The chicken soup in a microwavable bowl, I don't know why, but it just looks a bit too "plasticky" to me to be putting in a microwave. Don't you think? (ackk can you say.. cancer?) The BYOB is a good idea, or maybe at work, people could donate some bowls, cutlery, and cups for shared use. mmm i love all your recipes, they look so delicious and easy to make.

My wife was a huge component of why we always purchased for convenience (I am the planner, she's more spontaneous), but after six years together, we finally have it under control. I absolutely hate having to pay more for something just because it's easier or faster. Sometimes, there's simply no choice...and I'm fine with that. But when we can help it, we plan ahead--in this case it's just soup, but we've saved much more on big-ticket items utilizing the same policy. P.S. Happy to have discovered your blog!

But I agree with you, especially when it comes to soup. Save some trash that would fill up the landfills by using a reusable bowl or container! :) I’d say at least 30% of our money spent is on things that are “more convenient.” But I agree with you, especially when it comes to soup.
