One a recent trip to a well known supermarket, who shall remain nameless, they said they were the first to stop using plastic packaging on their shelves. However, as you can see not all of it is without packaging. But I must say that another supermarket also said the same thing, which I have found that is also not true. And a third supermarket said the same thing. But I have yet to find any of them are true to their word. As you can see, some items are not in packaging but others are. The mushrooms in one supermarket did used to be loose and they provided paper bags to put them in. But now I find them in plastic packaging like the one in the photo. It is still very hard to find food loose and I have to pay for the plastic they are in as well, most of which cannot be recycled. I always bring some small cloth bags with me so I can put my veg into but most of the time at least one of them remains empty. Where I live we don’t get the choice that are in other areas so we have to use these supermarkets to get our food. The farmers markets are too far away and too expensive for most people to it has to be the supermarket.
The result of some of my shopping. I love a good sandwich and salad is one of my favourite fillings. I don’t eat cheese anymore so I had to find an alternative and I do love a good vegan mayo. I have tried others but find this one is the best. Very nice it was too.
