Over the last couple days, we've sourced out some great plastic-wrap-free items: cheese (for real this time), nacho chips, more fast food, and also shampoo and deodorant.
Cheese we found at Gary's European Sausage and Deli. They wrapped it in paper for us, and even the tape is paper. We also got lunchmeat from them, which is pretty awesome. It makes the sammiches on the serve-yourself-buns we bought at Save-on Foods so much nicer.
At Fresh is Best, we can make arrangements to swing by with our own containers when they're making stuff, and they will fill them with products such as nacho chips, taco shells, and even salsas and dips. They even have a salsa that has no garlic in it, so Miles can enjoy this particular snack as well. It's tropical and it's delicious.
When we finished up Thursday's shopping spree, we went to Burger King for supper. There, we were allowed to fill our own glasses with their fountain pop, and the sandwiches are wrapped in wax paper (when you fold the paper, it leaves a little white line which gives the wax coating away).
Friday we went to Kelowna to the Lush Cosmetics store. There, we found shampoo bars, soap, deodorant, bubble bath, and bath bombs, plus a few other products, that had no wrapping at all. We bought shampoo, bubble bath, deodorant and a bath bomb, and received a small shampoo-bar-sized tin as part of a promotion. The deodorants we chose came in paper wrap since we didn't have enough separate containers on us for everything, and they put things in tiny paper bags for us as well. Apparently their head office is attempting to come up with a toothpaste solution as well, so I imagine we'll be checking back with them in a few months (when our shampoo runs out) for an update.
