Using Plastic Butter Containers for Leftovers

If you save the empty plastic containers from butter, yogurt, etc, use a permanent marker to put an X or some other mark on the lid so you can tell at a glance what really is butter and what is probably leftovers.

Makes throwing spoiled leftovers away alot easier too......just toss the whole container without any extra cost of buying new....

Reuse Margarine Containers for Leftovers

When I purchase margarine, I buy the one that comes in two small containers, 1/2 lb. in each. They make great containers for leftovers. I just write on the lid what it contains with a black sharpie. Works great.
