RE: The Sins of Being Poor, or Conscientious Frugality.
I shop at Aldi but wont buy any vegies in plastic. My local butcher wont let me bring my own container so I changed to one who did. I go to wholefoods for most loose stuff... its across from Aldi where I get halloumi, cheese etc and pasta but wish I didnt need to get in plastic..we have a good deli too and prices for veg same as Coles but better quality. We priced comparisions and worked out it was much of muchness if you can cope with shopping in 4 different places. Good on you for caring... it IS tough when you are on a reduced income. Thank god for our gardens. Xx

I have to be honest, I struggle to make time to shop at too many different places and...okay I confess, it's probably too much of a hassle. I hate shopping so I usually go after I drop my daughter at gymnastics and only ever to one destination. I'm there 4 times a week, so I prioritise on what I need the most and go to the shop which does that. Next time I go to a different one for the other things. These days it's usually a toss up between Aldi and Foodland.
SA is supposed to be starting a crackdown on single use plastics and as much as I believe in freedom, I can't help thinking it will make my life so much easier if companies were just stopped from using the excessive plastics. I don't know how far the single use ban will go, but it will be interesting to see.
