Day 10 and a happy honey ending

Day 10 all done and dusted, well nearly.

We have finally found a place to get honey that doesn't cost £6 or more and peanut butter which has no plastic lid. We thought we'd managed to buy cheese without plastic too but... Even though we had a long conversation and specifically said, "please could we have it without plastic" and it looked like it was being wrapped in brown paper, it is actually wrapped in plasticised paper 😖.

So in Kendal, there are 4 supermarkets: Aldi, Asda, Booths and Morrisons. (Sainsburys hasn't opened yet). Morrisons suggested we get a piece pre-wrapped cheese and they'd dispose of the plastic; Asda don't even give you that choice; we haven't checked at Aldi but assume it's much the same as Asda as they don't have a cheese counter and Booths use plastic coated paper. Sadly we don't have a cheese shop.

The other things we noticed today:
* weetabix looks like it's still wrapped in paper but if you look closely, it's plastic coated too.
* wine is easier to buy plastic free than cheese
* the recycling labels on products are hard to find but informative when you do
* sweeties are a no-no 😟

Mum has promised to share some plastic free handy recipes over the weekend and I'm hoping she manages to skim cream for my banoffee pie 😛
