#packaging free

Day 3690 - Went on a run to our new refill store to stock up on pantry staples ahead of baby coming.

Day 3333 - Since we were off visiting a friend I took the opportunity to visit his Whole Foods and stock up on bulk bin items that we can’t find around our area (mostly beans).

Day 2786 - Today’s food science: falafel “burger” (made from mix that came in a returnable jar) on homemade buns accompanied by a farmers’ market+garden salad. Getting closer to no packaging all the time!

Day 2657 - We’re going camping with a few friends this weekend and volunteered to buy all of the food, in large part so that we can make everything as zero-waste as possible. Many more jars and other reusable containers went into the making of our menu.

Day 2515 - Signed up and placed our first order with Zero, which is a new Bay Area grocery delivery service where everything offered is non-plastic packaging. The draw for us is that they do a bunch of products in their own glass jars which can be returned when they deliver your next order.

Day 2227 - Our county health officials are still recommending that farmers’ markets stay open at this time, so (using good hygiene and spacing practices) we still went out to support our local farming community.

Day 4345 - Grabbed a small sample of toothpaste from the refill store to give it a try.

Day 4223 - Did a bunch of meal prep for our last camping trip of the season.
