It kind of reflects on different generations, doesn't it? She lived through the Great Depression I'm pretty sure, so it was natural to do things like that to make ends meet. Well, at my class's FPU party (the last night of lessons) we had it at someone's house. When she wanted to send home some baked beans with us, I was surprised to find my wife bringing home a sour cream container :). They keep their plastic containers for occasions where they need to send food home with someone and don't want to send tupperware (that they might not get back). What a great idea! That way you don't need to worry about losing tupperware or keeping track of it. That is enough encouragement for me to start keeping some of those.

Maybe he will read this and thank you for the idea!:) BTW - I packaged my chex mix in an old ice cream bucket. Recycle! Oh, Mike should definitely write your name on it next time.
