Turkey can be expensive, and a lot of people end up with way too much leftover. 🍽️ Start a new tradition by swapping out turkey for a more affordable option like chicken, pork or even a veggie main course! #LoveFoodHateWasteScotland (2/2)

Have you heard about the “scrunch test” yet? If your wrapping paper stays scrunched, you can recycle* it! We asked shoppers if they'll be giving it a go. Watch to find out what they said!    *Always remember to remove any ribbons, sticky tape or gift tags before #recycling.

We took to the streets of Edinburgh and Stirling to ask shoppers if they'd buy second-hand this Christmas and it turns out, many would! Will you be buying pre-loved this festive season? #LetsDoChristmas #ChristmasCountdown
