Cheap Shower Caps for Food Covers
By

I would only use food safe plastic covers. In other words, bowl covers that were specifically made to come in contact with food. You can save money by buying them at a "dollar store" or other discount store.
I have been buying shower caps from the dollar store. You can get 15 caps for $1.00. They are great for covering bowls you put in the refrigerator and cheaper than aluminum foil. I also keep my stand mixer bowl covered with a shower cap so I don't have to rinse it every time I want to use it. This works great!

I keep the free shower caps at hotels and sometimes the maids will give you a few extra. I also buy hair perm caps at a salvage store. I use these to cover bowls for leftovers instead of buying the bowl covers at the store.
Source: I came up with this one my self because I was out of handy wrap and I remembered the shower caps. It worked great.

I just bought a package of 25 clear shower caps for $1 at the dollar store. I use them to cover large bowls of leftover foods. I don't have to wash an extra storage container since I use the container that the food was served in. One cap can be used over and over again. When the food is gone, I just have to wash the bowl, pot, or whatever it was in and not worry about looking for containers and matching lids.
