    I pretty much always save leftovers for my next day's lunch. But, if I don't eat it within 2 days... out in the garbage it goes!

    I usually cook extra just to have leftovers for lunch.

    We always save leftovers. My husband or son usually are the ones to eat them, but thats ok, no food going to waste here! With only one paycheck and a teen boy with friends in and out 24/7, any food seems to evaporate into thin air within seconds.

    Every dollar counts in our household...I don't mind eating leftovers, I love my cooking!

    I prefer not to throw away food especially with the food prices going up these days. I try to only have enough leftovers to take to work the next day and that eliminates having left over food in the house over 2 days.

    I usually don't have too much if any left over to save.

    Food is becoming too expensive to waste. I save left overs and we don't mind eating it again. Some things, like spaghetti, taste better the next day anyway!

    I always save leftovers. In fact, I frequently make extra so I don't have to cook EVERY day! (there's only hubby and me)

    I always save leftovers. I was taught to "waste not, want not"!

    I always save leftovers. Sometimes they taste better the second day, than they did on the first.
