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?

    My Husband and I are very good about eating left overs. I often try to add something to them thought to make them taste a little different.

    I have a very large family to feed, and if we actually have any leftovers, I will definately save them because food is so expensive and I hate to have good food go to waste.

    Well, I actually ALWAYS save our left overs and honestly-they almost ALWAYS get eaten. My husband usually takes them for lunch the next day. It does depend on how they are stored, though. Some containers keep foor fresher longer!

    If I know we'll be able to eat them in the next day or two, otherwise, I just end up throwing it out anyway.

    I am afraid of getting food poisoning, I read were when folks get ill its not the stomach flu but food poisoning from leftovers. I know-not logical but there is no way I will eat leftovers.

    Yep - you bet. Sometimes I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch the next day because dinner was sooooooo good.

    I save the leftovers if it is something that will reheat well. If it is something that will go mushy (i.e. a salad with dressing) or if I question how well it will keep, out it goes so I don't end up with experiments in my fridge :-)
