Do you save leftovers?

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?

    Well, we save the leftovers and usually eat them one time. Unfortunately though if there is much left it doesn't get eaten and ends up going to the dogs.

    I always save leftovers. In this day in age you need to make every dollar count and streching your food budget is part of that

    I save leftovers for lunch or if I am busy I am not pressued to cook when something is ready to eat in the fridge. Plus y family loves my cooking sometimes they want the same thing several days in a row.

    When my husband and I cook we always cook enough to take for our lunches the next day.

    Yes I save leftovers. Food is too expensive to throw it out. Alot of foods are better the next day, like potato salad, chili, vegetable soup. I save alot on groceries by stretching food out this way.

    My IDEA is cook it once, eat it twice. ;)

    We save leftovers and also freeze them when suitable, great for future meals.

    When you're tired of cooking everyday for years, the trick is cook more and eat it for 2 or 3 days. Its great not to have to cook every day, any more. Plus my grandchildren or grown children are always stopping in and the first place they go is to the fridge. Very rarely do we throw out anything.

    My hubby travels a lot so I don't make a full meal very often. When I do I purposely make extra so I have some for lunches or quick things to feed my boys. I love most leftovers especially pasta, chinese and mexican! Sometimes things don't get eaten, but that is rare in our house, dear hubby will eat anything!
