Lock and Lock Spice containers

They are back if anyone is interested. Not all colors came back though. Or if they did they sold out already.

The only thing I don't like is they don't have labels to put on as to what's in the container. Yes you can write on them but that can be smeared off.

That's 30 dollars with shipping plus 8 percent for Georgia taxes, that's 32 dollars.

I dont know, I dont need any for my house in US but its something that I need for my house in Athens. I will wait though if the price goes down.

I wish they were smaller. 3/4 cup and one cup is way too big for my needs. i prefer to buy my spices in small jars rather then In larger containers. I want them to be fresh.

Right now I just store my spice bottles in a larger L&L container. They stay dry and keep the humidity out. I keep spices in my camper and they can get clumpy rather quickly, especially the garlic salt.

I do like the idea of the L&L spice containers. Good idea, but dumb sizes IMO.

@hellokitty T think these are tritan. I don't have any experience with this material. Is it durable?

Re: Lock and Lock Spice containers

@PA Mom-momYes, these are Tritan. It is hard, kind of like glass but not glass. I think it is durable. I just bought a set of three refrigerator pieces and the Tritan part is excellent but I am not sure about the lids. The lids on the spice containers are pretty durable as well.

I bought a set of spice containers when they first appeared and I like them a lot. The larger one holds a bottle of "Spice Time" spices. One has tumbled out of the cupboard and didn't shatter.

Tupperware also has spice containers and I have some of those. I have a lot of spices because I can/preserve and need to have them on hand. I hope this helps and maybe someone else can explain Tritan better than I have.

Thanks for the notice on these @hellokitty ! I bought the Golden Sand. I don't plan to use them for spices - I keep mine in glass jars, but will for other pantry staples (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.). I tried to get them when I saw them last year and missed out, but thanks to you all is not lost! By the time I saw them online it would probably be too late!

@sunshine45 - My two closest friends got these too. They are going crazy around their homes with them. I swear if their puppies held still they would be "labeled"! LOL! They are trying to talk me into one. Can I ask which one you bought?

I buy 8-oz wide mouth Mason jars and use them for spices, storing small items in the fridge, serving sauces, and making yogurt.

Thanks for replying. That's the one they both have. I think I have a Staples coupon, if it hasn't expired!

I purchased a set of spice bottles and put my spices in there. They came with some preprinted stickers and some you could write on. For the price it was a great option.

@beach-momgood idea. Glad I could help!

@hellokitty

Thank you so much for putting this up! I ordered last time and then they went to backorder then cancelled. I searched them so many times to find them again. I would've missed out again because I'm sure they will be on David's show tomorrow. I'm in church when that plays so it would've sold out. I wanted the dusty rose and they had that one. Thanks again!

@sunshine45 Are you happy with the brand you purchased, and if so which one? I'm thinking during this stay at home that I might start labeling too. Ha I'm sure the possibilities are endless lol.

yes, very happy with it. it does only come with a tape that is not full sized, so if you are going to be doing a lot of labeling, order an extra roll also.

@hellokitty

Thanks so much for posting this! I bought two sets last year, and had ordered more but they went to backorder/waitlist then were cancelled, with the message that they were due back in Feb. I had given up hope I would be able to finish my spice cabinet with these!

I ordered two more sets. I was really pleased with the quality and the size of these (half are one size, half somewhat smaller) as I needed smaller things, but not too small. I only wish they'd make a set with a 'sprinkle' type top.

One set arrived and I will be washing it up today. Can't wait to finish the cabinet so it looks more uniform!
