    I have never reused a food wrap.

    I just use the glass pyrex containers with the lids. There are off brands of them also in the big box stores. They are square and stackable and they don't take up a lot of space plus you can see what is in them.

    I rarely use plastic wrap. About 5 years ago, I bought about 50 see-thru plastic containers with lids in 3 sizes that are microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe. No pba in them. I use them over and over. Fairly inexpensive. The best bang for my buck.

    Apparently beeswax has antibacterial properties....if you have access to a beekeeper or you can perhaps buy commercially.
    Here is a DIY video

    Thank you, Chester the Bunny! It looks so easy and is a great way to use some small chunks of fabric!
