    well I never, someone's gone and invented Tupperware to put your sandwiches in, MSE has entered the Time Tunnel, the year is 1946.

    join us for next weeks episode, Sponge on a stick.

    lining roasting tins with foil/greaseproof saves an age of scrubbing, wasted water, soap, and tin, which is why it sells

    No problem, feel free to 'bump' and encourage everyone to recycle as much as you like ... but it doesn't make much difference as we've still got the same rolls of aluminium foil & cling film that we had 2 years ago!

    #Note to self: must attempt to use&waste more so that we can recycle more often! ... :D;)

    I almost never use either. I have reusable plastic wraps with velcro on that I use instead of clingfilm, or I use reusable tupperware to put items which need clingfilm on, into. I do the same for tin foil. I still have some in the kitchen because I haven't thrown the last batch out, but I don't think I've bought new for either in about four years.

    We have two cookie jars (I think), one has used food/kitchen plastic bags in it, the other is full of these:

    Klippits Food Storage & Sealing Bag Clips

    You just pop 'the stuff' in a bag, new or old, then clip it shut. When 'the stuff' has been used, the bag (if not broken, or spoiled (has some food in it from say cheese)), gets shoved back in the cookie jar.

    The clips simply last forever.

    Hi

    We have loads of them too ... most of ours are usually stored in the freezer though ....
