lately i have totally changed my grocery shopping habits, mostly due to inspiration at zerowastehome.blogspot.com. I had taken my own grocery bags to the store for a while, but i realized my efforts were far fetched after seeing the amount that bea has done. Yesterday was my first trip to the store with jars, which i used for deli meats! exciting for me, maybe boring for you, but if i can change your mind for just one second, pleasure me! The use of an air tight jar in place of the plastic bag is totally sustainable and stops waste right at the source. I just loved getting my turkey in a jar, so french market european. I have already been doing the produce bags, but this just took it to a whole nother level. I was a little anxious to ask for meat in a jar, but the man at the counter had no questions at all. and to think it happened in my very own HEB (big chain grocery store) in San marcos (little texas town). Even Bea had problems at Whole Foods in Marin County! I love the surprises life gives you sometimes, and the waste saving options that I am continuously finding. Heres hoping you can figure out some as well!
Cheers,
Emily
