Dear women on twitter: why does my wife feel compelled to save every freaking sour cream and cool whip container?

11:20AM Mon, November 21 2011

@pinkelephantpun

You always need them for something!! I have tons of them.

11:20AM Mon, November 21 2011

@Christmas1898 Close to my Hayle Nichole

because her mother does

11:20AM Mon, November 21 2011

Because they make excellent storage compartments and are less expensive than re-buying same size storage.

11:20AM Mon, November 21 2011

@DawnLup Pinetop, AZ

To put Thanksgiving leftovers in? :)

11:20AM Mon, November 21 2011

@grimacetjackson

my mom does it too. they're perfect for storing arts & crafts. apparently.

11:20AM Mon, November 21 2011

you got a good one there buddy! Keep her. Mine throws them away and buys fancy containers

11:21AM Mon, November 21 2011

I feel your pain man... I feel your pain. My wife does the same thing.

@fritter100 Las Vegas

You always think you need extra storage. Maybe, she's a hoarder

11:22AM Mon, November 21 2011

@EWErickson I'm male and I do that! Reuse jars, too. It's called "being frugal"

To store leftovers?

@wjcarswell Gainesville, Ga

Somewhere an idea light bulb just went on at A&E

11:22AM Mon, November 21 2011

They're great for leftovers, and you can give others food in them and not worry about losing the container.

11:22AM Mon, November 21 2011

that is a bad habit- get her a nice set of see thru assorted sizes

11:23AM Mon, November 21 2011

@WidowsStilettos Southern California

Because we're recycling by using them for storage containers for leftovers and it's cheaper than buying containers

11:23AM Mon, November 21 2011

@nikkibama Mobile, Alabama

because she's southern and it's what we do!! We use them for people to take leftovers home in instead of our good stuff

11:23AM Mon, November 21 2011

@LaurieMasterson Fayetteville, AR

because we have need to be able to send people away with left overs and to make sure we have storage materials #livinthedream

We Southern women were the green movement before there was a green movement. We conserve everything.

@FillYerHands Kennesaw GA

I'm not a woman, but have you priced real Tupperware? Hush.

11:25AM Mon, November 21 2011

@jyarber Atlanta

Thanksgiving is on Thursday - perfect size for LEFTOVERS!

11:25AM Mon, November 21 2011

@journoholic Vancouver, BC

It's like free tupperware. We love free stuff!

11:26AM Mon, November 21 2011

Reusable containers.

11:27AM Mon, November 21 2011

@EricStrobel New Market, AL

Would you rather she go to every Tupperware party?

11:31AM Mon, November 21 2011

to put stuff she will cook later in for storage

11:37AM Mon, November 21 2011

@carmstantinople the original 505

11:49AM Mon, November 21 2011

@mcline14 Charlotte, NC

You can never have too many containers.

11:50AM Mon, November 21 2011

For Thanksgiving leftovers, of course!

11:57AM Mon, November 21 2011

@FaithAloneWorks Southern California

Storage? :-)

12:00PM Mon, November 21 2011

@Brandola1 Augusta Ga

Thats a smart woman. Reusing equals saved money from not buying storage containers.

12:08PM Mon, November 21 2011

@sheriewilkie Georgia

lol the old cliche "reduce, re-use, and recycle" thanks to my kids ICarly show this catch phrase will remain w/ me forever. :-)

12:11PM Mon, November 21 2011

Ghetto tupperware lol.

12:36PM Mon, November 21 2011

@GreginRome Rome, Ga

I got mine a big set of Tupperware plastic containers and she still does it

1:18PM Mon, November 21 2011

@ewerickson 31204

same here. It's not like I don't buy tupperware.

1:19PM Mon, November 21 2011

@Gayle_Barton Cumming, GA

Because it is cheaper than buying Tupperware which will eventually get left at the office/school/pot luck. Love her frugality.

1:19PM Mon, November 21 2011

@GreginRome Rome, Ga

think im gonna stop and just buy butter. Might be cheaper

1:20PM Mon, November 21 2011

@kbpadgett Atlanta, GA

DUH, free Tupperware that we don't care if you leave in your work fridge till it cures cancer! #winning

1:39PM Mon, November 21 2011
