Do you keep the condiments you don't use from take out?

[Jalapeñomel]

I just noticed in the fridge that we have pounds of duck sauce in our condiments holder. 

[imhischeeseburger]

Yep. I hoard McDonald's dipping sauces because I know there will be a time when I ask for sweet and sour and they don't put it in the bag.

[iamgrace]

Usually just ketchup. H takes it in his lunch if he has a leftover burger or something.

[mrsjuleshs]

Yep. I have about 1/2 a drawer. I also have a lot at work.

[wampuscat]

I have a little tupperware container in the door of the fridge that I keep sauce packets in. Once it's full, I toss anything else I get. I tend to take the packets with me to work when I bring my own lunch.

[pagas]

No, but we rarely get take out

[polarbearfans]

No, because it will just build up and get old. I usually don't take any or decline and just use what we have at home unless it is special for the meal.

[kittyb]

Yes. We don't get take out that often anymore though.

[cville]

I always stock up on taco bell mild taco sauce so I can make quesadillas with it. But that's it.

[juliachild]

We have some ketchup, soy sauce, and jack in the box hot sauce. When the little bowl I keep them in is full, I stop keeping the extras.

[kirra]

Yes. I don't get extras to keep, but if they add them I don't throw them away.

[dexteroni]

Yes, and I don't know why. I will never use duck sauce or Taco Bell sauce with anything other than those restaurants' own food, and they always give you like 72 packets per order. Although soy sauce and ketchup packets have come in handy when we've run out suddenly.

We only keep as many as fit in a small gladware, the size that would hold one serving of soup. When it fills up, I toss whatever we have a lot of.

[illgetthere]

I only keep them at work in case I bring in something that needs ketchup or ranch or whatever. I don't at home since we usually have whatever sauce we need.

[Deleted]

I'll keep a handful in the fridge, but I usually end up tossing them. 

[wowhead]

Only Taco Bell sauce. I also have bottles of it but the packets just taste better.

[Nonny]

We have a little canister with some, but we usually forget to use them, and I end up tossing them all when I clean out the pantry.

[gault]

I have marinara dipping sauce that I've saved from my favorite pizza place.

The only other thing I save is extra chopsticks. They have come in handy!

[Jillaroo]

I keep nugget sauces from McDonald's because dd likes to dip things. But otherwise, no. When I'm at Taco Bell I'm very specific about how many sauces I get. When they ask if I want sauce I tell them 2 verde and 4 mild, or whatever I'll need. They always go along with it.

Mmmmmm. I'm pretty sure I need to go get Taco Bell now.

Maybe it will send me I to labor? (Y)

[marylennox]

Yes, I save them because I don't want to be wasteful but then they never, ever end up getting used. So I've started trying not to save them anymore; I just throw the extras away now.

[janegold]

No.

[pantsparty]

Never.

[Deleted]

I don't but H does. It drives me nuts because he leaves them all over the place and never uses them.

[bugandbibs]

Yes and when I get a bunch of one thing I funnel it into a bigger bottle. We use dipping sauce cups almost everyday. My kids love to dip food.

[Deleted]

Yes. DS loves the Parmesan cheese that comes with pizza on his pasta. I always horde those plus soy sauce and red pepper flakes.They always come in handy when I am trying a new recipe and realize I don't have those items.

[Deleted]

No.

[livinitup]

Yes, and I need to toss it all. I worry about not having ketchup for fries, but it's not really an issue, ever.

[dianecourt]

Who was the ketchup stealer? DirtySouth? I keep the fancy one from Dairy Queen. And I always keep the hot mustard (although not many are usually left) from take out Chinese.

[franklin]

No, we don't really order or go to restaurants that have "to go" condiments. So by the time I had enough of like sweat and sour sauce half of it would be expired.

And the qualifier, we eat out a lot, just not where we get "to go" sauces, but there is one place I try to stockpile the ranch dressing (paninos).

[sparrowsong]

What is duck sauce? Is that sweet and sour?
