I use recycled glass jars (making sure the lids don't touch the food cuz I am sure they are lined with plastic) or preserving jars with glass lids. I use a LOT of tinfoil, it works well. I leave all vegetables, including lettuce, free in the crisper, it seems to last just as long. No idea if this makes any difference at all, of course.
