Paper plates.
I am still looking for ways to simplify my life on a budget. I know that washing plates is more economical than buying paper or plastic, but this is one of those times when I have to weigh the cost with the headache. I don't have a dishwasher, and a really small kitchen and it's just too time consuming to have to wash dishes 3 times a day. And let's be real, I'm doing good washing dishes once a day, let alone 3 times. So I've decided to go disposable for dinner and to use as few dishes as possible for breakfast and lunch. We can eat sandwiches off of paper towels instead of plates, reuse juice cups at lunch instead of getting a new one. It's a simple idea, definitely wonder why I never thought of it before, but I look forward to fewer migranes as a result.
