When it comes to storing leftovers in Cool Whip bowls, butter bowls, and even Tupperware (or Rubbermaid dishes), I am sure others have had the same problem in their household as I do. Family members have excuses like, "I can't see what is in the bowl" or "I didn't want to take the time to open the dish".
I decided after numerous occasions of throwing out what started out to be perfectly good leftovers, to remedy this problem. I bought a roll of masking tape and a marker at the dollar store and now I write on the tape what is in the bowl or dish and the date it was put in the refrigerator and tape it to the lid. Everyone in my house can now identify the previously unidentified leftovers and I have a lot less waste.
