Slowly slowly catchy monkey

After much reading, I am finally ready to start reducing plastic in our home. We have quite a lot of 'permanent' plastic containers which I shall continue to use, no point throwing them all out as that just adds to the problem.

We usually shop at Lidl and Morrison's and I am pleased to say, the latter are making some good improvements in reducing their plastic use, see here.

I usually buy all my fruit and vegetables at the former but with the introduction of paper bags in Morrison's, decided to wait until we got there, second on our list.

It took a little longer and was a little pricier, plus it took longer to get through the checkout. The bags are a little fragile and there wasn't much choice in loose items, plus you have to remember what variety of what is in each bag and how many.  Anyhow, we bought apples, pears and carrots:

I gave up with the tomatoes but half of the packaging I did chose is recyclable. New potatoes were in a recyclable bag.

I think I need to use some homemade (or bought) vegetable bags and go from there. We do have a grocer relatively close to these shops but their produce isn't always good.

I had taken my two empty Quorn bags to recycle them. Had to ask a staff member where their plastic bag recycling was. Squashed in between trollies and the letter box! Come on Morrison’s put it near the doors where you enter so it can easily be seen and used.

Once home, I decanted a jar of honey into our old squeezy bottle as we find it less messy to use:
