the way this crystal bowl was transported gave me major anxiety also, I'd love to see a "repurchase" version of what I spend in a week

Pointy cabbage is called sweetheart cabbage, the round one is just called white/red cabbage, and there's also Savoy cabbage, the round one with textured leaves

In current economy in Türkiye i dont know what would we do if we didnt have our garden. All through the summer and winter we as a family eat what we grow on the garden. We rarely shop for fruits and vegetables. I just planted leeks, beets and cabbages today and watching this video made me feel really good. Love you and your videos Gitte ❤️ i love learning about sustainable living and your opinion on things and I hope you are ok

I remember my mother talking to me and my sisters in my teenage years (10-15 years back) about how New Yorker, Tally Weijl, H&M clothing is pretty bad quality. She still remembers times when stuff was produced better (her mother worked in the field/ sewed clothing). SheIN now being the new standard for bad blows my mind...

My last water bottle have been deformed in the dishwasher and I was looking for new in few weeks. And when I came home and was putting back my books at the attic and then... I saw the advert bottle made by my dad's company. It is plastic, but it is so beautifully apple green that I had to have it. I like very much my apple green bottle. And it is possible to wash it in dishwasher, thanks god.

"I really don't feel like interacting with people right now..." Yes! 😂 My forever mood!

🍓I had a pretty similar reaction eating strawberries this week... 😅🍓

It is very nice to see infusers who are transparent and know that there best is enough. Also I like how Miss. Gittamary is not like "Ok here's my trash jar with no plactic. You have to get all these products. Its all or no impact". She is such a bad a$$ queen!!!!!

It's actually approximately 20 cents per sheet, for the laundry sheets. 16/60 equals 0,26666, not 0,026666

Did anyone else have anxiety about the glass bowl in the bike basket

This was quite interesting. You could do it over one month next, if you want :)

Loved this video! It just makes sense that if you're not buying disposables and a bunch of stuff you don't need, you're gonna spend less money in the long run. Investing in costlier items that are going to last for years will bring the cost down to pennies per use averaged over the life of the product. BTW, my great grandparents immigrated from Denmark to America so I'm half Danish. It makes me proud to share a heritage with you, Gittemary. You're doing good work for Mother Earth! ❤

When the noodle ran away.....I saw it hit the ground and went "zero waste!!!!" you don't have to say, Gittemary, we know you're a real one 💚💙💚💙

Love the random church bells after you come back from shopping :) I am looking forward to the autumn time, because I like to collect the conkers on the ground to make my own laundry detergent. I usually collect like 1-2kg, let them dry on towels at home and then for laundry I quarter a handful, let them soak in water and that water gets really soapy. It works wonders, also used the dark green ivy leaves for my laundry. I do have liquid laundry detergent at home, but it's amazing what nature provides as well. I am from Germany where we also have a deposit scheme for bottles, here in the UK / Scotland sooo many people are against that because it would create more problems. Big fan of tooth tabs here, I do split them in half to make them last longer , lol.

I have never considered myself as zero waste, but having watched this then maybe I am, by default! I have always lived like this.

That kind of cabbage is called a sweetheart cabbage. Napas aren't as pointy. 😊

This made me miss grocery shopping in Germany. 😭 Groceries in the US are so expensive.

I'm fascinated by the price difference between Denmark and the US. Here, the ice cream would have been $7 and the pasta would have been mayyybe $2.

i don't want to give off the impression that this was the main thing i got out of this video but wow i've never seen pointy cabbage before!!! so cool!

Yesss, please more videos like that! Could be a great regular series, very real and motivating!

I don't care if they're actually French or not - Fransk Hotdogs are the actual best. The dressing especially. Amazing to know a vegan version is possible!

Love this video! My family of five have a leftover eating day when we make sure to use up all leftovers in the fridge and that has been a game changer for both saving money and reduce food waste

Amazing content as always ❤❤❤

Great video. I live in the US. Very different but still alot to take away from this. Thank you!

Super interesting! Great concept for a video. Thank you ❤🌻

To my fellow US viewers, e-bikes are a great way to reduce your dependence on cars even if you live in a super car-dependent place (like most of the US). I ride my bike for trips under 3 miles and it’s cut my car usage in half which feels like a huge win, especially in my very car-dependent city!

Thanks for the video. Really interesting seeing how things differ here in Australia. I really love your balanced approach to your zero waste life. You’re doing great! 👍🏻

Very practical info, I’d love to see more videos like this one

Loved this video! I live in Canada and as a low waste lifestyler, I find that most of my bills / costs are already low and with buying most things used, swapping, repurposing etc. I save a lot compared to the mainstream Canadian . The latest data I saw, Canadians produce the most garbage and CO2 / capita in the world 😳 so we have a long way to go here!

it's so interesting seeing costs in other countries compared to the US when it comes to sustainability and just cost of living in general. Thank you for sharing

Great video, the sausage baguette looked so good!

So interesting to see the price of things in Denmark. I love love LOVE that bowl!!!

