    That wasn't even all of it- that's just the stuff I washed in the bathroom sink so it doesn't stink by the time I get home at 1030.

    grumble- I HATE doing dishes. And I have no dishwasher.

    OMG yes, the never ending washing of clear containers will be the death of me. Beats cleaning out fastfood wrappers out of my car :wink:

    It could be worse. My new job has a canteen and no staff fridge (I work in the chill FFS!) so I can't prep anymore. It's a lottery everyday - and it's usually bad.

    No wonder scottish are thought of as unhealthy, I have not seen a vegetable in there yet!

    Just saw my giant size picture is cut off... Can only see half. I think I had 8 today.

    Whatever small price to pay!

    I have a cupboard full of plastic containers and it annoys the crap out of my husband because he can never find the matching lids. Unfortunately for him I like to use tupperware because they are such good quality and don't leak. Really wish my kids wouldn't use tupperware for playing in the garden with though.

    Maybe try using baggies? As long as you don't mind throwing things away. For example; I usually have greek yogurt with berries and maybe granola. I'll take the yogurt in it's container and then the granola and berries in baggies and then mix it together. Obviously wouldn't work with everything, but could help a little.



    Edited because I used the wrong word...

    Wrap what you can in tin foil/plastic wrap and throw it away when you finish. *ducks flying objects from the tree huggers* Ok, ok, RECYCLE when you finish.

    Ohhh I have a whole drawer just for lids. Best idea I have ever come up with, use to drive me bonkers!

    I bought bigger lunch pails to accommodate the containers. I also wipe them out with a napkin rather than "wash" them in the bathroom sink. I agree that using baggies can save space... oh, and if I am taking, say, granola all week, I can use the baggie all week. I don't wash/reuse the following week, but that's 4 fewer baggies in the landfill!
