Today we have a very special edition of Cheapskate Tuesday, I hope you like it.
I bake a lot for people, but get frustrated when they don't return my expensive Tupperware. Fairweather did once and it was mouldy. Realizing that Tupperware was not the way to go, I decided to use Ziploc bags. Ziploc let me down. Big time. Imagine having a crush on a guy and baking for him. Imagine something bad happens to that baking in the car. Imagine handing the guy a bag of broken bits of creepiness. This is not effective. Don't try it.
So, while I was on the plane earlier this year, I had an Epiphany. I decided to use those handy (and free) barf bags to put my cookies in and give them to people. Brilliant! The cookies stack perfectly in there and don't shuffle around getting broken. The bag stands up by itself, is easily resealable, and looks similar to the cookie packages in the store (minus Air Canada or West Jet written on the side). No more lost Tupperware or creepy cookie bits. And best of all, it comes with it's own joke that I like to write on the side: "Careful not to toss your cookies."
