We reuse and recycle everything we can! Use them until you can't any longer.... then put in recyle bin! We make wonderful fancy lunches at home and put them into take out containers and they are much better than the "store bought" meals. We have had people ask where we bought our meals to go..... The answer: Home Sweet Home!

    Wash and air dry reuseable containers. Store until needed.

    When a meal to go is needed, decide what container is best for the job!
  • Notice the aluminum tray under the fruit? This tray has been used for 2 years worth of birthday parties, graduations and potlucks!
