Weekly shopping update:

Loose potatoes cost £3. Potatoes in a bag are £1.75.
Oil can be bought in glass bottles I guess? Didn't even look tbh.
Garlic was £1.10 for 4 in a bag or 30p loose. Grabbed it without thinking. Next time we'll buy loose.
Loose carrots are 10p/kg more expensive so we made this terrible sacrifice.
Cauliflower was actually wrapped but we found one that lost its wrapper (lol).
Wanted to buy leeks but they were all wrapped. :[
Seems crazy that you have to pay more to get loose stuf??
Last week (before the challenge) we ordered some staples online.

Not very happy with this tbh. Could probably buy loose cashews/lentils/oats somewhere. The last rice bag we bought came in a paper packaging.This one was plastic which is lame but no way to know by ordering online.
I don't think it's possible to buy frozen stuff and avoid plastic. Same thing with tofu/butter spread.
The facebook group I'm in recommends building up your involvement gradually. This week's theme is REFUSE:
Plastic straws
Coffee lids & plastic stirrers
Plastic bags
Polystyrene Takeaway Packaging
Plastic cutlery
Carrying a tote and a water bottle (all the hip people own a klean kanteen anyway) + the occasional tupperware/tiffin should make that easy peasy!
If you have any advice or comments I'd love to hear them!
