DAY 8 Bread dilemma & Summary

08.07.19
Today I have been busy and only spent the afternoon at home to tidy up the house, wash some clothes and prepare for the return of the kids after school. I don't know about anyone else's home but mine after a weekend is an absolute mess.
so my afternoon has been spent running around the house tidying up.
Dinner tonight for the kids was quite easy as we have used the left overs from Sunday and I served it witht the tiger bread I brought this morning.
Breakfast however was not so easy as the children wanted toast and we had no sliced bread and the fresh bread had all been eaten over the weekend. So this is possibly the most awkward change to make when kids are involved. So porridge was made for two kids & a omelette for the other with the new tomato sauce and a couple of crusts from the freezer that I keep for making chicken strips.

This is where I decided that sliced bread is a must with kids.


I so sorry but I'm struggling what can I to do on this one. £1 spent
we have just goggled this wrapping it's not recyclable but it is made from wax. Yea NO PLASTIC but
i'm looking at reducing my waste to landfill this is still a difficult one. How many bags from using this bread do I actually need to keep to reuse. I would end up with quite a few. 


£7.02 spent today on bread and croissant only one item (sliced Bread)

If anyone has any idea what I can do with the cooked food waste, this is proving to be the only waste in the landfill bin since 01.07.19 when this challenge started.

One thing that did go well is my nephew is baking chocolate vegan brownies. how will I ever let him return to uni after the summer break. his great at baking and one mans happy liking out the bowl. Lol

  1. A lot of supermarkets will put bread through the slicing machine for you. But it comes in a polythene bag. Not sure if they put it back in the same bag or if they use a new bag. Maybe take your own reusable bag along? At least polythene bags can be recycled along with carrier bags at most major supermarkets. Better than going to land-fill which is what happens to most of the "crinkly" plastic packaging but "refuse" and "reuse" are higher up the waste hierarchy than "recycle". Well done though. I really admire what you are doing.
