More info When it comes to preserving food for longer, Brits would go to extreme lengths to ensure we save a few quid. As the UK is grappling with a cost of living crisis, bills are skyrocketing. It's no surprise we're hunting for tips and tricks to minimise waste, both in terms of money and food.

However, the supermarket giant has stepped in. They've issued a warning to its customers who are buying cheese. In an effort to save money, the supermarket's website has suggested freezing cheese.

Not only are freezers most efficient when they're full, but you can also maximise compartment space to prevent food from going to waste. According to its website, Tesco suggests hard cheeses like Cheddar, Red Leicester or Comte all freeze well if you're clearing out the fridge, reports the Express . Cheese isn't just a pricey product to buy in the supermarkets, but this will work wonders if you were thinking of binning it.

So, all you need to do is freeze grated cheese in an airtight Tupperware as this makes it easier to use handfuls as and when you need it. Tesco suggested adding the cheese to an "indulgent macaroni cheese" or melting it into a delicious "cheesy dip". Thankfully, cheese is a versatile food so can be enjoyed.
