Day - 3 my husband did the grocery shopping. Today, Richie broke the ice at Whole Foods trying to get meat into a glass tupperware container that he carried from home. We were concerned that the meat counter guys would have to place paper under the meat to weigh it out on the scale. Guess what - they didn't have to. Like this happens every day, the guy put the tupperware onto the scale, Tared the scale (zeroed it out) and threw in the grass-fed ground beef. Holy cow! It worked. They did put a sticker on the container though... So, a little bit of garbage. 

Next, Rich walked over to the bulk section equipped this time with a plastic Tupperware container from home. Straight to the big red machine that crushes fresh peanuts for the best peanut butter ever.

At the check-out register the cashier asked Rich how much the container alone weighed. Not sure, she deducted a reasonable amount of ounces so we was only charged for the peanut butter. She said next time to get the container weighed on the way in.

I'm starting to think that other people do this too. How wonderful. 

They say women particularly enjoy watching their men do housework like vacuuming, cleaning, dishes, etc. Well, coming home after a package-less shopping trip sure works for me. (although dishes are good too). Now time for some homemade pancakes and real maple syrup from the bulk section filled into a reusable jug. After this meal, we will have no more eggs. It will soon be time to seek out some real chickens.
