I love your Plastic-free shopping list!! You have some great ideas in there that I think I can incorporate. Some of the products I can't buy in bulk because I have to buy the wheat-free or gluten-free variety, and those aren't available in bulk (yet!). However, I could make my own yogurt easily, and the kids would love having a constant supply of that!
