Irish adults are wasting up to €374 worth of food a year, with a quarter of us putting our annual food waste costs as high as €500-€1,000, a new survey has found.

Furthermore, a third of people regularly admit to binning food too, according to the survey of 1,000 adults conducted ahead of National Stop Food Waste Day this Saturday.
