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

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

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