Day 8 - ice creams! - today we went to nom bulk foods and tried their ice creams! They are all no preservatives and colours and such and the wrapper is made of biodegradable material! We are going to make our own ice cream in our ice cream maker too.

Day 9 - tea! When I go visit a client they most of the time have packets of sugar and tea bags. So I made a little tea kit. I would still need milk, but I can use the bulk sugar and tea. At work actually I tried to get them to buy a bag of sugar but instead of little sugar packets but even though it would be 2/3 cheaper, they still liked the convenience
Day 10 - how cool is my boost juice reusable cup!!! It’s got a watermelon crush inside it and the insulation keeps it cold!
Day 11 - Zero waste - second hand clothing. I went to the salvos the other day and got these! Paid all of $3.50-$4.50 per item. The best part about the jeans is that I don’t have to wear them in! Super comfy already. I heard once that the Queen has someone to wear her shoes in for her. Just saying!
Day 12 - Zero waste - leftovers from a restaurant. We went out to dinner today and brought our own containers for the leftovers! Lucky we did because with Valentine’s Day they were so run off their feet that we would not have been able to get one anyway! They looked at us a little appreciative because they didn’t have to deal with getting us containers
Day 13 - dog treats. We usually get our treats from https://www.kolysdogtreats.com.au. We made a deal with her as she delivers our treats that since she gets them in bulk and packages them herself, that for us she either doesn’t package them or packages them in paper bags. It’s been great so far! She does as much as she can as sometimes they come in packaging but otherwise we get a whole bunch of fun stuff all in paper!

Day 14 - canning. Today mum and dad came around and helped us can a bunch of tomatoes that dad helped to buy for us at the markets. He helped all day with canning our stuff also. The jars were all previously used, lots of the lids were reused. The tomatoes were bought in cardboard boxes from the markets! We got 30 jars out of our 2 boxes!! It was mostly dad and Deniz that did stuff really
