Concentrated products also reduce waste and save you dollars. Eliminate hidden poisons in your home by using dry bleach or borax instead of chlorine bleach. You can reduce packaging waste and save money by selecting products that have the least amount of packaging. Buy dry goods such as grains, cereals, spices, flour, and paste in bulk. For items that aren't sold in bulk, try to buy the largest size available.
Large sizes use less packaging and cost less per unit.
Store leftovers and lunches in sealable storage containers instead of reaching for the plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Consider having fresh milk, water or seltzer delivered to your door in refillable bottles. It's convenient, affordable, and can save you extra trips to the store. If delivery service is not available to you, try to buy drinks in containers that can be recycles as part of your recycling program. Mix up fruit juices and drink mixes from concentrate and store in covered pitchers or squeeze your own from fresh fruit.
