This garbage bowl encourages me to make veggies and salads because it makes it fun to chop them and put the garbage in the bowl. No more running back and forth to throw out the garbage, so it simplifies the whole chopping process.   I think in general it's overpriced, but I got a great deal on Wayfair.  I really am surprised just how much I love this bowl.  It holds a lot, too, so you can put your whole meal's garbage in it and then dispose of it all at once.
