Permanent Partyware - July 2018
I have been organising my son's birthday party. With many friends having little ones, I thought it was a good idea to invest in some durable plastic ware (bowls, plates and cups) from the $2 stores to use long term. I wanted to get some children's cutlery that was stainless steel and dishwashable. I ended up buying teaspoons and cake forks which are the right size and would work well for the purpose.

Editor's note: We had a box of party supplies when the children were younger (I passed it onto a friend with young children a couple of years ago). In it we had plastic picnic sets I bought for $2 each in blue, yellow, green and pink. I also kept plastic serving trays, serviettes, banners, candles, sheets I used as tablecloths etc. in the box. When it was time for a party, everything was already to go. The initial cost was around $30, but over the years, with three parties a year, it saved us spending a lot more on disposable plates, glasses, cutlery, serviettes and tablecloths. I estimate that over 15 years we saved at least $30 a year, or around $450. Cath
