I shall investigate these things.<BR/><BR/>It is quite likely that the tins from baked beans are lined with plastic.<BR/><BR/>And the problem with most of the solutions are that they are expensive, and we're on a really minimal budget (£4 per child, £0 per adult... though I'm sure we'll spend more than that!)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887363735135158964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328032871173810204.post-85158287600218778532008-10-03T16:53:00.000+01:002008-10-03T16:53:00.000+01:00Coffee - try Atkinson's on China Street.

It would be filter coffee, though - you would need to buy filter papers or use a cafetiere.<BR/><BR/>You can probably get squash in glass bottles with only a tiny bit of plastic in the lid. These tend to be more expensive, though.<BR/><BR/>I can't quite solve the hot chocolate dilemma, but if you were to buy cocoa powder (cardboard box, plastic lid) and add sugar you would get a similar effect. Instead of hot chocolate you could try warm milk with honey, or something.<BR/><BR/>Surely flapjacks can be made using oil instead of spread... How about that olive oil from the market? Alternatively, try the oil section in Sainsbury's - you may be able to get some in glass bottles with minimal plastic in the lid.<BR/><BR/>You could make muesli (or maybe buy it) with Single Step ingredients.<BR/><BR/>Are baked beans not OK as they come from tins?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
