Eliminating Plastic: Part 1 - In the Fridge
I know I’m not the only one who dislikes plastic, so I thought it might be interesting to share ideas and compare notes with those of like minds. Step by step I’ve been looking at the ways I use plastic and then considering what I might doing differently. I’ll start with one of the areas I’ve already made some progress with – storing food in the the refrigerator.
When I was a little girl, my grandmother didn’t use tupperware to store her leftovers, rather she put them in bowls and used what looked like shower caps to cover the bowls. I figured out that plates and saucers were even better, because I could stack the bowls and save room.

I found clear glass saucers at a thrift shop and really like them for a quick peek at what’s inside the bowl. Clear glass bowls are good for that too. For larger quantities, I use larger bowls with plates.
I also like wide-mouth canning jars and glass peanut butter jars for storing leftovers.
Another idea: Fern (Thoughts from Frank and Fern) makes reusable food wraps. Click here for how she does that. Her post includes a lot of good links.
I still have some plastic storage containers, but as they break I don’t buy more. Instead I’m looking for more ways to eliminate plastic. How about you? Have you thought of ways to not use plastic containers to store food in the fridge? I’d love to hear about them!
