Shared by user Rebecca Huffman, the idea is to store any left-over paste in the can in a small freezer bag, score the bag into sections, and freeze it. Then, whenever you need tomato paste for another recipe, you simply break off a piece of the frozen tomato paste and return the remainder to the freezer. That way, that little can is more than just single-use and the leftovers don’t go to waste.
This storage tip can be applied to any other paste or sauce left-over, that you might want to utilize in the future. The simple idea resonated with many of the video’s viewers receiving comments like “I’ve wasted so much food that I could have done this the whole time.” Sometimes, being creative in the kitchen is essential to being frugal!
