Started my new year's resolution to buy #plasticfree. Thought I'd try out
@waitrose first, due to their "ethical policy".

I couldn't buy 90% of my shopping list so basically left with almost nothing.

Everything is plastic wrapped. All completely unnecessarily.

This week it looks like aubergine and mushrooms only.

I brought my own tupperware so I could buy meat and fish plastic free. They wouldn't use them to sell me the deli stuff on grounds of "health and safety"

Look at this nonsense. Waitrose suppliers have actually actively moved away from glass to put oil in Faux glass containers. All of these are plastic.

Bread is a joke. Everything wrapped in plastic. But what's particularly annoying is this sort of packaging from waitrose. Adding a plastic "window" immediately makes something unrecyclable

So that was @waitrose. Pretty disappointing tbh given they're a high end supermarket.

Next week I'll try sainsbury and aldi the week after. See if I'm any more successful.

Right now it looks like a plastic resolution will become a diet resolution!
