It has been lack of funds that have created a challenge for me. It certainly costs more to be plastic free. In this time of CoVid and having to stick close to home to buy groceries I found that I had to buy what I could find and not be too picky about it. I also deigned to use the provided plastic bags to carry my grocery purchases.
I’ve been ordering my groceries online and picking them up at the store. I usually don’t use the thin plastic bags for my produce, I keep them loose or use cloth bags, and now I find my avocados arriving in a plastic bag. I am going to try putting a note in my next order and ask them to not use a bag for things that might be okay loose in the paper bag they place the other items in. Glad they’re not using those thick “reusable” bags they were trying to get away with recently, but I want to minimize my use of plastic wherever possible. I would love to get rid of my toothpaste containers in the mix, and I’ve been eyeing the floss for a bit now!
The biggest challenge is that people have switched back to plastic bags. We are not allowed to use our own bags.
Being an immuno-compromised person, I have not been able to shop for myself during the pandemic. So, my sister does her best buying necessities for me, but I don’t want to make it too complicated for her. Even if finding low or no plastic items weren’t as difficult under normal circumstances, shelves are empty of all options in many categories nowadays.

With all the sanitization, I am using items that are not reusable. I have more certainty in not spreading things by throwing away cleaning things after one use.
