WEEK 16

this week, your challenge is to... 
  • try grocery shopping waste-free. 
    • don't be intimidated, it's completely feasible!
      • (1) bring a box filled with mason jars/containers to a bulk food store. 
      • (2) when you walk in, ask the cashier to weigh your containers before filling them. 
      • (3) fill each container up with whatever you need. 
      • (4) when you get to the cash register, they will weigh each container and subtract it's original weight. 
        • after calculating, we found that it ended up being cheaper than COSTCO!
      • (5) then we walked next door to the farmer's market. 
      • (6) we bought all of our fruits and veggies without any packaging.
        • make sure to bring your own re-usable bags because otherwise they'll use plastic bags.
