But a few weeks ago I wasn't feeling well, so got some supermarket orange juice...and turns out there is no comparison! ...so not even considering any sustainability issues I am much happier with my twice monthly treat than the idea of reverting to an inferior product. (And they even let you take the peels for any candying, rind grating or infusing ideas you might have up your sleeve).
We have been getting our orange juice in our own jars at a farm shop we go to every 2 weeks, and as it costs more than tetra pack (€4/l a 50 cent discount from bringing our own containers) I had assumed it was just one of those thing that just work out a bit more expensive if you want to get it zero waste.

When I cut my hair last June one of my zero waste friends said to me excitedly "now you can use rye flour as shampoo!" At the time I wasn't interested, being perfectly happy with my shampoo bars....I had no intention of switching...but a few weeks ago we ran out...so we just started using using a teaspoon of rye flour mixed with water to make a paste instead. Rub in leave for a few minutes and then wash out, easy! Unintended benefit....it costs less than €1 a year!

When I started this blog I was on quite a tight budget, I was on carers allowance and C was looking for work. Our monthly budget was €750 a month after rent. Archives
