I clip coupons and bring them with when I shop only to forget to use them....you clip HUGE grocery coupons and have to fold them just so you can fit them into your coupon holder.
Don't you hate it when....

I hate that! When you stand there soaking wet reaching for the towel and you realise you forgot to bring one in! So annoying.

A recipe calls for 1 T of canned tomato paste (or another product). Just what am I supposed to do with the rest of it?

Those are hard to find here. :/ I've seen a few but they are very expensive. I should make more of an effort to use less cans and more jars though.
I was really happy with that tip! I use a ziplock and section it in like Tablespoon pieces. No difference
When I find organic paste on sale I buy a few. Sometimes ketchup isn't a good sub

I usually just open one end. And I end up using my finger to get the hardest part out toward the bottom, and licking it off my finger lol.Do you guys open both ends of the tiny can and push it out with the bottom lid?

You could also try freezing leftover paste in an ice cube tray....Those are hard to find here. :/ I've seen a few but they are very expensive. I should make more of an effort to use less cans and more jars though.
Exactly what I was about to say.
You can also do that with leftover wine into ice cube trays for cooking later, not that I have ever tested that theory!
But then you still need something to put them in--like a ziplock bag....so why not just put them in a ziplock bag and make portions with your finger?Exactly what I was about to say.

I was thinking that this would be fiddly so have found a better way to store it :
Tomato Paste Saver
I have found tomato paste in tubes at Vons supermarket. I don"t know whether they have stores nationwide.
Hmm, I see what you mean. I have read that a lot of people do the ice cube tray thing with leftover alcohol, the end of flavoured oils from jars, pasta sauce, pesto etc... I don't know if they also seal the tray in a bag afterwards.
I usually just make extra portions of whatever I'm making and put in the fridge or freezer and then throw away the jars/cans. I'm like Shyvas and buy tomato puree in a tube anyway, not a can.
In fact, the only thing I ever buy that I use once and then don't know what to do with the rest is houmous. I really enjoy it at first but then can't stomach it after that and it usually has to be eaten within three days. That is why I don't buy it now as I end up wasting it.
