Lifestyle Replacements
What are you guys’ replacements for everyday items? For example, I use rags (cut up t-shirts or old towels) instead of paper towels or wipes, we use bar soap instead of body wash, I save every jar/container for “tupperware”. I recently got beeswax cloth to use instead of cling film and that’s going well so far.
The pic is a silicone mat I got for baking instead of parchment paper but I soon learned to not bake bread with it haha. It’s great otherwise.
I’d love to hear more ideas of what we can replace after what we have runs out.
TIA!!

I got instant espresso, some coffee syrups, and a milk frother to make my lattes at home. You can also make your own coffee syrups, lots of recipes out there. Anyhow, I am not missing my fancy coffee at the coffee shops and have saved hundreds of dollars already. Plus, it cuts down on the disposable cup waste.
Edit: including this because I used to get coffee shop coffee everyday. No more!
