Perhaps we have nore packaging because we tend to buy food in smallish quantities rather than sacks of grain etc. I make nearly all of our bread and get through a lot of flour but I still buy my flour in 1.5kg bags from Waitrose. It would be nice to buy it in larger quantities but I haven't found a cheaper source.<BR/><BR/>Rhonda jean<BR/>Its interesting the amount of information that can be gleaned from looking at just one photo. I've looked through them several times, at the kitchens, what they are wearing etc - a snapshot of life around the world.willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818659940895641160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758923382182845981.post-70852595306531910542008-01-10T20:21:00.000+00:002008-01-10T20:21:00.000+00:00Like the others I was amazed at the amount of pack...Like the others I was amazed at the amount of packaging.

That was more depressing than either the cost (about 1/3 more for the weekly shop) or the quality.<BR/>J<BR/>xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14576982065729973318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758923382182845981.post-50255415239405349792008-01-10T11:08:00.000+00:002008-01-10T11:08:00.000+00:00Very interesting.

Wow! i guess my $140 is pretty good. :) I love the pictures with all the fresh fruit/veg. It's amazing on the other side of the spectrum -- the family in Chad was only spending $1.23/week!<BR/><BR/>My family and I have been discussing the problem of packaging on food -- it creates SO much waste -- we don't really eat prepared food ourselves, but even "healthy" food has so much packaging!Heather L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09892693393383714339noreply@blogger.com
