I recommend making a list of what you normally like to store in your pantry and the quantities you'd like to store them in. Then talk to your Tupp dealer and get the pieces you need. Packs are ok if you're getting them as host gifts and aren't paying for them, but the cost of these packs works out roughly the same as getting individual pieces that you actually need. Packs can contain sizes that you'll end up squishing after-thought things in because you don't immediately need them. Better off getting what you need
