Here’s an easy way to always have a takeaway container with you when you go out to eat, plus a shopping bag for those unexpected trips to the store:

Keep a few containers in a reusable grocery bag in your car. Then you’ll always have a container when needed, plus a shopping tote. (How many times have you stopped to pick up a few items and realized your bags are at home?)

Bonus points for always putting your reusable containers and bags back in the car as soon as you’ve washed your container or unloaded your groceries. Make it a habit and you’ll be all set for your next meal or errand.
