conflicting shopping choice

[meade18]

Hello,

not sure about everyone else but im really struggling to decide what's best when it comes to my shopping choices. I understand there is pandemic and I should just buy what I need but I also know that there is a growing need to shop more sustainably? is this just me? any thoughts are welcome!

For me the conflict is that I would like to buy sustainably, but can't afford to. For example, I would like to purchase reusable food bags rather than disposable ones that I buy. But I cannot tell the quality online and cannot afford to spend £15 on something that might turn out to be unusable.

@Ohdoleavemealone I completely agree! I feel like because of the pandemic too that im having to just take what im given but It goes against what feels right, im glad im not the only one. Money is also a huge issue too, low income means I struggle to buy something that may be deemed more sustainable
