Re: Do you keep condiments from take-out meals?

I keep some a d throw them in a stir fry for some extra flavor. I have to watch my salt , but a little does the trick.

I only keep Arby’s sauce, Taco Bell Fire sauce, and any honey mustard sauce or dressing.

NO.  And I throw away most makeup samples too.  They are both a noxious source of clutter!

They’re great for picnics, bag lunches and I hand them out for Halloween.

Yes, keep some of them in a small container in the fridge. Husband likes some of them on his eggs. Don't keep them for a long time.

If a wrapped plastic set of fork and knife or spoon gets thrown into a take-out meal bag, those are worth saving, I think.

 

If my dishwasher ever goes bust and we have to switch to disposable paper plates and flatware, those restaurant giveaways can come in handy.

 

Take it from a woman who has had some poor experiences with  dishwashers, and how long it can take to get a new one installed.  Hand-washing dishes and utensils is a real pain.

Re: Do you keep condiments from take-out meals?

i generally keep them.

 

i put them in a lock and lock container and keep them in our garage refrigerator.

they come in handy when we run out of condiments OR when i make my own chinese food.

 

yes, i keep the plastic utensils also. they come in handy on the beach or for outdoor picnics/events.

Re: Do you keep condiments from take-out meals?

I only keep the condiments I can use, like the malt vinegar and tartar sauce from Long John Silver and the horsey sauce from Arbys.  I have them in a plastic container on the top shelf of the refrigerator.  I keep an eye on them so I don't get overrun like I once did.

Taco Bell mild sauce and, not really condiment, fortune cookies.
