Food storage container crisis!

Several years ago I went on a trash the plastic food storage containers binge, and began buying glass food storage containers. Unfortunately, I bought them rather willy-nilly and in sets.

Sets that had (mostly) containers that were too small or too big. So then I started buying containers to fit a specific need.

Now I have all these containers (half of which I never use), and I have no place to store them.

Plus I'm constantly out of the size I need!

Am I the only one?

The medium large ones I use the most. The smaller ones tend to get less use. So maybe? I bought two anchor sets and a pyrex set. I seperated the round and square into two different drawers just last night.

If you have a ton you don't use I recommend selling on varage sale or offer up. ☺️

@Notsimilarreally I finally have it sorted, I think. I wrote down the size of each one and have been searching online for those sizes, have them picked out, and will buy 4 of each of them, then get rid of all the odd ones I have.

The ones I'm getting rid of I'll list as freebies on the local Nextdoor app. If nobody wants them, I take them to the women's shelter I do volunteer work for and give them to them. Actually, I think that's what I'll do straight away.

That way I'll have what I need and have space for them too.

@Ontheroad oh yes, that's a really nice idea to do with the extras. Glad you're getting it sorted. For as simple of a thing as Tupperware are, man they can get messy.
