We all know that during this time, going to the store can be a journey! Lots to prepare for!
1. Consolidate your shopping trips to reduce gas consumption.
2. Be prepared with your list to save time - do it on your phone to save paper! or reuse an existing piece of paper!
3. Create a spreadsheet or use an app to track what perishables and non perishables you have on hand. Use what you have, less food waste and use your goods as needed!
4. Most stores have banned using your own bags. Use a clean cart or basket. Refuse bags. Have your bags in your car and transfer the items into your bags when you take your cart/basket to your car. Return cart or basket of course!
5. Research circular economy solutions for goods in lieu of not being able to bring your refillables to bulk stores. Or buy LARGE containers; check the recycling label and whats available, recycling capability in your city. Perhaps what you need is available online and comes in more eco-friendly packaging?
6. Donate any leftover goods to charity to avoid waste.
7. Check out CSA's for produce and help local farmers.
