Use Dry Erase Crayon to Label Leftovers in the Fridge or Freezer [Household]

Using tupperware or other reusable containers to store leftovers is a smart idea. Not labeling those containers with their contents and when you stored them is a recipe for trouble. The fix is as easy as a box of dry erase crayons?they write on plastic containers easily, clean off quickly, and make labeling your leftovers so easy you'll actually do it.

Dry erase crayons are affordable (this box of 8 at Amazon is $4), and as long as you stash one somewhere in the kitchen, you can drag it out before you stash the last of the crock pot chili in the freezer or bag up your homemade chicken broth, write the contents and the date on your tupperware container, and then put it away. The real beauty is that the dry erase crayons won't smear or smudge, and unlike grease pencils, markers, or even a bit of tape stuck to the container, the dry erase marker washes right off in the dishwasher or with a wet paper towel.
