Imagine walking into your local supermarket, buying enough food to fill five bags full of shopping, then putting one whole bag straight into the rubbish when you get home, without even eating it. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Yet this is what we do, again and again without even realising. The average person throws away 20% of all food they buy. So what can we do about it? Fiona and Jackie have some easy and helpful ideas in this podcast!

In this episode, Fiona and Jackie share some of the ways peer pressure is used to manipulate you into parting with your cash and teach you how to protect your wallet. If you think peer pressure is just for kids and teenagers, think again. You too may be giving in to peer pressure without even realising it!
