If you always keep ONE of each "kept" item in your inventory without eating it, selling it, or giving it away, then you can just have the Black Cat shop make a copy of the "kept" item instead of copying the flask and then looking for another item to stuff into it. None of the foods or flowers are super expensive to copy; I think the most expensive ones are just a few thousand gold. If you do that, you only need a few airtight flasks to get you through the whole game. I have found that the only thing worth putting into an airtight flask is a Moldy Berry if you like to play with Selene's ales, or the Golden Egg since it is the best combo healer for both health and stamina in the game... but it turns rotten pretty quickly if it's not "kept" in a flask. Otherwise you only need a few of the flasks for one or two side-quests that request kept meats.
