Storing yogurt and cream etc

I’m a bit fed up buying large tubs of yogurt, cream etc etc that now only have non resealable covering. I know we need to reduce plastic but the plastic lids were useful. The pot is plastic and I use cling film to reseal so not reducing plastic! Any advice on alternatives??

That's what we used to have here too, nanna. It's noticeable that the cost of yoghurt, cottage cheese and other dairy products has shot up at the same time as the manufacturers are saving money on packaging.

Thank you for all your suggestions! It’s reassuring to know it’s not just me getting annoyed!

Milk and More (home delivery) do cream, yoghurt and kefir in glass jars with metal lids.

Can’t comment on them, since although we have milk and a few other things delivered, I never buy them, except perhaps very occasionally, cream. And they’re probably quite a bit more expensive than the supermarket versions.

I use these Moopops lids the smaller one fits a 300ml cream pot and the larger one a 450gm yoghurt pot (Rachael’s Greek yoghurt).

Callistemon21 Perhaps I'll dispense the yogurt, once opened, into a very clean (dishwashed) jamjar and make a note of the use by date.

I gather not everyone stores leftovers in jars as we do. Why not?

I thought that perhaps I was the only one with this problem, but luckily the lid to my blender fits a big pot. Just need something for small pots now. The Moopops lids look good though
