Yes I save the ones I get at this particular grocery store in my neighborhood when I get cole slaw and macaroni salad.  They are perfect and the lids stay on tight and are microwaveable.  I love them.  I use them to pack my lunch in.

Yes, I reuse plastic containers and what I don't use, I throw in the recycling bin.

Yes. We use them for leftovers. But I set a firm limit on how many we can have in our possession at
one time.  They reproduce if you aren't careful.

I keep the better containers, alot of them are then used for holiday dinners, to send people home with leftovers, I used to use my good containers (tupperwear) but then people forgot to bring them back

I save the plastic containers and lids too.  I used to just stack them inside each other and find the matching lid when I needed it.  But, my husband kept fussing about never being able to find the correct lids so when we remodeled the kitchen I started keeping them in the cabinet with the lid on;  he likes it much better now! lol  The only problem with this is that it takes up much more room so I can't keep as many.

Sometimes we save them if we might need them for something else but mostly recycle them.
