How organized are your plastic containers?

  • 5 Replies

 My storage cabinet is a danger zone.  I try & try to keep my tupperware like products organized but the kids go in there & mess up my system.  If you dare open the door, they all come tubbling out. 

Also when I go get a bowl, I can never find the top that goes to it. 

How do you ladies keep your plastic ware neat & tidy?

I organize them by size.  I still have to organize it once a month or every other month to keep them well organized.  The bogges ones I use to hold the covers of all the bowls.  And then organize them in square and round, and from there on I stack them by size.  Same with the glass bowls, I bought sets that are stackable to be able to keep them organized.  It is important to always store them in the correct order or you will end up with a mess where you won't find the lids for the bowls.  When you can't find the lids it is time to re-organize it again.  

I was trying to add a picture but have been having technical difficulties.  I will try again later.

As soon as I wash it and it's dried, I always match the container with their lid.  They are always organized.  I used to just throw them all together, and find the lid when needed, but now, every bowl is closed with it's lid.  They do take a lot more space, like that, but organized well, they still fit!  I'm going to take a picture, and show you.
