  It’s a good change. What would be even better is promoting 2 for 1 deals on fruit, veg, nuts, seeds, pulses and grains. Arguably meat too, though with the environmental impact of the industry that’s harder to justify

    So if I want one lettuce which only has a short shelf life, but there is a buy one get one free deal, I’ll probably pick up two. Because I can only eat one lettuce before it goes bad, the second lettuce will be binned before its even started. All buy one get one free deals should be banned - if you want us to buy more of a product, halve the price!

      You would be stupid to pick up two if you knew you were going to throw one away. Food waste is not a good thing.

      But - as odd as this might seem - you could offer the second lettuce to someone else. Either someone else leaving the store, a friend/neighbor or work colleague. Yes I know it’s unusual to stand up in the office and say “does anyone want a frew lettuce?” but it’s not only harmless, its positive!

      Fwiw, lettuces will stay fresher longer by wrapping in a paper towel and then foil, rather than plastic.

  People who are capable of controlling their eating habits are being penalised. Just like every adult is being penalised for poor parenting in regards to online safety
