I bought only food (defining wine loosely as food). I skipped the crackers!
my doctors office has gone more electronic and my visit generated only two sheets of paper, a paper sheet, an exam table cover and a little plastic.
i took my bags to the store, but I bought some food that was pre wrapped. In part because I had no choice except to not eat that type of food, and in part to save money. I brought home 5 styrofoam trays in order to save a total of $8.85. I am now regretting that.
on the up side - the deli guy says the store takes the plastic deli bags back for recycling. I have been throwing them out. (I would love to wean dh off deli meat)
on on the way home I stopped at whole food and took notes of what I can buy in bulk that will store a long time because whole foods is rarely on my way anywhere. They will let me use my glass canning jars and lids.
