I recycle cottage cheese and sour cream containers to freeze bulk purchases of ground beef in. I have discovered that 1 lb. of ground beef fits in a 16 oz. container. I have also found that ground beef frozen in a circle (like the container) thaws much more quickly (especially in the microwave!) than if I freeze it flat in rectangles in a freeze bag.

I too use cottage cheese containers for freezing bulk homemade salsa, humuus, refried beans, etc.
Is #2 plastic any better than #5?

I use them for individual hamburgers, just put freezer paper between the patties. You can make and freeze about 8 hamburg patties in each one.

I also use the lids from cat food bottles, (Deli Cat, etc) for storing my scratch pad on the back of the sink. One side opens so you can put that edge over the sink and the water runs out into the sink and you always know where your scratch pad is. I use the stainless steel ones and they always have a good spot to drain.
