Organized My Lock n Lock

Daysdee — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 20:00:11 GMT

Shows me I have too many sets. I'm happy with them more organized though.

I know just how you feel😉

I shipped a box full (all still in original wrapping) to my son and to my cousin....worse thing, I still have a full container & drawer of them🙈🤷‍♀️

Gotta have reserves right! LNL is my addiction😳😳😳

I'm in shock with the number of pieces I have!! Since our community garage sale was at the beginning of the month my overage will be going to Goodwill this week.

I also love LocknLock --- which is a healthy addiction. I've saved so much money storing my rice, pastas, cookes, cereals, snacks in L&Ls in my pantry.

In the freezer in my garage, I store several types of breads/rolls in 3 tall, wide L&Ls.

Keeps everything FRESH and BUG-FREE.

One time, I had cookies in a L&L in my pantry and 6 months later, they were fresh.

I also love how organized my pantry looks and I know what's in each container.

I have an over-supply, but I'm keeping all of them!!!!

I used them for just about everything...when my little Gismo was living they contained his treats and food. I also used them for flour, sugar, beans, and cereal storage. Then there are the sets that I utilize in the freezer for storing certain food items.

At one time I really thought that I had a Lock & Lock addiction because I had so many. However, when I do a count of my bowls and containers I find the numbers are decreasing. No worries as I several backup boxes in the garage just in case.

@nana59

Funny you should say "you buy them" -- when my son said "sure I'd like them" the mom in me kicked in!!!

I sent them 2 sets of copper Big Deal. They got them today...text from them:

Them: Thank you so much!

Me: Glad to send you what you could use!

Them: Don't go "crazy" sending us more....lol

So I can relate because I kinda do this too!!!

I have a LOT of Lock & Lock! I love them and they're super useful. However, I bought many in the beginning when they weren't the "nesting" type. Since buying the nesting ones, I'd like to give some of the other ones away but don't know who to give them to. I guess Goodwill is an option, huh? DIL only stores food in glass and daughter is in NC. I think I'll email her and see if she'd like them.

I can organize them. I cannot keep them organized. 6 months max.

I really try to keep organized. When storing my L&L, if items are nestable with the lids and/or to keep the lids with the item, I s.tore the lids in zip lock baggies, this way all the lids to that particular item are together and not floating around in the cabinets.

Actually, I do this with all my storage containers, not just the L&L

I adore L&L and collect the seasonal sets. I have been able to completely organize my pantry with the pantry sets, bins, and tall storage containers. Nestables have become my favorite for my cupboards. I also use a set of Progressive storage containers like those offered on HSN.

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I love Lock and Lock and I have a ton of it. I live in fear my hubby will find out just how much Lock and Lock and fabric I have. lol

Re: Organized My Lock n Lock

idiotshopper — Sat, 28 Sep 2019 17:03:11 GMT

I did the same thing. I mailed the whole box to my brother and told him to take what he wanted and give the rest to my cousin. One box out of my way!

@hellokitty

That "fear" came to light when I went home for 3 weeks. He had to go in my guest room closet to get something & yup the gig was up!!!

I never laughed so much -- came home he said "I left you a present on the bed in the guest room". Oh boy presents😄😄😄

he pulled all the excess LNL and boxes full to be tossed, shipped or donated.

Some present🙄but got them sorted. Mailed to my son & DIL all the new ones and donated or trashed the rest.

Little does he know -- I hoarded a few favorites😉😉😉

DH really wouldn't care but I would be teased a little.

I love L&L but don't buy as much as I use too. Even if it's nestable the lids are still annoying. Even if I place the containers on top of the lids - sooner or later it's gonna fall down.

The worse thing is the newer pieces I've noticed the "tabs" are not holding as well, and the lid at times can be aggravating to place on the container - sorta like it has a certain way to fit.

I have some of the larger bins and they did well but after awhile the tabs would not stay shut and then I have an open container that I have no use for. I really feel that what I first fell in love with the quality has gone down a lot. So, I see lots that I want but then my brain tells me - tabs won't work. So I don't order.

The last was the tea pitcher (2) that came with an extra lid. Tea spills just taking it from the fridge to the table when it's about full.

So I just won't be ordering like I use to. Especially the ones with tabs.
