  • We usually only refill dry goods every 4-8 weeks. But this time we went for an in-between visit to the #zerowaste shop because we ran out of vitamin B12. This caused a lot of misunderstandings in my story (sorry about that!) bc many followers thought they sold loose B12. I'm sorry to say this, but as far as I know, there is no way to get package-free supplements. • If you're vegan 🐷🐶💕🌱 you should know that supplementing vitamin B12 is vital!! In North America, a lot "typical" vegan products like mylks and nutritional yeast are fortified with B12 (and/or other vitamins or minerals). In Germany, many vegans get their vitamin B12 from a toothpaste 🦷 popular among vegans or supplements. • We have tried to keep the waste minimal when buying supplements. We always try to look for the best concentration-to(plastic)packaging ratio. 😝 • The first kind we bought were high-concentration lozenges in a small plastic bottle that lasted the two of us about a year. (I think the brand was called Jarrow?) We had seen B12 in small glass jars with plastic lids in the store. But doing the math we realized the two of us would need 8 of those bottles a year--creating almost the same amount of plastic waste with the glass jars on top of that. • The second kind we got were also lozenges, but sold in a blue glass jar with a metal lid that lasted us about half a year. (I have unfortunately forgotten the name of the brand, but they were sold in every health food store we went to in Vancouver. It's a company based in Richmond, BC.) • And this is going to be the 3rd kind of B12 for us! A tincture? You are supposed to take 5 drops a day, and the bottle will last the two of us 175 days (almost 6 months), and can obviously be reused. It's made in Germany, which is definitely a plus because it's almost local!
  • Here comes this week's #zerowaste #groceryhaul 😋🍎🥬🥔💕! • What you see are about two pounds of kale! So yes, we bought a whole shopping bag of kale 😂 LOL! Why? Because it was discounted 😝. So today, let's talk about money 💸 • 80/20 RULE To not break the bank to buy organic, we always make sure that at least 80% of what we buy at the farmers market are from the cheaper end and also the more "filling" things. In Germany, potatoes 🥔 are a staple and extremely affordable, so we buy more potatoes here than back in Canada. Squashes 🎃 and cabbages 🥬 are usually very affordable, so more of these, please. Root veggies are sometimes cheaper, sometimes more expensive, so sometimes we buy them, sometimes we don't 😉. In the summer, berries 🍓, bell peppers and the likes are usually more expensive, so they fall into the 20% category. • BUDGETING We have a budget of EUR 50 💵 (~USD 62/ CAD 78/ GBP 44/ AUD 78) for our weekly groceries. What we buy is usually enough to feed the two of us for an entire week, no outside meals. To make sure we stay within our budget we only take that amount IN CASH with us. Yes, we are big "cash only" supporters, for a variety of reasons, one of which is because it makes budgeting easier. • We only refill our dry goods (all organic) once every 4-8 weeks, and we usually spend an average of EUR 60/month (~USD 74/ CAD 94/ GBP 53/ AUD 94). This means our average monthly grocery budget (for the two of us) is EUR 277 (~USD 344/ CAD 431/ GBP 246/ AUD 434), which surprisingly isn't a lot more compared to what we used to spend on (conventional) groceries each month!
  • What's your favorite #zerowaste beverage? I'm a big (herbal) tea drinker, my partner Hanno pretty much only drinks tap water and a black coffee from time to time. • #PACKAGEFREE BEVERAGE OPTIONS 💦 Tap water🚰, if possible. If not, sometimes certified filters can help. I like to add mint or fruit to spice up the tap water. 🌿 Herbals teas (infusions), preferably locally grown. You can even grow herbs on the windowsill! 🍵 You can usually #bringyourowncontainer to buy loose leaf teas in tea shops or Chinese Medicine shops. We use a reusable stainless steel tea strainer. 🍎 Smoothies from fresh fruits instead of juices. This way you benefit from all the nutrients the fruit has to offer! Just keep in mind smoothies are also high in (natural) sugar, so enjoy in moderation 😉. 🥛 We make our own oat milk by blending oats with water. We make almond milk for guests. We're lazy, so we don't strain our mylk 😝 (unless we have ppl over). ☕️ We used to buy coffee from coffee roasters in our own tins, but now we don't even have coffee at home anymore because we hardly drink coffee anymore. 🥃 I brew my own kombucha with organic black tea and locally grown organic sugar I buy in bulk. 🍺 In Germany, we buy local organic beer in flip-top glass bottles. We can return the bottles and they'll get refilled. It's a very common system. In Canada we just went to breweries to have them fill up our growlers. 🍷 We don't drink wine, but I heard you can ask wineries to fill the wine into your own bottles during bottling season. • As always, we try to make the more sustainable option our staple and treat the other options as a treat 💚.
