How Long Do You Keep Leftovers?

At my house if they don't get eaten the next day they are thrown out. It all depends on what it is but for the most part I am not a big fan of leftovers. If I don't eat it the day that I cook it then I usually don't eat it the next day. I try not to overcook so that I don't have a lot of waste. It really bothers me to throw food out when I know there are so many out there who are starving and would give anything for a home cooked meal or any meal for that matter.
 
I store my leftovers in plastic containers with lids. I try not to store any food in pots or pans unless I have no choice. On ocasion I use ziplock bags or aluminum foil.
