5 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Kitchen in 2020
It’s the start of a new year, so you must be well on your way to achieving those New Year's resolutions, right? Of course not! We won’t judge you. But the new year is a great excuse to start sorting things out in your kitchen. We know you’re busy - so we’ve thought up five new year resolutions that you can start in your kitchen today.
Use Less Plastic
Ditch that cling wrap and plastic straws – 2020 is all about being green! Stock up on beeswax wraps and metal straws for your kitchen. Don’t forget your reusable bags when you’re at the shops. And start shopping at places that have bulk bins – you can bring your own container and save on packaging.
Save More Water
Your kitchen is one of the rooms that use more water than any other place in the house. So start your water-saving resolution where it counts. Try the ‘eco’ option on your dishwasher, and only turn it on when it’s full. Use that old cooking water from your pasta or boiled veggies to water the garden. The environment, and your wallet, will thank you!
Be More Organised
Things getting messy in the kitchen? Use 2020 as the year you get your kitchen organised! Start with one drawer at a time whenever you have a spare ten minutes. Move things you don’t regularly use to a more out of the way spot, or throw them out altogether. Buy organisers for your pantry so you can always see what’s in there without rummaging around.

Eat More Healthy Foods
We know that eating healthy gets on the list every year, so why not make it easy in 2020? Steaming nutritious foods like vegetables or fish is a quick and convenient way to eat well. So consider buying a steam oven to make your meals as healthy as possible. Don’t have the room? Microwave streamers are far more compact and cost-effective.
Save Money for the Future
How many times have you bought a small fortune in groceries only to have them waste away before you can use them? Invest in a quality refrigerator in 2020 to keep your food fresher for longer. You may have to shell out initially, but you’ll save on your shopping bill all year round.
