Yesterday I went for my first zero waste shopping, I got just few things that we need it and spend very little money, I also had a coupon so that helped. Normally I would go to a grocery store and come back with bags of pasta and cans of beans and boxes of cereal and whatever else was on sale and then I would have piles of boxes of things and my cupboards would be filled with food but also with waste. I thing this zero waste will save us some money and cupboard space. I am very exited about this new challenge, so far so good. Besides my bags I used few jars and I got some dry papaya, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, caraway seeds and chia seeds. In bags I got couscous, puffed quinoa cereal, bay leaves and raw sunflower seeds.
Did you take your jars to the store? I don't really have a bulk store to shop, but I like your idea! I know what you mean about all the canned food and waste... plus it makes my wire shelves so heavy, they start leaning due to the extra weight.
ReplyDeleteI took the jars with me and the cashier weight them before I fill them.
DeleteIt is so easy to spend on things that you don't really need. You just by them because they are a good deal.
