My cabinets were bursting with those things. I reuse them for a while until I can no longer open the cabinet doors without getting beaned by them, then I throw them out even though I hate doing it and feel guilty as hell.

Some of those "deli" meats come double packaged...forget the brand. In the clear oblong tubs with red or blue tops, but then the meat is in a plastic pouch inside.

Why?????

Just put the damned meat in a resealable plastic pouch!!
