When I was growing-up, my family would (and frequently still DOES) use product-containers to store leftovers (butter-tubs, yogurt-bowls, etc.) ...
We were (and still are, I guess) a middle-class family, so it was/is kinda necessary to 'stretch our money.'
We're still middle-class, and I don't foresee any massive income-boost to shoot us into the upper class; but I've heard that one way to help 'beckon' that boost is "to start living like you're rich."
And one way to do that would be to 'throw away' those product-containers & only keep your leftovers in Tupperware!

I don't agree. Many super rich people are stingy although they don't have to be (any more). I use quite a lot of empty containers and have never had a sleepless night because of this. Should anyone comment on this habit in a negative way (which won't happen because I don't know such stupid people), he or she would get an earful from me!

hmm ... maybe I should make it 'buy so much Tupperware that you don't have ROOM to keep those other containers!'

@mythociate I don't understand your problem with 'those other containers'..
Have you got relatives or friends who - when you invite them to your home - check your fridge for the wrong kind of containers??

@MALUSE No.
I imagine it's a lot like 'when guys wear cologne.' Sure, they're TOLD they do it "to make them smell good"; but ... would YOU choose 'a man who smells like cologne' over 'a man who doesn't smell at all'?
The point is that they do it more for 'their own self-confidence' than 'to make sure everyone knows.'

I am going plastic free in my kitchen as much as possible. It's not fully possible. So, no Tupperware for me. I would use the glass containers. All my containers are now glass and steel. And many of these glasses are bottles of tomato sauces and jams. If it's a good plastic container, I would use it for storing other things but not food.

I'm too much a klutz to keep things in glass-containers ... I'm not careful enough; I'd drop about half of them within 5 years.

@mythociate Oh! I see. I always had them. My daughters were young when they started working in the kitchen as they were interested in cooking and baking. And they were pretty careful handling them at such young age. Only once my elder daughter dropped a glass bottle. It was an accident.
