I love these. They are the perfect sized containers for just about everything. Cereal, goldfish crackers for trips, a light salad for lunch, maybe cereal for dinner again…they’re perfect. Plus if they stay in the fridge hall of fame too long, I can leave the lid on and toss away! LOL Read more

Bought this for my lunches and my husband ended up using them for leftovers because they are really a perfect size for just under medium. We ended up giving some away with left overs from a family dinner and I'll be buying more of them! Read more

I had back surgery a while back and wanted to put some meals in the freezer beforehand so I wouldn’t have to fuss with cooking. I love the portion size with these—it’s perfect for what I need. I froze beef stew and spicy red beans with andouille sausage. It was really nice to just pull one of them out of the freezer.

We have been using these for years. I bought more of the same so the new would stack with the old when not in use. Over time the lids tear - usually at the opening flap.

Food storage containers: because sometimes you just need a plastic fortress to guard your leftover pizza from a rogue midnight snack attack. These marvels of modern engineering promise to keep your food fresh, unless, of course, you forget to secure the lid, in which case, enjoy your new science experiment. They're like Tetris pieces for your kitchen, where the goal is to cram every last bit of your pantry into a never-ending game of "Will it fit?" They come in every shape and size, as if the right container will magically make your leftovers taste better or your meal prep more glamorous. This size is the best too. For those of you single ladies and gents out there like me who will labor over the pot for hours only to wind up with pasta sauce fit to serve an army, these are great because you can portion your servings out to a single nights use and store the rest in the freezer for another time. The lids? Oh, they’re a whole separate adventure—finding the matching one is like a scavenger hunt, but with a reward of less potential spills. But luckily these lids can clip together so at least if you find one, you should have found the others too. Despite their quirks, food storage containers are the unsung heroes of your kitchen, keeping your leftovers safe and your cabinets cluttered in the most organized way possible. Read more
