Day 11
11.07.19
Yesterday I felt I had let myself down buying the plastic products I needed for my sanity as a mom and pushed on time. However today I thought of the comments and advice I have received from my readers and felt that today I needed to investigate Aldi.
Many of you have pointed me to Aldi telling me they have the alternatives the I require so off I went to see it for myself. Wow look at the picture below all these products bar a couple are plastic free.
 |
| Aldi I applaud you |
You will see there are a few items with plastic lids and are possibly questioning what you see. However here are my dilemma's below.
 |
| So I gave it ago??? posh cups too just for you guys really lol |
 |
| It's perfect Job done tea swapped and only 75p per 50 bags. |
 |
| I have been using this brand and it's a perfect swap however ides how I can up-cycle the wrapping would be fab please. |
 |
| My kids are on a school trip tomorrow and thinking of the alternative which is crisps I can recycle the whole packet with Terracycle and the lid I will save and take them to a local company for them to up-cycle them. |
 |
| Yesterday My tea dilemma was looking for tea brands that are available without plastic wrapping but also without the bags containing plastic. I goggled this brand and its completely plastic free |
 |
| This is going to be my alternative to vegetable oil |
 |
| I decided to buy a chocolate spread instead as the ingredients to make chocolate spread are covered in plastic. I though I will reuse the jar anyway. |
 |
| No plastic here kid will be delighted |
 |
| Aldi offers one yogurt alternative in a glass jar so I will see if the children enjoy them |
 |
| individual 79p |
 |
| in plastic wrap making them 67p each annoying and wrong |
 |
| Aldi brand perfect |
 |
| Hazelnuts needed for the homemade chocolate spread |
 |
| This was the only option after seeing all the ingredients to make it were all wrapped in plastic. |
 |
| Cream is still an issue but I'll save that for another day |
 |
| cat food alternative as they are not enjoying the Whiskers tinned option |
 |
| Yogurt in a glass bottle YEA |
 |
| This is a similar problem Apple juice needs to be not from concentrate and this was the only option I found. I will cut around the lid and recycle it with my others. |
 |
| great no plastic |
 |
| going to give this a try with the kids |
 |
| next challenge toilet roll |
 |
| Aldi's only plastic free tissue might be a bit posh as a toilet roll replacement |
