5 Storage Containers You
Should Never Throw Away
Sure, it seems as if that stack of plastic containers is about to topple over, but maybe that just means you haven't figured out all the things you can use them for. Maybe you need even more! Consider these possibilities.
- Five-gallon ice cream containers. Use them to hold dry cereal, flour, and sugar to keep those foods fresh longer. Also use them to store partial bags of brown sugar, powered sugar, coconut, and nuts.
- Artificial whipped topping containers. Use these to solve those medium-size storage problems, such as how to freeze strawberries. One of these will hole two or three servings of leftovers, depending on your appetite.
- Glass jars. Some spaghetti sauces and other prepared foods come in glass jars. Reuse these to carry soups and sauces to potluck dinners. They also make great containers for gift foods.
- Sixteen-ounce cottage cheese containers. One of these will hold a large serving of vegetable soup or a generous serving of a casserole.
- Baby food jars. They'll hold everything from vinaigrette for potluck salads to metal cake decorating tips for your pastry bags.
