Day 8: Decluttering 8 More Items

I took a break over the weekend, but I’m hoping to go back and fill in those days retrospectively. For now, I’m moving forward with the current day, which is date eight, and decluttering eight items.

Today I am recycling eight pieces of plastic food storage containers and lids. To be honest, this was very easy as I’ve already replaced the kids lunchboxes, but these needed to go, and I needed an easy way to start my Monday!

Older bento boxes headed for recycling- the seals were disintegrating and the plastic seemed to be breaking down.

This is what I had replaced these containers with, collapsible silicone versions from Aldi. That were only five dollars each:

New bento style / portions lunch containers from Aldi. Collapsible silicone, $5 each; they pay for themselves very quickly, if they keep family members from buying lunch at work or school.

That’s a wrap! Day 8 of the Minimalist Challenge done.
