Ultra processed foods, do you eat them, avoid them, or limit them?

It went into my shopping cart for my pickup order tomorrow at Walmart (Great Value cheese melt I think it's called?) because I don't feel like navigating Aldi on a Sunday.

Correction: great Value Melt and Dip.

That's it. I hate the way it dries out after it's opened despite my attemps at sealing it so I end up using it pretty quick. Always an opened one in the fridge and another in the cabinet.

I have a rectangle Tupperware container that was made for it. No idea where I got that thing, I think my DH's mom or grandma gave it to me about 25 years ago. It does the job.

Most of my containers are Pyrex. I don't think DG has this specialty container. I don't think Pyrex does, either. This Tupperware container is just a hair larger than a 2 lb Velveeta loaf so it fits perfectly.

I have Glasslock mostly but as they wear out I just don't spend money like I used to.

Yeah glass containers keep food fresh longer.

How do they wear out? Is it the lid? My Pyrex has silicone lids I think. Still working.

That's one good thing about the Pyrex, then. I bought some of it years ago and it's still going strong since there are no hingest to break.

That article made me want to go to Burger King and get a bacon cheeseburger.

I like those too! Out west it's called Carl's Jr., from California, and over here it's called Hardee's, from N. Carolina. When I was driving a service van Carl's Jr. or BK were a go to for lunch. Now I just get a pound of ground beef and Pippi and I have "monster burgers", we're bypassing the bread and everything...

I have pyrex dishes with hinged lids (for dog food) they have been used and dishwashered daily for 3 years now and show no signs of wear but then that is only 3 years so time will tell 😬🤞

I recently bought some stainless steel ones cos they offered the best resistance to leaking if knocked about in a bag and I’m really pleased with them but the drawback is although they're oven proof they don’t go in the microwave. Theres always a compromise it seems.
