It may seem like common sense to most of us, but you’d be amazed at how many people I see filling up courts, pizza places, and McDonalds every lunch hour, buying their $10-$15 lunches and throwing away the , grease covered cardboard and styrofoam containers minutes later. I’d take homemade leftover lasagna over slimey deep fried “beef” burgers any day!

I from home so have no need to brown bag my lunch (wouldn’t that make me a weirdo though) but I do have a plethora of reusable cloth bags from a number of places like Loblaws, Loeb, Shoppers Drugmart, Greenstop, Canadian Tire, and even a four-slot wine tote from the LCBO. And I use them all the time! Why would you even want to carry plastic if you can use those nice, comfortable cloth handles instead? Brilliant things.

I used to eat out all the time and I spent at least $15 a meal. I now eat at for 2 meals a day(I at a restaurant and eat for free) and usually go somewhere for dinner and it costs me maybe $20 including a tip. On the weekends, I eat breakfast and lunch at home and my boyfriend buys me dinner[:)] That saves me soooo much money!!

I really need to on getting some more meals for free, myself! :P But until then, I’m happy to make a bit extra at supper time and stock up on the reusable storage containers. There’s no easier way to make the guy in the cubicle next to you jealous than to pull out a homemade extra cheese lasagna, a caesar salad, and dinner rolls — no waiting in line, no carrying around cash, no putting on your coat, even! Mmmmmm environmentally friendly.
