This was difficult but fun. I have learned to use mason jars and make more foods from scratch. And I have also learned to go without things that, in the past, I felt like I needed but turns out not so much. I feel like it's a bit hard to have bulk options in a small town vs a city, and this might have been easier if I had been in Denver or Albuquerque, but that's not my fate. 

Okay, I've been doing this, but always forget to check in. I have started making bread in a bread maker I got at the flea market. It's actually really good and the bread maker makes it super easy. And the bread is delicious and organic. I am not sure why I didn't do this before. My next flea market purchase will have to be a yogurt maker. I still need cheese. My sister told me to go to the grocery deli with some tin foil and ask for the cheese wrapped in that. I can also go to the expensive cheese store. I am going to try to go to the local taco place with a paper bag and buy chips. I am dying for chips.

Checking in day 1. Did well today. No single use plastic.
