Freeze Leftover Liquids in Empty Water Bottles

To save leftover broth or juice that is about to expire, or any sauces or juices that you want to save; use your empty water bottles. This will work great for Thanksgiving, when you are making broth from the very last remnants of the turkey. Use some now, and save the rest for later. Empty water bottles, empty coolwhip containers, milk or juice jugs, virtually anything will work.

Cut off the top of a bottle of soda, milk, water or whatever to use as a funnel to make it super-easy. Leave enough room since liquids expand a bit when they are frozen.

It's also a great way to keep containers out of the landfills.

Reusing is a really good idea, although reusing plastic is now thought to be really bad.
