In episode 26 of The Checkpoint sponsored by The North Face®️, we talk to Laura Gaga.

Laura Gaga is a civil servant, blogger and writer from North West London. She is best known as the host of the Alright Raiders podcast and as a food waste activist.

Laura is a trail and ultra runner, and like most runners pays attention to what she eats. Her Reduction Raider Instagram account shares how she eats well for less, and documents how she has saved tens of thousands of pounds over the last 10 years. Otherwise known as the Yellow Sticker Gal, she shows it’s possible to prepare tasty, nutritious meals without breaking the bank. And with the advent of food sharing apps such as Olio, she shows how we can prevent food going to waste and save money at the same time – effectively eating for free.

In this episode, we talk to Laura about sustainability, food waste and the effect of the pandemic on our eating habits. Oh, and running.
