If you freeze it and eat it later that's called meal prep.

The accidental LPT is always in the comments
If you freeze it and forget about it and instead buy another freezer to store more frozen food, that's called hording.
Tupperware?!? In this household we wash the plastic takeout containers and reuse them for years until the become brittle and shatter.
If you are still doing that, don't do it. Those takeout containers leak microplastics like crazy
Don't tupperware leak as well?
I mean, unless you use some sort of glass container or metallic, you're eating microplastics.
Basically not / barely anything
Do you have any source for this information? If they're plastic containers, they probably leak aa well.
I've heard that they do, but for certain it must be less than re-using takeout containers.
I, myself, I've been avoiding all plastics and using strictly glass where possible
What do you call Tupperware? I thought any plastic container for food is that. Not necessarily newly bought.
Tupperware is a brand. Calling all containers Tupperware is like calling all tissue paper Kleenex or all cotton swabs Q-Tips. Sure, many people do that, but it's not correct.
Also, Tupperware is expensive.
Kleenex is actually now the correct term according to the dictionary since it's so commonly used.
Same thing happened to Trampoline. Trampoline was the brand. The generic name is rebound tumbler.
Velcro, Hoover (in the UK), Band-Aid; there are tons of them. I'd say Tupperware is at that level, even if not officially so. I'd even argue Coke is - even if I know a palce only does Pepsi, I'm still going to ask for a Coke.
There are parts of the US where they use soda; parts that use pop; and parts that use coke. In the latter, the following conversation is normal:
Server: what kind of coke would you like?
Me: root beer.
Being from a "soda" location, this conversation makes my brain do a double take.
This is quite common in some languages. In Dutch they call plaster plates gyproc, tilt windows velux, a stick of glue pritt and there are countless other examples where an item is named, if not officially at least commonly, after a brand. And of course, also kleenex.
That's hilarious.
Eh. Even genericized, tupperware is still only containers that are intended to be reused
Or call acetylated salicylate an aspirin.
In the Midwest, the fancy Tupperware is cool whip containers
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Plastic food containers that are intended to be reused are tupperware; containers that are intended to be disposable are not
So, is this JoMiran or the micropladtics speaking?
We use butter and cool whip bowls.
Where i from, some of us call it tupperware too, every plastic container is tupperware.
I'm too cheap to throw it out. So my role in the house is to eat all the leftovers before they go bad
A few years ago I had a roommate who just did not give a fuck about food never found enjoyment in it. All the leftovers went to him he'd vacuum up anything completely neutrally. I miss him
It's me, I'm that roommate.
Well to be honest, I do enjoy and appreciate tasty food. But I don't mind eating plain bland food (as long as it isn't disgusting). I don't really have a high bar. If it's edible, in it goes
You wouldn't happen to live in the Seattle area and have a roommate opening in like a year would you?
Same. My folks never eat leftovers. I patrol the fridge each day and assemble a cast of weird and wonderful characters to have for lunch at work.
My friends call me "the city council". Whenever we go eat at restaurants, my job is to clean out everyone's leftovers. I love it
The joys of having children eventually. Leftovers are just meal prep for lunch the next day!
Establishing a leftovers night is the way to go though.
Sometimes I have even thrown it out with the tupperware because it's gotten so bad that opening that container would probably poison everything in a 100m radius.
You can freeze the bad ones (mark it as bad in case you forget about it) then dump it as one big block and take the trash out before it thaws.
Genius
If you wait long enough, it will throw itself away.
in my experience its best to ooen those into the compost directly
I call the bottom shelf of my grandmothers fridge the petri dish for this exact reason.
Constantly puts shit in tupperware, puts it down there, and forgets about it until i find it, and by then its become its own microscopic ecosystem.
And I still eat it - unsweetened cotton candy and all
This is how new superheros are born
This is also what keeps life expectancy lower.
Am I the only one who thinks leftovers make the best breakfasts?
This happens every time because there is something else in the fridge that needs to be cooked so it won't spoil. Then you eat the new dish instead of the old one since you just made it and the old one goes bad....
Yeah, it's pretty much like that.
Still, most leftovers are eaten... at least in our household.
But then you keep cooking new stuff because you don't want to touch the x-day-old food that you're not interested anymore and want something freshly cooked to eat. You'll get around to it evenshoely, for shooor
I feel seen.
My mother once bypasses the refrigerator part and accidentally put leftovers in the cupboard over the oven. After a week or two, the smell had us thinking something crawled into the oven vent from outside and died. It took me noticing something bubbling up from between two casserole dishes to realize what happened.
