Lock & Lock Colors!!!

Southern Classy — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 17:53:18 GMT

I realize it is the holidays, as well as, fall and winter.....but I do not like all these jewel tones in the Lock & Lock pieces. I still need colors that match my kitchen....just because the season has changed does not mean my kitchen has. So many pieces I wanted but did not want these dark colors.

I have long wished that Lock&Lock would have a selection of core colors that remained available consistently when new pieces are introduced. It seems that a lot of colors are one and done and then they move on to the next color. I have stayed with clear for years because I don't want to end up with a variety of different colors. It is frustrating.

That being said, I have recently been taking my chances with the crystal blue, hoping that it sticks around for awhile.

My kitchen has red accents, Kitchenaid mixer, Keurig, Air Fryer, Le Creuset...

I choose the red in Lock and Lock. They always seem to have that.

I did buy the set with the gift bags but those are for gifts and I match the bowls to the bags.

I did recently buy from their own website two sets of three each nestable square pieces with Christmas ornaments on the side. A large, medium and small. I bought one green and one red. Very cute and they were on clearance. Deep clearance.

I buy Lock and Lock in fun colors. I never even think to match my kitchen with plastic ware that is in my refrigerator or my cupboards.

I am not into a matchy-matchy everything. I have a time of L&L in a ton of different colors.

I am matchy-matchy. I like the purple tones, but many of mine are different as some are violet, plum, etc. I also wish they would stick with core colors because I do like all to match. However, I still have clear and I have too many sets to replace them all just to match. Many of mine are close in color--purple tones.

I was just looking to make my first purchase of lock and lock . I was disappointed that there were no colors. One set only came in red. Another set red, blue, and dark green. Oh well guess I won't be buying L & L.

I would prefer to have all my Lock and Lock in the same color, but I stopped loosing sleep over it a long time ago.

They are going to keep changing colors, adding new, deleting others, and offering them in shades and colors suitable to the season for which they are selling/promoting.

Nothing I can do but choose the clear, which is constant, or just buy what suits me in the moment and live with the mix/match.

I like the colors, but I'm like a toddler - just put a lot of bright colors in front of me and I'm happy. I would get really bored sticking to the same color all the time. I also find that the different colors help me sort the pieces better. For example, my nestable rectangles are always lime green or turquoise top. The pantry pieces, which are a different shape mostly have clear tops or the ones with the flip lid that are yellow (I just ordered some orange pantry pieces that are different widths, so that's going to throw me off - why did they do that?) My yellow rectangles have clear lids, and the clear rectangles I just bought for office organization have green or black lids. I would go nuts if all my lids were the same color and I had to sort out what goes where.

But I hear what you ladies are saying - it would be nice to be able to replace certain pieces or add to a matching set later. And for pieces that sit on the counter, you want them to blend with the decor and not be a mish mosh.

I think they were low on stock in some sets. Probably because of the all-day kitchen shows and the free shipping. That saved $5.50 in most cases.

I'm in the minority here because I don't match my plastic storage containers to anything else. I honestly don't care about which colors I have because they're either in the refrigerator or freezer or in cupboards.

When I don't like the colors offered I will go with the clear. But they recently offered a set of 4 tall canisters. Didn't like the colors....before I could order the clear they sold out. I guess nobody wanted the colors either.

I miss the colored bowls with the clear lids. They are so much more pleasant to look at than the clear bowls with the colored lids. I wonder if they're ever going to bring those back? I'd be willing to pay more for them.

Shabby Gal, As time goes on I need a little help once in a while so with lock in locks I can tell my husband the Olives are in the Pink bowl, or the chick peas are in the Green bowl etc. If all my bowls were all the same color then He would be confused, I label all my bowls but he sees the color before my label and dates. So in my house it is best to choose the color variety sets. Maybe something to think about in the future. Times they are a changin. !!
