Virginia Zaunbrecher 2/08/2023 11:05 AMMy first attempt at getting rid of single use packaging for school snacks wasn't totally successful because my 3rd grader didn't reliably return the container. My mom had a few used carry out containers laying around, and now we're giving those a try. Paired with snacks from the bulk aisle, I think we might have a winner! -
