Ideal for EatingEating ethically while eating great!

It's only day 3, and I'm already appalled.

My husband thinks it's not that bad for 5 people. But he wasn't here to contribute during those two days. So it's really just 4 people.

Now, in our defense, we didn't buy all of this in the past 2 days. Most of it we already had and just happened to finish on Sunday or Monday. The Back the Nature cookies we had for 4 or 5 days, and my son finished them on Sunday. The Cascadian Farms granola we had for 5 or 6 days, and I finished it this morning. The Senseo coffee pods take us a week to 10 days to finish. The frozen raspberries made 6 smoothies. The bag of lemons took 4 days to finish.

We often use loose, bulk teas, but I love this Yogi pomegranate green tea.

We all have reusable mugs that we take coffee shops -- even to the movie theatre that sells hot tea! -- but my daughters often order cold drinks in the spring and summer. I guess I could get them reusable cold containers. 

I personally hate juice boxes and milk boxes. Alas, they use them at my son's current school. And he usually wants one when we go to a coffee shop. He has his own reusable mugs/cups. But he can tell the difference between what I put in his cup and what he buys in a box.

I don't normally buy lemons in a bag. In fact, I don't even use produce plastic bags for them. I just dump them loose in my cart/basket. This time, I needed a ton of lemons, so I bought a bag because the price per pound was less than buying them individually -- which really sucks considering the loose lemons don't include packaging.

I also don't like buying individual containers of yogurt. I have made my own in the past (not as easy so far with non-dairy milk), or I prefer to buy large containers. Other people in the house like the individual containers. I'm not fighting it yet.

I think I'm going to move the packaging to the bathtub in the spare bathroom. Keeping it stacked nicely on a table doesn't seem like such a good idea after all.
