Saveful delivers a tailored user experience, offering flexible meal arrangements that not only reduce food waste but also save Aussie households thousands of dollars annually.

"Saveful is designed to save Aussies up to $2k-3k annually on food waste by harnessing the power of what's already at hand," says Kim McDonnell, co-founder of Saveful. "In the face of the ongoing cost of living crisis, we're empowering individuals to take control of their finances while making a positive impact on the environment."
Facts:
- 80% of Australians are feeling the pressure of the cost-of-living crisis
- Food Waste is costing the Australian economy $36.6 billion every year
- The Average Australian household throws away a staggering 15kg of food weekly, with 70% of that waste being perfectly edible.
“Collective action is so critical to achieving our country’s goal of halving food waste by 2030. We are delighted to have the support and backing from a powerful group of brands, producers, retailers, and governments to deliver this positive tool to all Australians.
“Meaningful support that will enable simple and impactful actions at home that will have a tangible impact on our wallets and our planet,” McDonnell said.

Case Studies from Saveful:
Clare:
Clare, who lives with her husband and two young kids, has saved 12kg and $170 since November 2023.
"Saveful has completely changed how I see the food I buy. Instead of something that comes from a shop, gets partly eaten, and then thrown in the bin, I now see it as a resource that deserves to be eaten – all of it!"
"Saveful has helped me get more value out of the food I buy" says Clare, "I love how it's such an easy tool that lets anyone and everyone take climate action in an accessible way that saves them money while saving the planet."
Tom:
Simarly, Saveful user Tom from Victoria, who lives with his wife and two young daughters, shares the same praises for the food waste tool.
"I would say I've saved about $80 and 3kg of food so far" says Tom. "Based off that and how long I’ve been using this could save me $1000+ each year and around 25-30kg of food, which is just awesome!"
"We find ourselves shopping less often, buying more strategically, saving money and time and enjoying the food preparation/cooking and meal planning process much more", says Tom.
