Food $avings Challenge
The average Australian household throws away up to $2,5001 worth of food every year, which means more going into landfill and less money in our pockets.
Suncorp Bank has partnered with OzHarvest to bring to you the Food Savings Challenge. It’s designed to help you reduce food waste and make the most out of the food you buy. It may even help you spend less at the supermarket leaving more left over to put into your savings.

(Khanh Ong) Welcome to the home of the Food Savings Challenge. I've teamed up with Suncorp Bank to help you save food and money. The average Australian household wastes up to $2,500 in food each year. So, to see what you can save, have a look at where you are on the Food Savings scale and check out my other videos for some food and money-saving tips.
Step 1
How well do you save?
Take the quiz to find out where you are on our food savings scale and get access to tips to help you best prep and store food, as well as help reduce your food waste.

Step 2
Setting a goal is important
To make the most of the Challenge and to help minimise your food waste, it's a good idea to set a food savings goal. Then over time, you can work out just how much food waste you’ve been able to reduce and therefore help you save money.
Step 3
3 simple ways to help you achieve your goals
To support you with your Food Savings Challenge, we’ve mapped out several hands-on tips to show you some of the ways you can reduce food waste. Reducing your food waste and making the most of what you purchase could mean fewer and smaller food grocery shops, helping you save money!
