To be ecologically correct and frugal (I love how often those two coincide), set a plate on top on top of bowls instead of plastic wrap. When I'm buying a container, I try to make sure it has a lid too, for easier storage. . . .but I still have a roll of plastic wrap in my drawer.
Bonus: vertical storage in my crowded fridge!

I use shower caps. And plastic wrap. Plates on bowls make me nervous---too easily knocked over and spilled by little hands (or big hands).
I have the very same OJ container...
I do this too!
My grandmother always did this and she used pastel, speckledy Melmac plates. Which, you'll be pleased to note, can still be purchased at any Menno housewares store. My grandmother's were pink and the modren ones are green, blue and beige. Guess we can't have everything.....

Oh, the pink Melmac plates were on bowls in my grandma's fridge. Have ya seen the sets in the antique stores of square or rectangular glass containers with their fitting glass lids? That's what I think I'd like.
Deanna Beth, yes, I own some! They are called refrigerator dishes. If you look closely at my second fridge pic, you can see a blue one with a clear lid on the right hand side of the bottom shelf. I LOVE them.
