Food Waste Avoidance 11 - Making smarter food choices

For each item you plan to purchase, please answer the following questions with a simple yes or no first:

Origin
  • Is the product Australian made or owned? Or, are all or some of the ingredients?
  • Is it the product local, seasonal and organic?
Packaging
  • Is the packing wasteful or excessive?
  • Is the package reusable? Is it recyclable in my kerbside bin?
  • How will I dispose of the package?
  • Can I buy the same with less packaging?
Servings

  • How many servings are in this product?
  • How many servings will I use when cooking?
  • If I don’t use it all, what is the “use by” or “best before” of remaining serves?
Money
  • Did I really need this? Was it on my shopping list? (or was it an impulse purchase or ‘special deal’?)
  • Alternatively, could I grow my own?
  • Alternatively, could I substitute this ingredient/product for something else I already have?

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan.  I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018.  It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while.  Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone.  Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article,  https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html .  Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router!  Hope it helps.