  • ✨GIVEAWAY✨ (ad/shameless selfpromotion 😝) ++ The lucky winners are: @callie.napoli and @ewaybright, congratulations 🎉!! Please DM me 💚 ++ If you're anything like me, now's the time your new year's resolutions start to crumble 🤪 and you can use a little motivational boost! • If one of your resolutions is to move towards a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle this is for you 💚! • I'm giving away 2 copies of my book "Zero Waste: Simple Life Hacks to Drastically Reduce your Trash" (@skyhorsepub) 📖. • This book is all about making reducing trash as doable as possible and to forget about the "zero" in #ZeroWaste! Think of it as a cookbook! There's no need to read it cover to cover. You can skim through it, looking for inspiration and (ridiculously easy) recipes to try. All recipes are the ones we use ourselves. They are ridiculously easy and fast, because, well, who's got the time, right 🙃? • TO ENTER leave a comment telling me about what you want to move towards in 2019, and if you don't already, make sure to follow me 😁. This giveaway is US-only (sorry, wish I could make it international🙏) and ends on Friday, Jan 18 at 11:59pm EST. The winners will be chosen at random and announced here on IG 💚!
  • We rewarded ourselves with some (vegan) #kimbap for not sleeping in on a Saturday but moving our lazy asses to the farmers market 😝! #groceryhaul • We ordered the kimbap “for here” 😋 and transferred it to our containers ourselves #bringyourowncontainer Not because we thought they’d refuse us, but because they were really busy and we didn’t want to add any extra stress. • I’ve waited tables myself and I’ve also worked in retail. You have your workflows and you rely heavily on them especially when you’re swamped. So we usually avoid disrupting the staff’s workflow during stressful times. • Another tip: It helps to be a regular customer. Regulars are predictable, something staff members usually appreciate. We also like to be regular customers, because you don’t have to explain anything. They already know 😆💚! Very often, we get so comfortable, we forget to mention we wanted something vegan or forget to say we don’t want the straw—and the staff remembered it in our stead 😍!
  • I LOVE chocolate 😍! And this, my dear friends, is actually one of the rare occasions we actually have chocolate at home. And surprise... We keep it in a jar, duh 😂! (By the way – who else thinks they should add a jar emoji next 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️😂?) • Many people ask me where we buy sweets #packagefree. We are lucky to have access to not only one, but several #zerowaste bulk shops! And I think they all sell #organic, ethically produced chocolate. • Depending on where you live, you can get bulk sweets at health food stores, department stores, candy shops, ethnic grocery shops with bulk bins, corner shops, candy stalls at carnivals, fairs, or markets... • Hanno and I seriously have the biggest sweet tooth. I used to be a CAKE blogger after all LOL (@cakeinvasion). Yes, we even have access to bulk vegan, organic, ethically produced chocolate... BUT... Despite all that we have decided to have chocolate at home as an EXCEPTION only. • ► FOR HEALTH REASONS. We have no self discipline whatsoever when it comes to anything sweet 😅. This chocolate will be gone in 1-2 days TOPS 🙈. But if we have none at home, we won't be tempted to snack on it at home. After a few days the cravings usually stop naturally. (Inspired by @luke.durward's TEDtalk) ► FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS. Chocolate comes at an enormous environmental and social cost. These include rainforest deforestation, child and slave labor, a carbon footprint comparable to eggs and milk, and a water footprint almost as bad as beef (for numbers check this study by the University of Manchester → https://bit.ly/2GPuAeh) • So for us, less is also more when it comes to chocolate. We probably still eat way too much sugar (still can't say no to vegan cake LOL), but we're reducing what's not good for us AND the planet, babystep by babystep.
