under the direction of the leadership team is likely not 99% responsible for the awesome food experience that Starbucks is.
I wrote a post here a few years ago about their lunch offerings, and I haven’t changed my mind since then. The fact that it was a choice between them and Whole Foods is absolutely preposterous. Not only does Chick-fil-A pay their employees more (a full-time employee gets over $50,000 a year), they don’t have the dumb “bag boy” positions that Whole Foods has implemented, where someone is just there to bag up your groceries for you, and in my mind, slows the process down.
I refuse to go to Kroger during this period because the stress of walking in, seeing so many people shopping and seeing nothing on the shelves makes me feel panicky. And the masked zombies there who ignore directional arrows and other basic safety rules drive me up the wall. So I’ve been ordering groceries online and having them delivered. This is my life now. I don’t get to spend 30 minutes wandering through the store trying to pick out fresh produce. I can’t pick the size of the apples or the ripeness of the bananas. I just have to hope that they choose wisely.
This is all a long introduction to my new-found love of produce bags that help keep food fresh longer. My mother-in-law has been using them for a while and she convinced me to try some. After using them, I’m hooked! They really do make a difference! These bags are the best for fruits and veggies in the fridge because they keep the produce fresher longer. They even work well for lettuce, kale, etc. that tend to wilt quickly.
Now, I’m all about trying to avoid using plastic where I can, but sometimes there’s just no viable alternative. So when I read that the founder of Dezzio, Edina Tudor, used to be in the plastics industry and saw first hand the effects of single-use plastics on the environment, I wanted to give these bags a try. I use these every time I go to the grocery store now and am thrilled with how they keep produce fresh.
Planning Meals and Having Groceries Delivered
I used to make my weekly meal plan and then spend all day on Saturday grocery shopping. I would pick up everything I needed at the store and come home to stuff the fridge. Then my husband and I would meal prep for the week and be good to go. However, we've since cut our grocery shopping in half and have decided to shop for fresh produce during the week instead. We still do a big grocery trip for the weekend, but instead of trying to fit it all into one day, we'll go to a couple stores during the week and purchase what we need.
There's a learning curve when it comes to meal planning and grocery shopping, and that includes trying to reduce waste. Buying produce for a week means that a lot of times it won’t get eaten before it goes bad. By buying just enough for a few days, we are significantly cutting back on the amount of produce that ends up in the compost bin.
Use Food You Have on Hand
I love this idea because it saves you money and cuts down on food waste. Have a bunch of leftovers from a meal the night before? Eat them for lunch! Bought a package of veggies and you still have some left? Add them to your breakfast scramble the next morning! There are so many ways to incorporate what you already have in your kitchen into your meals. All you have to do is be a little creative.
While grocery shopping, buy ingredients that can be used in multiple dishes so you can get creative with them. This can save you both time and money in the long run. By utilizing what you have, you’ll likely save a trip or two to the grocery store throughout the week.
