Tupperware is much better than plastic bags! A plastic bag is usually thrown away after one use. Tupperware sandwich containers can be bought for a little more money but, in the long run, last longer. A Tupperware container, if looked after, can be used 6500 time over and over again. The water needed to clean your Tupperware is still better than plastic bags.
