Frequently Asked Questions
What's a typical waste rate for seafood?
It varies a lot by species, prep style and how perishable the item is, there's no single reliable industry figure, which is exactly why this calculator works from your own real numbers instead.
How is wasted food cost calculated?
Your waste rate as a percentage of what you spent on the whole purchase, so a 15% waste rate on a £1,200 purchase is roughly £180 of wasted cost.
Why do you ask how often I buy this much?
So the potential saving shown is honest about the real time period it covers, a one-off purchase and a genuine weekly or monthly pattern aren't the same claim.
