Some people can't stand them! Others wouldn't think of wasting them! Do you save leftovers? Does it depend on who makes the food, how good it is or whether you'll be food shopping anytime soon?

We finish all our left overs around here. It wasn't something that I did when we got married, but he is from a large family in the midwest and food wasn't something you took for granted. And you certainly don't waste food either. So, I've gotten pretty good at using and re-using leftovers over these last 20 years.
Husband takes in lunch bucket for work.
My family always takes leftover for lunch.
My husband and I "Eat Clean" so we make lots of planned leftovers so we have meals for the next day or two. Works great for us!
Waste not want not. Food cost too much to just throw away.I love leftovers. It makes my meal planning easy too.
I prepare only what we will eat. I Don't like left over's unless it's something that taste better the second or third time around -like soup.
i have a large family so i am always saving leftovers
I am usually the one who eats the leftovers, unless of course our college student comes home. I save containers of chili and casseroles so that he doesn't put us in the poor house during his stay! The perfect situation would be if I could ship them in his care packages!
i always cook more to have leftovers, and sometimes freeze additional portions
I either freeze them for another meal in a few weeks or eat them for lunch over the next few days. Dh usually takes them for lunch.
