@allaries,

I try to buy most of my locknlock on a free shipping day, at least I feel like I saved a little!

The surprise would be if it hadn't gone up.

I LOOOOVE LocknLock, and have noticed some anticipatory; likely supply chain related; price increases.😊

A little off topic but it's about Lock n Lock.

I really like this brand and have had lots over the years.

I usually use for short time storage such as left overs.

Recerntly, I switched out my saltine cracker storage into a L-N-L.

Within a month or so the crackers had taken on a plastic smell. Oh, no......are these things full of awful chemicals. I fear its a yes.

Sets often contain larger pieces which take up storage space and are used infrequently. Wish there were an option to purchase individual pieces. My most-used sizes are wearing out.

Over the last nearly 20 years, I've found numerous times that one or two pieces in a set become favorites that have many uses for me.

So, I will get the # off the bottom (it's an HPL or HSM # usually) and find that I can, more often than not anyway, find just that one piece online. Sometimes I get sets of the same piece and sometimes just one of them.

I've gotten many of my individual pieces on Amazon and also a few on eBay, over the years. There's also the L&L site but I haven't been there much lately.

It depends on the item, or set. Sometimes I do think an item is priced too high, but I have several sets I really love that were worth the price. My favorite-the 4 piece refrigerator organizer set with the trays. (The shallower one holds bacon beautifully) I was using my Tupperware celery keeper that was my Mom's, so probably 50 years+. The four pieces on this set are a couple inches shorter, but I've had them nearly a year and love them. My Tupperware piece goes front to back on the shelf, but perhaps the Locknlock ones were designed for those newer refrigerators that are not very deep. I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer-how does the color Pine compare with the former Wintergreen? Is the color close, just w/o the sparkles? Thanks!

I am not surprised.

I will not purchase Lock n Lock anymore. Lately many of the pieces that I have ordered are broken in the box. The tabs are broken right off the containers, and of course I returned them immediately. They used to be very nice quality, but like many of the Q's products, they have gone downhill.

Totally agree! I bought a large set a couple years ago. I really only use a couple pieces regularly.

I am looking for K50515, the flip top cereal containers. I really like the size and width of the containers. I use them for flour and sugar as well as cereal. I also like that they are sold in sets of two. Am I the only person who is frustrated with the multi piece sets sold by QVC? It's not just with locknlock but every category sold by QVC. Gallon size shampoos, four pairs of scissors, two cross body phone cases, four lanterns, and on and on. I don't have room in my home for the multi packs and I have run out of family and friends to give the excess. Sometimes I just want one regular size item to see if I like an item.
