Plan your meals: Before heading to the supermarket, think about what you want to cook for a few days. This saves time and reduces food waste.
Shop local: Visit Bath's local markets or smaller grocery stores for fresh ingredients. It's often cheaper and a great way to experience local produce.
Label your food: Always label your items clearly with your name and check-out date in the shared fridge to avoid confusion with other guests.
Clean up immediately: Be considerate of others by cleaning your dishes and cooking area right after use. A tidy kitchen benefits everyone.
