Use foil instead of plastic bags to store food

Processed food that comes in plastic wrappers and ziplock bags
What items are essential and seem to have no plastic-free alternative?
Contact solution, deodorant
What lifestyle change(s) might be necessary to reduce my plastic consumption?
None, I really don’t use that much plastic. I could use as little contact solution as possible to make it last as long as possible so I won’t need to buy as many bottles.
What one plastic item am I willing to give up or replace this week?
Ziplock bags
What other conclusions, if any, can I draw?
Eating at the dining hall and cooking at home is a lot less wasteful than eating out.
