I got my whole pantry done for Christmas ... I love my DH! They are so great. I have a mix of mainly squares and ovals (2 ovals fit on top of 1 square). I have some super ovals for keeping breakfast cereal, but mainly squares and ovals in different shapes and sizes. I have things like nuts, dried lentils, dried fruit, barley, cous cous, cocoa, rice in the ovals and I have put sugar, flours, pasta and stuff in my squares.
I contact a friend of mine who sells Tupperware when I did mine and she and I together made a list of everything in my pantry that I wanted to put into containers including the size of the packet I normally buy. She went through with me and custom designed my pantry with the sizes I needed. She also listed the type of lids I wanted (plain seals or pour-alls) with each of the items ... another BIG decision. I'm glad I did it with her. It took about 2 hours, but it took a lot of the confusion out of it.
If I didn't buy the whole lot at once, then she would have given me a copy of my pantry list with the containers that go with it and I could have ordered it little bit at a time. As it is, I find that I need more than I initially thought. They are just so great!
My pantry is done in black to ... great colour ... and I am extra glad seeing as though the old colours will be gone (which I did not know until this thread).
I love mine too!! and mine are black - it was recommended to me 6 years ago as the demonstrator thought it would be the least likely colour to be phased out!
My problem is keeping up with UBD still. i have flour in one and dont use it very often and know it must be OOD by now!!! aaah
Oh and i have labeled mine too! I got a veg one too but keep my veg in wire draws in my pantry, so will be changing the lid to an air tight one
