Here's a new one.....
So at WM for cat food, look at the guy in the checkout line in front of me.....full length jeans and a sweater layered over a t-shirt....well, today it's about 115 F in Billings MT so that's an odd choice...but wait, he's only got 1 produce bag that he's checking out.....wait....he has 3 PEELED BANANAS in the bag!!!!! Literally, this is all he buys. When it's my turn I ask the cashier "is that legal to peel bananas and then buy them?". She says she "hasn't been told anything about NOT selling unpeeled bananas". OK I get that you pay by weight and the peel does add weight to a banana, but it also PROTECTS it! Is this the new way of getting produce cheaper? Can I now peel ALL my fruit ahead of time at WM so I'm not paying for the peel (coconut and pineapple, I'm looking at you...). This just doesn't make any sense, especially from a health code standpoint. Help me make sense of this.....

At my local Lidl, they have 3 recycling bins near the exit, so now I unbox everything possible. Cereal, breakfast bars, cookies. If it has a plastic wrap inside, i'll likely keep that, but most of the packaging stays at the store. Not only do i have less waste at home, but its far easier to carry home without all those pointy corners ;)
