I have Rubbermaid Stain Shield with the lids that lock together. Love the stuff. Stored pasta sauce in them countless times and they still look brand spanking new. I just bought a new set, but I had the older style for 9 years (wedding gift), and the only reason I needed to replace them was that they kept disappearing - otherwise they looked like they had just come out of the box!

Pyrex here.
I like how easy the glass is to clean. I take them to work in my bag with no issues and they stack well in the fridge.

We recently started storing our food in glass as well. Furthermore, DH actually packs his lunch into canning jars which he then packs into his bag when he bikes to work, and they hold up fine. (Well, except for the one day when he forgot to zip his bag and one fell out. Duh, honey!  ) We like how clean & inviting the fridge looks and how easy it is to see exactly what is in there. |

Glass anything. Eliminate plastic from your life.

I just posted in your pantry thread that I keep my dry staples in Tupperware and need some new lids. So if a Tupperware consultant pops in here ... please PM me.  |

It depends on what is being stored and for how long. I like glass the best (mason jars mostly) but I also have some lock & lock too.

I've also switched to all glass. Seems cleaner and easier to clean, and I'm not nervous to microwave in it.

I like the Rubbermaid fresh containers for veggies - can't remember their actual name, but they have a green lid with vents, and a rack that sits in the bottom keeping veggies out of any moisture... They're great for keeping chopped up veggies or lettuce in...
I also like the Snap and Lock containers... Lots of different sizes and shapes, they stack well, and I have a couple large ones that have removable compartments in them - great for storing two parts of a meal together but not mixed together... I use those ones a lot to save stuff in portions - I portion it as I'm putting it away...

I used to use Lock and Lock but they only last a few years. Now I've switched to glass - Wean Green - Glass Food Storage Containers bought off amazon.

I have some Tupperware from the first home we bought (I wrote our name and phone number on it in permanent marker and it is still barely readable) and it still works great. I am down a lot of it though because my husband and kids have taken it places and not brought it home. The cheaper stuff doesn't seem to last very long for me.

Well, don't throw it away, donate it to a thrift shop, they would love to have it. I buy Tupperware from thrift shops! In my town, we have four nice thrift shops, Humane Society, Pink Ladies at the hospital, one to benefit the women's shelter and one church so I have a choice in my little town. Of course, I've had some for a long time and if I'm using plastic, I use Tupperware. I've used the other stuff a long time because it was cheap but I've been building up my stash again with the used stuff!
I do like to use glass canning jars in all sizes and use the one-piece PLASTIC lid that you can get for both the standard and wide mouth. I also use a lot of Corning & Pyrex, I have plastic lids for almost everything and ALSO glass lids for most for baking.
I'm tired of all the disposable stuff except for DH's work lunches, etc. and going back to Tupperware and glass.

We have transitioned to glass minus Tupperware cereal bowls.
I have a bunch of anchor glass bowls with green lids. They carry them at Target, Amazon & the Container Store. They are easy to clean, durable & keeps things fresh.

I still use my Tupperware on a daily basis. Called last year and got several replacement lids that had split. I love their new colors too. I tried selling Tupperware back in the 80's and I bought more than I sold.

We're transitioning to Lock and Lock for anything that is going to be taken to work or school for lunch. For leftovers that aren't leaving the house, I live the Pyrex containers with the red or blue lids.

I use the vintage pyrex glass containers I have been collecting. But I still use plastic to transport salads for lunch and I like Rubbermaid that you can buy at the grocery store.

I am throwing away all my tupperware since its from the 80's. What should I use now? Please give me advice... Thank you in advance... I got rid of mine awhile ago. My concerns are the bpa chemical that was used in most plastic ware not just Tupperware from that time. |

We have gone to glass for most things as well. We have kept a few larger plastic bowls for storing larger quantities and I keep a stash of cheap Ziplock containers around for taking food to others or sending leftovers with friends.

I'm still using Tupperware from the 70s and 80s, handmedowns from my mom. They're still going strong and everyone always comments on the colors.
