LocknLock...round or square?

Do you have a preference in the shape/LocknLock? If it's not 'round', I'm not interested. How about you?

For me it's either square, zen or rectangle.

I actually use both, but prefer square or rectangle!👍 Each serves a different purpose for me!😁 I like how rectangle and square bowls store NEATLY in my cabinets or fridge taking advantage of EVERY inch of storage space.🥰 I like storing soups, sides and things like that in the round ones!😊

Plastic is round & glass is square. Why? It just worked out that way.

I think the square/rectangular make the most efficient use of space for storage with n9 l9st corners.

Actually, the rectangles are my favorite! Square is the runner up. Over the many, many years I've bought LocknLock, I've discovered that I really prefer the pieces with straight sides (not tapered or curved) for optimal capacity and storage. However, I do like the bowls for serving and for things like soup or fruit.

I admit that I have a LocknLock addiction. I used to try to say I was just a practical and well-organized person, but the amount of containers constantly in use plus those waiting in the cupboard tell another story.

Round is my first choice OR any that DON'T have the tabs, like those in this pic..they break off too easily.

I don't use Lock-n-Lock, I use Anchor Hocking glass and have both shapes. The rectangular dishes are only one size, but are the most efficient in their use of space. However, the assorted sizes of rounds are useful, depending on the amount of what's being stored.

Rounds in the kitchen and squares for bathroom storage

I have many sizes of round, but won't be buying anymore. The tabs break off of the lids and the rounds take up too much room in the pantry, cooler or fridge.

The square or rectangle ones take up less room per volume and store easier, and the tabs seem to last longer.

I prefer rectangular or square containers.

My most used pieces are a 1.5 quart round, straight sided containers, that came years ago with larger totes. They are green body with opaque lids. My problem is that I bought so many configurations over the years, that ALL the sizes don't nest. Moving those odd pieces to other parts of the home, and prefer just nestable rounds, for fruit, soup, cereal. I won't need another LnL piece in my lifetime. I do like many of the tall canister type rectangles for cereal, flour, sugar, pasta, rice. Plus, many of my sets are older and have really held up well.

@loriqvc I think I've completed my 12 step program for LNL and Temptations. I've only bought the cracker trays last free ship day this year. 🎉🥂💐🤣. And nothing today.

@lynnie61 - I also bought the cracker trays last free ship day—they're great! And I ended up surrendering to the LocknLock gods today to get the K90927 3-cup canisters; I have two from a previous set and they get used a lot in my pantry. But before I purchased, I did check Amazon to reinforce the fact that these were a good deal (just one there was $10 vs the Q's set of four for $19). I don't need the inserts, but I'm sure I'll come up with some way to use them...

@TheMemphisVette - That big pie carrier is THE BEST! After many years of owning one, I finally posted a review for it this week—I had checked my records and discovered that I'd bought *23* of the carriers over the years for family and friends, including the six in my collection. I was very happy to finally get a nice mid-tone yellow version.

See? I told you I have a LocknLock problem.

What is it about LocknLock that makes you want to keep buying it and using it to organize things? I have 2 sets in the kitchen, but I keep looking around the house saying 'I think I need more.'
