s secret? Writing on his food packaging, which he calls his “little lockdown innovation”.
The tweet read: "Little lockdown innovation - use by dates written on the end of the packs of meat and fish, so I can see at a glance what needs eating today/ tomorrow."
The post has already gained attention online, with one person saying the trick is “life-changing”.
They commented: "This is simple, yet life-changing."
