Greenspree has come up with another wonderful article this one is about his journey towards a waste free and cheap lunch.

Over the last year my wife and I have been trying to overcome a serious and expensive habit. Eating out for lunch! We moved from a downtown apartment two blocks from our work to her folks place 26km from town. Before we would simply walk home for lunch, get something from the fridge, eat and head back to the office. No longer having that convenient option available to us we had gotten into the habit of meeting for lunch somewhere and paying 15-20 a day!

This had to stop so we decided we would start bringing our lunches to work. At first we would bring sandwiches in baggies, instant soup in disposable bowls, yogurt in disposable cups, some fruit or sometime veggies in another baggie and put them in a grocery bag. This inevitably led to much cost savings but much more waste. Our meal may have only cost us $4 but we were throwing out two containers, a baggie or two, grocery bag and whatever compost was left over. We started getting irritated at this and decided to look for solutions.
