Food storage!

Dollar Tree... they always have either rubbermaid or Betty Crocker with the red lids, they have all different size's, for a buck.. the larger ones are normally just a dollar, the smaller in size normally the more you get...

I love them, they are great for just everyday stuff.. for a lunch bags.... for outdoors activities, I use them on our boat all the time...if you go camping... as well they are great for taking to a party or pot luck... you take them and then the container for the hostess...

I do not suggest freezing in them, or at least for me I haven't had any luck with that... I stick to Ziploc Freezer brands... You can put them in the dish washer as well, I will say after a while they start to get kinda slick feeling... so I just throw them out..

As far as storage in the pantry... I like the ones with the push over handles, I get them at Homegoods... the ones with the push button's really don't do the trick for me...

I do have a abundance of nice spice jars, I do transfer spices into after buying... This a fancy set that I bought myself, different tops, size of jars, and labels... and have added jars over the years... I actually have picked up odds and ends at antique stores, I bought everything my neighbor had when they moved overseas...

Most of the time we are making it at home. I know I can research more, I just thought I would try here- theres another post about what people have done differently lately and it got me thinking...thanks for your help!

I found a storage solution for my homemade bread that works pretty well.... I keep it on my counter on a slotted wood breadboard, and an overturned rubbermaid clear plastic shoebox over it as a cover...this seems to allow enough air (very little) that it doesn't get gummy or go stale too fast, I did some research about bread needing a bit of air flow but not too much,and I didn't want to spend on a breadbox ,so this was my diy solution with stuff I had around the house already. Sitting here looking at a nice gf loaf as I type this....

For the freezer if you want to maximize space these are great:
https://www.amazon.com/Souper-Cubes...1&sr=1-1-70f7c15d-07d8-466a-b325-4be35d7258ccA little pricey but far superior to similar products. You can then put the “bricks” into Foodsaver or Silicone bags.
