[pct-l] Food - A system...

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

That's a good system you described. I have found that a lot of the  
ingredients I like for the dinners that I like to eat are available  
in any grocery store, so to answer the "where were the baggies"  
question, I reused my bags over and over and over again. I only threw  
away the ones that absolutely couldn't be reused. I made every  
attempt as I cooked my meals to preserve as many bags and rubber  
bands as possible. Just a thought for other tightwads like me. My  
main concern was that, just like it bugs me to pay someone to have a  
place to sleep, it bugs me to have to pay for empty plastic bags.  
Most of my food already came in a plastic bag, so why the heck didn't  
they put it in a GOOD plastic bag to begin with and save me having to  
throw out something I don't want and can't use again? I'm just weird  
that way, though.
