Default Caulk tube saved for next time

Yesterday, I went to do a home repair (apologies for being on topic!)
and needed caulk. The tube of silicone I used last time, I'd covered
the nozzle with a good wrap of electrical tape. Naturally, the tube
was solid silicone. So, I cut open a new tube. What a waste.

What are some of the tried and successful techniques for saving a
caulk tube till the next time?

I have used electrical wire nuts in the past but they do not seal
indefinitly. Once your tube solidifies to solid silicone you can use
it for a sanding belt cleaner.
