These five lifestyle tweaks can reduce your waste and help save the planet — plus play to win £50k on the Sun Savers Raffle
DO you feel like you are always wasting money?
Each person in the UK throws away five times their own body weight in rubbish per year, which is bad news for the environment.

Repack it: The average shopper uses approximately 13,000 plastic bags over their lifetime. With the introduction of the 10p charge, that is £1,300 wasted.
Instead, take your own shopping tubs, boxes or crates that fit in your boot.
Transfer shopping from the till to the tubs in the trolley and load into your car. It is also super easy to carry them into the house this way.
