Condiments can make any dish taste better instantly and the great part is that you can get small packets for free or el cheapo from restaurants, deli's, fast food places, or takeout. Go ahead and dedicate a box or bag to hoard all of the little packets of useful stuff somewhere where you can access them when you are packing your food for trips. Here are some things that are good to hold on to and are pretty common to find:
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Mayo
- Relish
- Barbeque Sauce
- Hot Sauce
- Soy Sauce
- Salad Dressing Packets
- Special Sauces
- Jelly/Jam
- Honey
- Lemon Juice
- Coffee Creamer
- Sugar/artificial sweetener
- Salt/Pepper packets
If you want to avoid the lag time in collecting these packets or can't find some of them that you want or need I have found that this site is great and has all of those mentioned and then some. I especially like their peanut butter packets!
