Making swaps are often easier than we think because we often have what we need to make the swap.
We don& #39;t need to throw out what we have and buy new things. Trust me - just look

First easy swap was to carry my own water.
Cheap way: All those promo mugs and bottles you get at events are

Though more because I love soup but hate plastic spoons that cut your lip, ditching single use utensils was an easy choice.
Cheap way: I use the ones from my kitchen and carry them in a pencil case.

Straws are complicated because most of us don& #39;t need them but paper straws just don& #39;t work for me.
Cheap way: Don& #39;t use any at all.
Bougie way: I much prefer silicone straws like the blue angled straw and the grey cocktail straw in the photo.

Make Sunday Monday and food storage easier and cuter:
Cheap Way: Reuse takeout containers & glass jars where you can.

I started using reusable shopping bags when I moved to Japan & got tired of the many plastic bags
Cheap way: Branded bags from events are great! Also, supermarket boxes.
Bougie way: Get bundles of bags that are cute and pocketable. https://amzn.to/3sDyDNy ">https://amzn.to/3sDyDNy&q...

Makeup wipes are convenient-ish, but my skin doesn& #39;t like them. I ditched them for The Makeup Eraser. BEST DECISION EVER!
I am still wondering how it removes waterproof mascara with just water.

Last but not least, I stopped using plastic razors. They are way too expensive! I got this razor in 2018 with a 100 blade pack - haven& #39;t bought new blades yet.

Outside of this, I am trying to reduce my food waste by:
1. Only buying what I need when I need it.
2. Pre-cutting and freezing my herbs and seasonings.
3. Growing what I can so I pick as needed.
