My First Plastic-Free Grocery Shopping Experience

It was a very small shopping trip, just for dinner’s ingredients, but a success!
I almost forgot my canvas bag, and was in reverse out of the driveway before I remembered, but I got it!  I went to King Soopers. 
My grocery list:
Red Onion
Tomato
Ginger
Serrano Pepper
Bread

I also grabbed:
Mangos
Avocados

I didn’t bag any of the fruits & veggies.  Just naked plants in the basket. 

I bought the only bread that they had in an all-paper bag.  A French Baguette.  Happens to be my favorite bread in the world (Indian Naan is a close second), so it wasn’t a bad option for dinner. 

I will definitely have to seek out better bakery options to get my normal whole wheat sandwich bread.  Where am I going to find bread that’s not packaged in plastic?  And how much will I have to pay extra?

Plastic used     None
Extra $ Spent  =  $0
Healthier Options = Nada.  White bread baguette doesn’t do anything for my nutrition.  The mango & avocado were an awesome desert though!
