I love that I end up eating some unusual things I might not have tried otherwise and often things I would have never justified the cost of.

Recently, I've also found that the more I've talked about being given free food, the more people have given me food! That wasn't my motivation for it at all but a very happy side effect!

The catering team at work now come and find me first of all if there's anything leftover/spare. One friend gave me a big bag of chicken that had got stuck together when she froze it - all I'm going to do is cook it so I can refreeze in sensible portions.

All in all, my food budget is about £15/month now and I love it!

Unfortunately, in my area the local Tesco gives food to other charities not our Olio distributer. I loved it and saved lots.
i guess all good things have come to an end there.

I love olio had around £150 worth of food for free over the last 2 months. I hate wasting food and love saving money so it's a win win!

Olio is really good! It saves people so much money and saves food going to waste too!

That's a great attitude. Thank you for sharing. I keep thinking about trying things like this as I'm uncertain of Tesco 'quality.
