i guess for me it is easier then for normal people because i live off grid, so i don't need the shops daily and also, i have a lot of time to go wonder around for the plastic free items. normal people, that there are always in a hurry, they can not afford the time to go to the markets for their veggies, so they just end up in hypermarkets...
dumpster diving :) i did it a while ago, but now i let the people in need doing it. thank god, nothing gets wasted where we are, we have plenty of food sharers :)
