All very "useable" sizes for me. And I cleaned out anything that wouldn't stack as nicely as they did inside each other and sent them off to Goodwill. I have really limited space for plasticware so they need to play nicely and stack or be gone! :-) Those are the kind I use Judy and I really like them. All very “useable” sizes for me.

Do let us know how they work out ---in a few months. I had to chuckle at your Jar storage. My dear mother in law also did this, and when she passed on we found kitchen cupboards full of Jars. I mean ---oddles. Some were quite unique! I think she purchased a lot of her food at the grocery store by what the glass container looked like! Not so much about the food inside the container.

So one year while out Christmas shopping I came across a big set of storage containers in a design that I hadn't seen before. I left the whole box at Mom's to use. So now when I come across a piece of it at my house, I know that it needs to go back to my Mom's. Now if I could just pitch all the mismatched stuff here. I did come across a box mismatched stuff from the move here over 12 years ago and did heave it out the door. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

My problem is not that I loose the containers or lids, but my partents can't keep them together in their kitchen. Some how I have lids in my kitchen and upstairs they have the containers or vice versa. So I needed some storage containers while staying in a condo in WI and went out and bought the smaller set. I love them and wish I had bought the larger set. I just bough a box of the same containers!
