That's a good value, but I'm not in need of those sizes, so I'm safe from this one... whew!

I have 3 sets of the 6 piece nesting bowls - one at camp and 2 here at home. I do appreciate that they nest with their lids for storing but I hate digging through them to find one when i need it. Oh well. If I didn't have any I would be buying a set as they are very useful. The smaller ones have limited uses in my kitchen but I store things like paper clips and pins and, at camp, my quarters for the laundromat.

Would not mind having the square ones. Don't much care for the round ones, don't make efficient use of refrigerator and cupboard space.

I didn't think I'd like the very small ones, but as it turns out, they're always in use for half an onion, leftover tomato paste, peeled garlic, you name it. I could actually use a set of small ones.

If elongated style is being offered - be aware that the closing clips (2 on each long side) don't stay down. I first read about it on here but didn't cancel my order. Yup, the OP of that posting is correct. They do pop right up - too much stress / plastic can't hold the cover. I was going to give to charity but decided not good for other people to spend their money for these. Into the trash they go.

Since the new year started, I bought 4 sets of Lock 'N Locks. I organized my pantry with them. It's so nice to have everything organized and in a container.

I might pick this set up. I want to see a presentation first. It's hard to see what size they are just from the online picture.

I am very tempted by the pink set or the mint. Would have loved a white option I have a wedding shower to attend and this might be a fun addition to the kitchen basket.

Still thinking.

Need bigger ones more, but seems like all my 'smaller' ones are constantly in use, so I guess I could use this set as well.

Not that the price isn't good, but I wish they had come in a few dollars cheaper, or been offered with reduced or free shipping. Something about the price just isn't exciting me.

@fthunt

I agree about the long rectangles. I have the refridgerator set and the big ones are very hard to close, sometimes impossible. I use them for lettuce and veggies, so it's not imperative that they stay leakproof. I lock two sides and they work fine, but it is an issue.

I need new food containers and was thinking about trying them. I see them all the time on ITKWD. But what is the big difference between this and the regular plastic stuff? Is it just the fasteners that everyone likes?

I'm going to order a set for the first time, but can't decide on a color yet.

I got the TSV, the set of mini Zen cups, and a pantry storage set. Right now I have a few of the Ziploc containers and have been keeping everything else in reusable takeout packaging that I felt guilty just tossing away. It's time I get some real storage options. And I really like the smaller sizes to pack snacks in for work or to keep a half an onion in.

The 5 piece pantry set is nice. I think I'm going to order another set of those.

I have a lot of L&L but it never seems like enough since I'm always searching for a storage container. I bake my own bread and have at least 5 types of flour in addition to other ingredients plus all my other baking needs. I have a bag of flour on the counter right now looking for a home. I got the 4 piece tall canister set instead of the 5 piece pantry because it is square. It's hard to scoop flour with the rectangle ones, at least for me.

Would have liked the TSV but can only do one right now
