The book Chemistry on a Budget contains inexpensive chemistry labs that are useful with easy to obtain materials.
 
There are two versions of each lab, one with a ten-question conclusion and one with directions for a full lab report.  This way the teacher has the option!  Each lab is two pages to allow for one two-sided handout. 
 
A 5-Star Customer Review of Chemistry on a Budget at amazon.com states:
“[S]traight forward, to the point, using household chemicals…this is the lab book for you. 
I teach high school chemistry and this is exactly what i was looking for. Labs included simple household chemicals that could be easily found. Nice format, easy to follow along procedures, and touches on every topic of our chemistry curriculum.”

“By official data, the average daily consumption of hot drinks amounts to 2.5 billion cups, of which almost one third are sold in disposable cups and the tendency is for that share to increase due to the busier everyday life. Respectively that means generation of hundreds of tons of non-degradable refuse and clearing of millions of trees. “

“The [Cupffee] wafer cup is made mainly from natural grain products. It is nature [friendly, fantastically] delicious and crispy and is suitable not only for coffee but for all kinds of hot and cold drinks and for every other thing your imagination can create! “
 
“In concept, edible fast-food containers could appeal to consumers on several levels…
But this is mostly aimed at environmentally-minded Millennials, who want products and packaging to leave a smaller footprint. There's a huge market for new packaging technologies that are better for the environment.

Last year, Stonyfield, the environmentally conscious organic yogurt maker, took its first baby step towards ultimately eliminating the plastic yogurt container. It rolled out a product dubbed Stonyfield Frozen Yogurt Pearls -- frozen yogurt sold inside edible, fruit-flavored packaging skins -- at a handful of Whole Foods stores in the Boston area.

One environmentalist group says it's a potential fan of edible packaging. The U.S. has an overall recycling rate of 34.5% and 51% rate of packaging recycling -- much lower than many other developed countries…”

A more expensive option has been a chocolate-dipped waffle cone:
“Alfred Coffee & Kitchen on Melrose Place in Los Angeles is selling a chocolate-dipped waffle cone coffee cup called the Alfred Cone. …It's a 4-ounce waffle cone dipped in milk chocolate (just the rim), used as a cup for either an espresso or macchiato. The cones are $5 in addition to whatever drink you buy with it.”

“For coffee lovers: What’s the only thing that would make your favorite cup of espresso or macchiato better? If that cup were an edible waffle cone triple-dipped in chocolate, of course.
Alfred Coffee & Kitchen in Los Angeles recently started selling these edible waffle cups off a secret menu – customers need to say they want the “Alfred cone” to get one. …
Lawson says they sell about 50 to 70 Alfred cones a day. An espresso costs $8 and a macchiato costs $9.”
