Top of the pots.

I put a cup or a ramekin over the top

A pot of cream rolled off the top of my shopping bag after I paid in Tesco and split the top. Much to my astonishment, and gratitude, they replaced it; the assistant who was clearing up the mess said it happened frequently but despite numerous complaints the manufacturers would /could not alter them.

I do wonder how many get damaged in transit, too?

As someone that saves everything I’d saved some of the lids from Yeo Valley yoghurts and use them now they no longer provide them.I think lids from other yoghurts fit, too. I also have some of those stretchy silicone lids but do prefer the solid plastic ones.

I transfer the contents into a plastic pot that does have a lid.

I don’t often buy it, but this is why I like the mini bottles of cream (Tom Parker IIRC) which I can find in Waitrose or order from the milkman.
Glass bottle, metal lid (so can close it if needed) - no plastic!

We've done exactly the same as MiniMoon. Easy, stretchy, and washable silicon "lids" are great.

I put these pots inside a Tupperware or similar container with lid.

Oops, sorry, I see that henetha does the same. Great minds think alike 😁.

I saved various sized plastic lids for this very reason. However, if there happens to be a pot where none of the lids fit, I cover it with a piece of foil.

Thanks, posters.
I do use foil. I have ready cut squares just for that, but I miss the plastic lids.
I’m googling moopops now. All stretchy tops I’ve tried so far are too big for the small pots, so today could be my lucky day.

I've got a couple of different kinds of pot lids, so no problem really. But if nothing fits a particular pot then i just use foil to cover it.

me too @minimoon I have small stretchy silicone lids that perfectly fit the yoghurt, cream and similar pots, slightly larger ones for cottage cheese and the half melons I keep as a whole one is too much. I've also got some solid plastic ones that I found in a charity shop which pop on to tins, which I use on my mug if I have made double homemade soup ready for the next day.

"Moopops" are very good. They are silicone lids that come in a variety of sizes

I bought a pack if stretchy silicon lids, round and rectangular in different sizes. They fit every size of pot.

I understand the reasoning but it is annoying.
Can you use foil? It's recycled here

I know all the reasons why manufacturers discontinued the tops for yoghurt/cream etc. but whether small or large you’d think they would sell packs that fit most makes/sizes of product in the supermarkets wouldn’t you? They do sell them for pet food cans so why not🤗 the spillage risk is extremely annoying.

You could use reusable covers sold on Amazon silicon or beeswax or other material.
