I could try to blame this post on the sweet teeth of my girls, but that would be silly. I'm the one with the biggest sweet tooth of all. I try to indulge only as a treat + not as an every day habit. One way I accomplish this is my leaving the large packages of sweets at the store. Avoiding packaging provides another motivation for this practice. :) Going out for an occasional sweet makes each indulgence a real treat.
Usually we bring home a bulk cookie each from our weekly grocery trip, but one week these lemon-pistachio + blueberry-cornmeal donuts looked tempting. A little liberty bag like the one below worked just fine for transport home.

Sour gummies are a favorite of mine, so finding this bulk candy display at Ikea was a happy surprise (we also like the chocolate covered marshmallow bears). This cloth bag worked well to hold + weigh our treats. A bandana would work too. I even received a surprised, "I've never seen this before. Good idea!" during check-out. I always hope it will inspire someone else to do the same at some point.

Who says zero-waste has to be boring? I love finding new ways to avoid trash, while tasting a new treat!
