​Solving the Juice Box Dilemma - April 2019

​I have three kids that are involved in quite a few after school activities. While I always take drinks and food for them, I was always having to buy juice boxes and poppers. I noticed a tumbler with a lid and a straw, much like the disposable take-away cups, in the baby aisle at the supermarket. I bought a set of six and have been using them for several months for the kids' drinks. I take a bottle of water with me and rinse the cups out after every use. The kids have chewed the plastic straws, so I replaced them with stainless steel straws from Kmart (you'll find them in the party supplies area). Before I leave home, I pack their afternoon snacks and drinks in a little eski to stop the drinks falling over on the way to school (the cool drinks keep the snacks cool - bonus!). No more poppers or juice boxes in my shopping trolley and the kids are loving the reusable cups and rainbow straws as part of their own war on waste.
