I live in Italy and to me 25$ is still a lot for a couple pounds of fruit and some seeds. I would have left the supermarket spending a little over 5€ had I bought that in Italy.
I just wanted to comment that my grandpa is Italian and my last name is fanini and I just thought it was so cool seeing yours be fantini, very close to mine! I have never seen someone with a similar last name
My favorite snacks are fresh fruit, dried fruit, I make my own homemade granola and my own homemade snack mixes. I try to do everything natural and homemade. When I was in high school, it’s really hard to find food to eat since I don’t eat meat. We went on road trips down to Mississippi, because we were helping with hurricane disaster relief. It was really hard to find food, like fresh vegetables or anything that didn’t have meat in it. So packing food, saved my life. Another great option is vegan jerky, primal is my favorite. I love their vegan jerky. My mom told me to pack a bunch of snacks for the road and it was definitely a good idea.
Question, how do you use those bags with the bulk food. Do you print out the sticker? Do you write out the code for the cashier? I don't understand how they know the item and price without it being a long search for them on the register searching for codes. Genuinely curious
Hey Andi! So this is the truth: at first I would take pictures of all of the bin numbers instead of writing them down. Then when I go to check out I save all of the bulk items for the end. Once the cashier get to them we go 1 by 1 and I listed off the bin numbers from my phone. Rapid fire. Now I have the number memorized because I pretty much get the same stuff every trip & just list them off as the checker grab them. Also they just recently installed self check out at this store, so I go that route too sometimes😁
At my local store, they don't print labels. Most workers are able to identify what the item is. Others will check the book of codes they are. The books are organized by type of item, so it's actually easy to find. I normally take pictures of the item labels, so they put the code in easily.
It's true ✨ when you're at the airport the snacks cost a lot Sandwich can cost you $10 bag of chips $10 water could be 4 ,I always remember to pack up my own snacks for the airport 💯
Yes, my mom would do the same thing. Fruit and we would make our own Gorp. Lol that’s what she called trail mix. She would make one sweet and one salty. We would then go to the bulk bins @ our local co-op and pick out our ingredients. I miss her! ❤
Besides glass, is there any plastic free reusable containers for lunches? My husband needs something where it won't break and I can get rid of some of my plastic containers.
I am not a fan of sugar! Makes me sick. & $25 for 8lbs of food is a great price?🤣 mind you most of its organic & all healthy snacks. After a week of travel & constant snacking on the road, we still have leftovers.
I would never suggest someone not travel. That’s irrational & extremists & most of the time turns a lot of people away from even TRYING to go zero waste or eco. We don’t set unreasonable expectations for ourselves on this channel. Period. & if you really think about it, shouldn’t the people who have changed their entire life to being zero waste have the privilege to fly & enjoy the world they work so hard to save? & apart from that, they’ve altered planes over the years to not produce as much emissions as they used to. Forms of public transportation are gradually improving & changing to be more environmentally friendly, especially planes. So we gotta give credit where it’s due. A perfect zero waste world does not exist. Which is exactly why I say “do not set unreasonable expectations for yourself”
do not do this when going to a different country! a lot of countries have a strict no produce policy so that you can't introduce new parasites or bugs into the environment that could mess up their farming. doesn't matter if they're perfectly fine fruits, they'll get thrown away
Be carful and do your research when doing this traveling internationally many countries have restrictions on bringing fruit, vegetables, nuts, or seeds that can come with large fines.
Don’t do this to international trips. It is illegal to bring fruits and vegetables. Some countries won’t allow even dry nuts. Just check with your flight company before buying and bringing, the fee for bringing a banana in a plane to another country is hefty!!!
You realize it's not zero waste if your getting on an airplane???? I love ur videos and no hate, but you just can't say zero waste if ur not actually zero waste.

25 won't even get you two packs of chicken or just one box of crab legs. I know I compared it to meat but I'm not vegan. I do wanna go zero waste! Thank you! I'm not even in college yet! I think it'll be fun and new to me. I'll always know something is mine since it's wooden!
Uhhmm... There's tons of waste with sunflowers seeds with the shells and pistachios in shells unless you're trying to tell me you're eating the shells too 🤢
@@llyevaleandre7962 You seem confused about what "waste" is. You can throw those hunks on the ground and they will become compost in a year (max). Plastic for example, doesn't really do that, does it?
@@PeaceOfMake lol no, everyone is actually overshooting on this xD Im not a child, yet others can be. My household we compost our organic garbage exceptions being meat products that can cause maggots. And throw off the ph balance. My point was I'm hoping the person is going to be responsible enough to not leave disgusting spat out messes everywhere or that they collect the spittings for said compost which all in all is still gross, except the pistachios, I don't know any psychos that suck on pistachios like sunflower seeds.
@@loveofearthco it's only if you're going on an international flight. Just make sure you eat it before customs. The reason is you have to declare fresh produce and cut flowers to reduce the spread of disease or potentially invasive species.
