This may not go over well, but I have been getting rid of all my plastics. Instead, I have been saving all the glass pickle jars, jam jars, etc. I just didn't like throwing out all that glass. We are now a 2 person household, my husband and I. The Mt. Olive jars are just right for us. They hold a 2 serving amount of spaghetti sauce or beans. I cook a pound of dried beans and fill up jars and freeze. I wind up with 6 to 8 ready-made dinners. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for reading.

I have also been replacing "tupperware" with glass. It is healthier and glass does not need to be replaced from being damaged in the microwave every couple of years.
I agree! I never, ever cook anything in the microwave in plastic. I use only glass or ceramic. I also have my favorite glass jars for saving foods. I even bought ceramic jars for dry cat food as well and stopped storing any food in plastic.
Great idea! I also found that the parmesan cheese jar tops (the green ones) fit my Ball jars and other canning jars. Comes in handy for sprinkling...also plastic (sorry) screw tops from mayo jars will work also. Isn't this fun? Learn something new each day!
My dishes are Corelle ware which is glass and I use it in the microwave. I think your idea for switching to glass containers for storage is great!
