Plastic Storage Containers

From About.com

To heck with store-bought plastic storage containers. My husband and I have been saving plastic yogurt, take-out Chinese food soup containers, old plastic ice cream tubs. You name it. Over the years we've accumulated quite a variety of great storage containers that work perfectly well in the freezer, fridge, lunches, basically anywhere you would use a storage container. I have probably 3-4 pieces of actual hand-me-down Tupperware and the rest are "saver-specials", as I call them. They might not match and color coordinate but they work quite well and save lots of money. - Submitted by Jennifer
