Take your own. The plastic is harmful to the environment anyway and cost so much more than filling up a coffee mug or flask and cute little lunch box before you leave the house.
Buy Used or Second Hand
Check out second hand book shops and charity shops for a bargain or two, you never know what you might find.
Cook at home
Ditch the take away menu’s and apps and make dinner yourself. TV chefs make it look easy but start with something you can handle and work your way up from there. While you’re at it try to incorporate any food that’s on its way out so you don’t waste it. There are loads of websites where you can type in the ingredients you have and it comes up with a list of different things you can do with it.
Food Shopping
Write a list before you go shopping and never shop when you’re hungry!
Buy own brand or frozen instead of fresh
These are just a few ideas of course there are plenty more to be found if you have the right motivation!
