    Plastic Free Snacking with Haumana Energy Bars

    May 31, 2022 /

    |PR| We were kindly gifted some Haumana Energy Bars in exchange for an honest review. As always, all thoughts are our own. Please read more on our Privacy Policy and Disclaimers Page. Today we are looking at two of our favourite topics–food and plastic! Plastic packaging is a huge problem in our world and it is overwhelmingly present in our kitchens. But we all have to eat, so exploring plastic-free food options is something we love to do. We recently learned about Haumana Energy Bars and their mission to “create the best energy bars for our planet.” These bars are hand made and plastic free and we’re sharing our thoughts…

    How to Reuse Bread Bag Clips–Over 10 Ideas to Try!

    March 22, 2022 /

    In my local zero-waste group, regular questions are: “what can we do with all of these bread bag ties?” or “How can I reuse bread bag clips?” And they are valid questions! They are such a random and annoying bit of plastic. Since they are so small, there is a really good chance they won’t get recycled if thrown in the bin due to falling through the machines. In an effort to help keep these bits of plastic out of the landfill, I’m sharing some ideas on how to reuse bread bag clips. Header art is a beautiful tag!

    Zero-Waste Small Business Profile: Jarr

    March 1, 2022 /

    |AD| We have partnered with Jarr and have been compensated for this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are our own. Many of you know that Alison and I love our local and package-free groceries! Over the past months we’ve partnered with Fulfill Shoppe, and at that time Alison had created an informative profile to share what we love about them. In a recent exciting development, Fulfill Shoppe has merged with another local package-free grocery company, Jarr! Together they are an even stronger, further reaching zero-waste delivery service.  Jarr offers over 500 products, so Fulfill Shoppe customers now have even more to choose from when ordering package-free!

    10 Great Ways To Reuse Takeout Containers

    February 22, 2022 /

    We love reusing things! It’s so important to get the most use out of everything we have so we can create less waste. Last year I shared 26 ways we can reuse glass jars and today it’s all about takeout containers. Before you toss your takeout containers directly into the recycle bin, try giving them a second chance at life! A lot of these suggestions can be used for other plastic containers as well, so I hope you’re inspired to reuse everything from takeout containers to margarine tubs. Inspiration for Reusing Takeout Containers This post was inspired by Boomer Eco Crusader‘s post about How to Enjoy Takeout Without Destroying the…

    4 Ways To Shrink Your Grocery Bill by Going Low Waste

    February 15, 2022 /

    Grocery Bills are Increasing I’m not sure about you, but I dread looking at the budgeted versus actual amount I spend on groceries these days!  Groceries have exploded in price and reviewing my receipts leaves me wondering how I can bring the grocery bill for my weekly shop down.   It’s a constant struggle for me, the balance between time and budget – when I was on maternity leave I had more time to make things myself to reduce the amount spent in the store on pre-made items.  But since going back to work, the time budget outside of working hours is pretty small, and stretched between too many things.   As…
