Welcome. As others have said dual purpose items are great.
My favorite are a set of 5 nesting stainless steel bowls, each with a snap lid. Mixing bowls, food prep and food storage, all in a compact set.
We have enough silverware, plates, cups for a 3 day weekend. Dishes go in the sink until back home for the dishwasher. Who wants to wash dishes when you are away relaxing.
