Okay that’s maybe a pretty huge commitment. But I’m at the point where I think it might almost be better to leave leftovers at the restaurant than to bring home a little stack of styrofoam clamshell containers wrapped in yet another plastic bag. I feel so guilty! And I don’t think it’s worth it.
But what am I gonna do about it? Stop eating out? (Umm, drastic!) Lug a bag of Tupperware with me? (I have to draw the weird Tupperware lady line somewhere!) Neither of those sound like the way to go, right?
If only I had a tiny Tupperware that would actually fit a good amount of food….
Not-so-shockingly, I happened to have just the thing. Each time I do a party, I have my nesting Keep Tabs TW containers all set up, but I hardly ever talk about them. Well, nesting was just what I needed, as it turns out.
By putting the smallest KT container INSIDE the next size (a 2 cup), I am able to take a really small container to the restaurant and then pull it out of my bag when I’m ready to pack leftover food.
So I shoved a bag inside the smallest container so I’d having something to take my containers home in, and I even put a little cloth napkin in between the small and the bigger container.
It’s simple, but let me tell you, it was handy, easy and it really impressed our waitress! She even brought us out some cookies and I got two! 🙂 Here’s the whole process in one collage.
What say you?
Would you try this?
Do you have another, practical solution?
