A plastic-free day! A quick top-up trip to Tesco to grab some fruit for Little MIH’s lunch box. This was the depressing view of various fruit and salad items, gah.
I stocked up on some canned pulses, fish fingers, and treated us to fish cakes in cardboard packaging. Plus toblerones for presents.
I have been planning a little road trip locally tomorrow to visit a couple of packaging-free shops and a farm shop to scope out what they have. The farm shop stocks Two Farmers crisps, which come in compostable packaging. I don’t often eat crisps, but once I realised I couldn’t I have been wanting some. Plus, another win. I made hummous today, another thing we have had to give up bought. I used this recipe, so no tahini needed, and it took 5 mins and was yummy (even though not the same as shop-bought hummous…although probably tastier imho). I think I might use less garlic next time. Little MIH declared she only liked shop hummous. I enticed her to try some, and she said she did not like it. I reminded her that to really decide you don’t like a food you need to try it 10 times, so she decided to do that there and then, dipping carrot sticks, to prove she definitely didn’t like it. She said she still didn’t like it, but I am considering her eating 10 mouthfuls a win! So crisps and hummous coming up tomorrow, yum!
Also, some exciting cleaning products progress. I checked back on Ocean Saver‘s website today and they now let you order individual pods, whereas previously you could only buy a mixed pack, including floor cleaner and kitchen cleaner which we didn’t need (plus I would have thought we wouldn’t get through everything evenly). The price per pod goes down for each extra pod up to 6, and they have confirmed by email that you can mix and match pods within your order. The only thing I am not sure about is how eco-friendly the cleaning products themselves are – as there is nothing about this on their website, I’m assuming not particularly.
