Sick of having to get rid of mice when the temptation of food is right there for them, so decided to find some containers to conquer the food issues once and for all.
I'm looking for the BEST containers people have used in their pantries.
Not too fussed about being able to cook in them as such, as it's more for perishables in the pantry and nothing else. I've got tupperware for the fridge and to cook in, but it's just so expensive.
I've heard good things about lock & lock... but don't actually know anyone that has used them.
we have tupperware for most things - but when DH was workign away, i refused to send exxy tupperware with him so we bought some of those locking ones - and they're now used for things like dry biscuits that he is using for work - they keep the food fresh but not as good as the tupperware. the sizes of the containers are pretty limited as wel
As a tupper rep - I would definately say go the tupper -I go into many kitchens and I am finding over and over that people will buy the cheaper ones and they still get the weavels and rodents in them.
Someone already said - have a party - that is truly the best way to get any tupperware, its it discounted or even better free!!
Another Tupperware fan here. I hosted a party a few months ago and got the modular mates kit for free! Plus a few other goodies. Just need a couple more containers and my pantry is all set. Then it's on to my fridge!
The containers keep everything fresh and the food lasts aaaages!
I really like the Sistema containers, they have the two blue clips on the sides and a blue seal inside the lid. You can get them at coles etc but I have also found them at Sams Warehouse (bargain chain stores) I have Tupperware but find the lids hard to seal reliably and they are so exy.
if you cant get them to seal then there is a problem. if they seem too tight, soak em in warm water for a little while then try. also make sure you click the corners down and then slide along the sides of the seal. when opening open the corners (or if its oval the ends) first. :-)
It's not me who can't seal them it's dh and my little bro's - I kept finding open containers and spoiled/stale food. It's impossible to stuff up the sistema ones and if dh leaves them at work I don't have to sell his kidney to buy more lol
I'm another Tupperware rep, and its TUpperware all the way in our house. But I've been using it since well before I became a demonstrator - my MIL talked me into getting a pantry set at my bridal shower - I thought it was something that I would never bother with - but its fantastic.
And as a demonstrator, I've had ladies who've had pantry stuff since their bridal showers 40 years ago and its still going! I doubt you could say that for another brand (not that I'm biased!)
Have you ever thought about being a demonstrator -even if you only do it to get the discount (its 32.5% cheaper!) and stock your pantry up? There's no minimum parties you have to do each month, I think you just have to put in a certain $ amount. Lots of people do it just to get the discount and free stuff.
What pantry containers do you use?