Yes we want another video pleasee❤

The bowl is to die for really beautiful. I purchased a stainless steel lunch box at least 10 years ago, also 3 layers. Love it. Also I at times use it not to take food elsewhere to eat, but to store my salads in. I find I can keep lettuce in it a week and it stays fresh and crisp. I purchased an additional stainless steel (single dish nut with a divider) container to gift to a friend who takes their lunch to work). I’m an avid gardener so I grow a lot (sadly not all) of our produce and “can” any extra. Some years, like this year, are real challenging with the record temperatures and I not sure I’m saving any $ over purchasing from a local market. Lastly I wanted to share with you what my grandmother taught me (she grew up during the depression) “use it up, wear it out, fix it, make it do, or do without”. My grandmother did her laundry in her sink and hung it out to dry her entire life, never owned a car, used public transportation. Everything she had was pre-owned. With the single exception of her couch & chair. She saved for years for it a cream brocade French provincial style and paid for custom vinyl covers. We kids weren’t allowed and when she died, we removed the covers to find it looked brand new.

Fantastic video, I really enjoyed seeing how you live sustainably on a budget (so many good tips!) The food prices in Denmark seem so much more than in the UK, I was shocked by how much your pasta cost! ps: I love the glass bowl - it's so chic ☺

You should def do this again when you have to replace things! :)

Thanks for sharing that with us, I like videos like that! Oh and I really would hear your opinion about repairing or buying new (washing machine and so one). I think it is a big problem, that it is often more expensive to let repair something like that than buy it new.

French person here: we don't have specific hot dogs in France, the one we have are the one you do at home on bbq with, indeed, baguette bread most of the time, or the american ones in store/restaurants with the same soft long bun than in the US XD but glad you like the one with the baguette as well!

Cries in broke American because I am so jealous 😭 groceries have gotten crazy expensive here!

Watching this from Spain and crying. Salaries are way lower here but prices are way way higher. Each of those grocery trips would have been at least double!

The laundry calculations 😂❤

Yes more 🎉❤

너무 많이 배우고 있어요^^❤ 감사합니다

Pointy cabbage is called Napa cabbage in the US. I think “pointy” makes more sense. 😂❤ Thank you so much for your amazing content. Your a lovely soul. 🙏

Even with a high quality tube crimper (usually used for artists paints), I am consistently surprised how much toothpaste still hangs out in the bottom of the tube.

Hi Gittemary, you are sure it is not 20 cents and not 2 cents per wash? 😁 (love your content btw)!🎉

Woah almost everything you mentioned seems less expensive in Denmark than in Canada!I (Apart from your hot chocolate) For us it's the equivalent of 30-35 Euro per week for Internet, phone and 1-2 streaming service!!!

I think the laundry sheets have polyvinyl alcohol in them which is a from of plastic

Important question: how do you keep your soap boax from being covered in goo?? 😅

In the us and never saw a pointy cabbage before this video 😮

Instead of a razor, I use a rechargeable epilator ☺️

7€ for a hot chocolate 😢 in Germany i pay 4€

Do your laundry sheets contain PVA? IF NOT what do they use instead of the PVA plastic to hold it together?

Unfortunately where i live they dont take the plastic tubs or tetra packs, but i can get yoghurts in glass.

Does anyone else bite the tooth tablet in half and uses only one half? I find it is enough for me. Maybe it depents on the tablets. But the ones I have are so foamy for my taste if I use the whole thing. Edit to add! Yes! It makes me furious that fixing an appliance is more expensive then getting a new one. We had one part of a basket from a dishwasher broke (it is just past guarante date-ofcourse) and getting a new basket and the things it mounted on is next to impossible and when we found one it was so expensive. I hate that

Me and my brain not working while converting everything back into DKKR 😂

Oooo what is pointy cabbage?? Does it taste different

Omg I tried that Oatly creme fraiche and it was AWFUL. Any other recommendations?

Wow! I imagined Denmark to be much more expensive. Malta is more expensive!!

The laundry sheets work out to 21cents each. 😂 Unless I miss heard you 🤪. You said €13 for 60 sheet, correct?

Do the tins also have a refund? Here in Germany only drink bottles and drink cans are refundable.

230 Euros for a living space like this is insane. In Canada that would at least be 2,400 CAD in city and 2,000 CAD per month in the outskirts. 😭

in german it would be pointy cabbage too 😂 spitzkohl

I wonder if the naturli sausage actually taste like sausage 😅 I have tried many vegan sausage options but never had any success 🙈

I think when we talk about the 'privilege' of low waste living. Firstly i think previous generations have always lived in low waste lifestyle, it's how they survived wars and really harsh economic depressions which in the west these days we are largely sheltered from, it's really only our generations using plastic like crack addicts. But i also think that yes the initial purchase of the stainless steel product may be more expensive but you will have it for a lifetime so your not going to have to replace it as it wears out or gets broken, so in that way it is actually more cost effective and it's more short sightedness from people as opposed to inability to access a reusable drink bottle etc.. I think some things have no alternative to plastic but we definitely need to rethink our relationship with it. It's more the whole foods thing that seems extremely expensive, at least in my country. Unless you grow your own, which lets be honest we can't all have a feild of wheat to make our own flour with 😂 it gets kind of difficult.

Number one ... tap water all the time

The last one could totally happen in non-step siblings situation. I mean not giving a ride part. But. It's giving op/step-mom has threatened "If you don't behave, I'll ship you off to your mom's place" and now she's acting "okay, whatever then, ship me off if you want to" like teenagers do.

checked and 64 dollars is 54 pounds seems a lot to spend on food considering there wasn't a proper food shop. Why do you think it was so much?

🤍🤍🤍

Girl....what is in that hot dog dressing?

half the video you say euros and the other half dollars 😅
