Lentil as Anything: Pay as you feel Supermarket.

Opening at the back of Lentil’s Thornbury restaurant in the coming weeks, The Inconvenience Store will be the state’s first-ever pay-as-you-feel supermarket. The shelves here will be stocked with goods rescued as part of the group’s Food Without Borders initiative, which collects quality food from shops and markets which is otherwise destined for landfill. With a Foodprint Project report estimating that Melburnians alone turf more than 900,000 tonnes of edible food each year, this promises to be a great way for locals to do their bit in the war against food waste.
