The Best Store to Buy From: Target The average product costs $3.99. Aluminum foil is the material of choice when food needs to be covered.

Like nature intended, this helpful tip will make packing leftovers a snap!

10. Spoons for spaghetti

The best place to buy is Walmart. $8.98* is the average product price. It's not hard to cook a great bowl of spaghetti, but figuring out how much to make might be challenging. There are moments when it seems never enough, but by the time it's all over, your bowl is far too full of spaghetti. It's a little-known fact that the slotted spoon you use to drain your spaghetti may also be used to measure how much pasta needs to be cooked.

That eliminates the need for all the guesswork involved in serving everyone the right quantity of spaghetti. Naturally, even if this is a fantastic guide, the amount the spoon offers is probably not as much as what you would get at restaurants like Darden's Olive Garden. It's all personal taste when it comes to pasta, but if you're unsure, it's helpful to know that the spoon has you covered.
