But as I start to win the war against plastic, my battle on waste has refocused its attention to money instead. I only buy what I need for the week, which means I've reduced the amount of food we waste every week as well. It also means our shelves aren't packed with treats because if it doesn't fit within budget, it doesn't get purchased. Second time around, I'm happily saying "yes" to second-hand clothes and selling things that she has outgrown online. My next strategy to beat the battle of the bucks is to plant a vegetable garden.
