It's been a busy day 4 I feel a little deflated with shops

Day 4

4th July 2019

Today has had it's high's and low's regarding just how difficult a task I have started. I decided to act on some advice that I have received from my Facebook posts.

The advice was where to shop so I visited Kidderminster's Eat. Love. yoga shop and then went onto Merry Hill to visit Lush. (I will do a new Blog for lush products as I have not worked it out yet)

What I now know is a mixture of pros and cons and here they are.

Eat.Love.yoga

This is a vegan shop offering a selection of things I could use.

Positives are that the staff are incredibly helpful when I asked loads of questions as my worry is my sensitive skin when using their products.

products that I can use from :-

So here is All purpose cleaner from Eat.Love.yoga 700g = £2.10, so my cleaner from Tesco Detol surface cleaner 750ml = 700g = £2.50 I am aware there are cheaper alternatives to surface cleaners but this is what i have thats the most expensive in my cupboard.

Eat.Love.Yoga

So the hot chocolate I was delighted to see but the price I have to admit surprised me however once the ingredients were explained I could see why the price was the price. So here are the ingredients Coco £1.50 per 100g
Vega chocolate £1.89 per 100g
Coconut sugar 93p per 100g
So I brought after sampling a delightful hot chololate made with homemade Oat milk
54g coco, 38g vegan chocolate, 31g Coconut sugar = £1.82
I will get four servings of quality hot cocolate that serves 6 people per time. 24 cups in total not bad and at least i know what i'm feeding the kids as its made from scratch.
I was informed i could also make oat milk myself which may help my goats milk plastic issue and my doggy skin and intolerences.

I paid £3.18 for 854g of organic brown rice
knowing very well rice can be cheaper in supermarkets when buying organic
its not dearer. Tesco organic for 500g is £2.00 meaning its about the same but without plastic.
plus brown rice is heathier too

ingredients to the shampoo

My shampoo is a difficult one as I buy Medicated sampoo in 200ml bottles at £7.49 per bottle.
This bottle above does not list the ingredients I am intollerent too so again 200ml = 250g so this would be cheaper in my refillable bottls too at £1.56 

The hair conditioner ingredients are also are free of my chemical intolerences I usually buy Dove conditioner at 350ml/500g £2.70
This conditioner above would be £2.60

Comfort is my bottle brand 3L at £6
The above works out for 3L at £7.20 with reusable bottle

Again my usual brand is Harpic toilet cleaner at £1.75 for 700g
the above works out £2.24 with my own bottle

My usual brand is persil non bio
6.5kg 100 washes = £10
For the same it works out about £24 this is
a rough estimate but the product is eco friendly to the planet.



450g = 450ml
Tesco £50
This one above £1.67
 



This is some of the other things they offer in the shop
