myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life10 months ago

You go through a drive thru and get a burger and fries, or salad and parfait, depending on your choice... and they person at the drive thru gives you a handful of napkins with your meal, you only need one or two, but you have say 20... do you keep them or throw them out?

same with the sauces, or ketchups... you get 10 packets of ketchup or ranch with your fries or chicken nuggets.. do you save the extra and use them later or do you throw them away?....LOL, I save them all...I use the napkins at dinner at home, saves on paper towels and the wash if you use real napkins...and I have about 30 ketchup packs in my fridge, along with bbq sauch, hot mustard, and ranch...LOL

what do you do?

I always save anything extra I get when I go to a fast food place. Esepcially if we get packets, with a napkin, fork, spoon, and knife. I find they are useful to have when you are going on an all day trip or a picnic. I also keep the sauces, like right now I am currently out of ketchup so I have been using the little packets I have gotten from McD's.

I do not see the point in throwing any of it away. It is perfectly good product, it may only save you a few dollars when you are buying new products, but every bit helps.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

no I agree, I save them all and use them too... especially when the ketchup is low, or they are perfect if we go to the park and I dont want to carry all the extra condiments, we actually ask for extra packets...LOL

thanks for the response.

hi bookreadermom08...i have a baggie that i put them in. i try not to keep them more than a few months so i label the baggie with a months name on it. i decided to rotate the packages of ketchup after one day i opened one up and it was more brown than red. i threw out the old and now just keep them up to 3 months. i have even thrown away new ones just so as to not have the hassle. we have been making use of the ones i keep so it was worth having around. i especially keep the taco sauce packages cause sometimes i don't get them with my order and i really miss it when i don't have the taco sauce.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

oh yes we keep our extra taco sauces too, we never get enough of those so when we do get extra my husband likes the fire sauce ones, and he uses them on everything...LOL


myLot reputation of 97/100. greenglitterturtle (1899)   ranked 5,889 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

oh dear the fire taco sauce. angrywub i'll let you have mine. i prefer the MILD thank you. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

LMAO... lol, hubby would love that as he puts it on everything!! and yes, Mild for me too thanks... I cant handle the fire or hot sauces...LOL

have a great day!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. greenglitterturtle (1899)   ranked 5,889 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

on everything yeah. i've known people like that. i know a woman that likes to make fire salsa so hot that only some people can eat it. i went thru a phase where i used tobasco sauce or jalepeno peppers on everything that i could. but i just really wanted those for the flavor and not the hot aspect. and that phase burned out . then i went into a black pepper craze. i used excessive amounts. i'd put in the whole peppercorns and like to hear them crunch hehe. but now i just sprinkle it on then once a guy was trying to show off to me and put a lot of hot sauce on something to show me how hot he could have it over me and it backfired. his face turned exceptionally red and he went running for water. i can still see him now. memories.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

w00t That is sooooo funny!!!!! great story and I bet that still makes you laugh when you think of it....LOL

Yeah, hubby puts tabasco sauce and jalepeno sauce/slices on things too... at first I was offended that he was trying to change the taste of the food I cooked, then after a while I realized it was just his way of eating everything...LOL

No, I don't usually save the extras unless i'm at work. Then I figure someone might neeed and use them eventually. My sister however was a big saver. It didn't matter if anyone actulally wanted ketchup for their fries, or not, she would ask for extra and then she's throw it in her packet drawer in her kitchen. I think she went for almost 2 years wothout buying ketchup and mustard, lol.

Nowadays, though, the fast food places are pretty stingy when it comes to passing out the packets. Or, is it just me?confused


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

I think you really have to ask for extra or else they only give you like one packet ...but once in a while you might get someone who throws a bunch in. that is hilarious about your sister. thanks so much for the response.

I tend to save them all. I dont know why I do it because I end up with a kitchen drawer full of them, the worst thing is I never use them lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

lol...not here, we use them... it is sad when we get low on the packets, my hubby will use ketchup on everything and when we get low I can always count on the packets, but when those get low I get nervous...LOL

thanks for responding.!

I always save my napkins, but I rarely get and sauces at all. Once in a while I will get ranch with my son's chicken and if there is actually any extra I will keep it. My son actually prefers to use the packets over a bottle.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

oh that is not a bad idea, as you are probably saving money with the extra packets over the bottle...LOL

I use to always say no sauce, but then I decided hubby always uses them on something, so now I always get a sauce with everything.

I save them of course, who in their right minds would want to throw away perfectly good sauce sachets and paper napkins! At home I can afford to buy only about one or two variety of ketchup so these sachets of different flavours and also chilli flakes and oregano flakes, add a special touch to many dishes at home. Also the paper napkins are just great on picnics and such.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

I know arent they great!! LOL, I save them all and use them in every situation, during the summer we have a playdate every tuesday so I use them up alot on those days...they are great!!

thanks for the response.

My parents do. They are hoarders of the worst kind, they can't throw anything away. A drawer in their fridge was full to bursting with ketchup, relish, mustard, syrup packets, etc. I finally convinced them that the stuff had to go. I think some of those packets were years old lol. We do save the napkins and straws. My parents have already started filling the drawer again...


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

well I have to say if you are going to save them you have to use them as well...*snickers*, glad you got them to get rid of the old stuff... and yes straws and napkins are wonderful when you get extra...especially when you have kids!! LOL

thanks so much for the response.

i save them all too. cause those things are very useful. like when i find myself out of condiments cause i failed to check which things i need to buy in the groceries, i don't worry cause i know i have lots of stocks in my fridge. i don't get to use them cause i make sure that i use them only for those times i forgot to buy ketchup. but i usually use those condiments that i bought on groceries. and also i do also love using those packets of condiments when i need to use condiments any where else like when i go to school and need to bring my own food at school, i do need to bring a packet and i don't don't want to put some on plastic or container. i rather have them in packs so that it will not spill on my bag.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bookreadermom08 (1845)   ranked 128 out of 38,036 in life  10 months ago

they are very useful, we use them up alot in the summer when we bbq and eat at our picnic table in the back...they are so handy!!

thanks for responding.
