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


Day 8 Ketchup Verses cheaper brand brought in a glass bottle

08.07.19
The dilemma started at breakfast with the youngest child (8) and his omelette on toast.
"MOM THIS SAUCE IS NOT NICE"
so the hunt was on for Ketchup in a bottle
Ketchup
verses
Lidl's Delux tomato sauce at 75p



I was kind of hoping this would pass the kids taste test!!
It was the cheapest option due to the size difference


Plastic option Lidl
Glass bottle 300ml Tesco £1.45
Tesco 400ml plastic option

So the glass bottle is more expensive and has less sauce.
I have one possible answer to find and that is to refill my orignial plastic bottle but I am still hunting down a shop that offers this option.
I am keeping this bottle too see if I can reuse it
I hopeful
