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?

    I always save left overs. Unless its something I no that will taste nasty the second time around. Most leftovers go into my children's or hubby's lunch box the next day. I also will cook alot of food just to get left overs. Like spaghetti sauce or chili. I then freeze it for a meal that's needed in a hurry. Its cheaper than having to go out to eat and its still home cooked!!

    We rarely have leftovers, but when we do, yeah we eat them. Sometimes, we create a new meal with the leftovers, so actually it's like a new dish. For instance a roast with potates, onions & carrots, becomes bar-b-que sandwiches the next night.

    I do not like to cook! Anything I don't have to make is a good deal. I don't mind cleaning up.

    I usually order out, so when I do cook, which is like 1nce a week, I make a lot, and may probably save it for the next day, if there aren't enough people to feed. Lol.

    Absolutely, I hate when I go out to eat and don't have leftovers

    Leftovers usually mean I won't have to cook the next night. But I can't handle something more than 2 days old.

    I like to save the food because most of the time we eat it--or should I say I eat it--for lunch the next day. But I also hate the fact that it takes up all this space in my fridge!

    With prices constantly going up, I try to economize in any way possible. I either freeze leftovers, or try to be creative with them the next day!

    I always save leftovers. They may not taste as good but it saves money. I usually only make enough for supper but sometimes I will have leftovers.

    We do not want to waste the food and of course, some foods taste better next day...
