Revisiting the Idea of Reusing Butter Wrappers:

Use Butter Wrappers to Grease Cooking Pans

I know you are thinking, “can’t she just throw some things away”. Well, actually, no I can’t. At least not without thinking hard about any potential uses the item might have.

 

When baking I set the butter (or margarine) wrappers aside and use them to grease the pans. If what I am preparing does not require a greased pan, I place the butter wrapper in a plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator for future use.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
