Hmmm. I think back to my old lunch boxes in Grade School. What damage did Snoopy Doo?

One of my co-workers brings a ziplock baggie with a salad every day. I should do something similar with the glass storage containers we have.

I save a lot of jars and bottles to serve as food storage. Both for dry goods and for “tupperware” purposes.
