2 The Beeswax Wraps Co.

I don’t know about you, but I am awful at meal prep. I think when you work restaurant jobs for years on end (newsflash: writing doesn’t pay many bills!), you get in the habit of eating free work food at unsociable hours. Which generally means lots and lots of chips, at about 11pm.

If you’re a reader who has somehow managed to get your life together (or, shock horror, enjoys cooking), I can’t recommend wax wraps from The Beeswax Wraps Co. enough. These sheets are made of beeswax, and sort of feel like really thick paper. However, they provide a reusable alternative to cling film, tin foil, or whatever you wrap your sarnies in.

They’re versatile too- we use them in our house to wrap the top of bowls, cover plates, or even just wrap bare food. If you’re vegan and can’t use beeswax, they also offer a vegan wax-based alternative on their website. They come in three sizes and have plenty of colorful patterns and prints to fit whatever vibe you’re going for. These wax wraps are stylish, environmentally friendly, and if you can afford the investment, it will certainly save money in the future. Starting at £12 and going up to £30, they will hardly set you back an eye-watering amount, and are especially helpful for people adapting to a plastic-free lifestyle.
