Lock & Lock Frustration

Coquille — Sun, 03 Sep 2017 05:07:13 GMT

I Love Lock and Lock but I am frustrated with the colors. I must have at least 20 sets or more. I started with the clear then bought the pink. They stopped making the pink so I bought the yellow. Now they hardly have the yellow. I now am back to buying the clear. I really liked the yellow the best. I don't understand why they keep making new colors and stop producing the old colors? I know the yellow was popular, it was one of the first to sell out. I also bought a set of the pearl color and I haven't seen much of that. I still love L&L and will continue to buy it, even if I buy the clear. It is buy far one of the best products on the market.

@Coquille

Do you keep them all or give them away as gifts? 20 sets is an awful lot to store away. I have very limited space and I have a small set of Sistema that I purchased at Macys befoe I noticed them at TJ Maxx.

I use plastic wrap on top of dishes. I hate claning plastic (don't have a dishwasher).

Wow 20 sets?! You must use them for more than food. Just think of your sets as the rainbow of your kitchen and be happy with all the different colors.

Oh yea, I probably have about 20 sets also! I threw away all of my other storage containers years ago and only us L&L. I've never really gotten any in color though, but then again I don't buy mine from the Q. Too expensive and I certainly won't pay shipping when I can find the same on Amazon, no shipping costs and I get it in 2 days! Can't be beat!

I've always used the clear, but recently fell in love with the copper. I ordered the TSV in copper with the idea of continuing the clear in my "pantry" cabinets, and using the copper for other storage such as leftover and/or fridge storage. I just have too much invested in my pantry storage to make a complete change over. I also ordered the 3 piece tulip bowl set since there are only tiny rounds in the TSV.

@Yahooey Hi. I have kept all the sets. I have been buying L&L for about 15 years. I use them in my cabinets for cereal, pasta, chia seeds etc., closets for tools etc., linen closet for cotton balls, facial pads etc.. I love the containers for milk or juice. I do have sone sets stored away for the future when some wear out. Take care.

@ID2 Amazon is my go to for just about everything. That said -- given that you would pay $21 for just 2 of the 19 cup containers in the TSV on Amazon -- there is no comparison.

what do u use all those sets for?

whenever I ordered another set, I chose a different color.

I have around 6 or 7 sets.

I like most of the new colors. People's tastes change -- so L&L comes up with new colors, ie, Copper, Black.

I noticed they change colors on a whim, too. For me, clear has always worked best. I like to be able to see what's in them from the top, too. Sometimes I tape cooking instructions on the underside of the lid for others in the house. I also put expiration dates on a card taped to the underside of the lid, When I use them to store things in the bathroom, being able to see from the top is handy. I have to admit, some of the colors are pretty. The clear seems to make my pantry look less cluttered, and more uniform.
