So disppointed that Lock n Lock keeps getting rid of colors.  I collected one color specific to my kitchen and do not want a hodge podge of colors; so this customer is out of here.

Anyone like myself that has 'collected' probably has plenty anyways.

@BH2008 Although I gravitate towards red, I don't mind different colors. If I truly needed and wanted a L&L item, the color choices would not deter me.

 

Like @RespectLife said, if there are "collectors" out there, I would agree that there really is no real need for more.

I do have alot of L* n* L, but in the clear and most of it is in storage now--but don't feel the need to buy more--I really prefer the glass storage stuff now.

The quality has really gone down hill.  I'm switching to glass.  Much better.

After lots of years of shopping for containers, I have too much plastic compared to my needs.  My L&L is doing okay, but I've often bought out brands brick and mortar - good quality but I could buy one or two at a time in the sizes I actually needed.

 

  I'm not a good customer for stacks of plastic, and I know thinking a company can profit sending out one piece at a time for something as inexpensive as a small plastic container is ridiculous.

I also am replacing my plastic containers with Anchor Hocking glass containers.  I stopped purchasing L and L many years ago.  Poor quality

I have purchased more of the glass L&L lately and love it.To me they are superior to any brand I have used. I mainly use the ones with vented lids--so nice. They truly go from frig to freezer and oven (minus the plastic lids of course) with no breakage. I like how easy they are to open also. The anchor hocking brand look as though they would be difficult to open for someone with arthritis. 

 

I have found their tritan dishes wonderful for a packed lunchfor hubby. No breakage and they do not discolor either.

I like to buy the different colors, because I like to know what sets went together.  Just me being ******.

 

I have had numerous tabs break off.  I have some where two of the four have broken off.  I suppose I should just throw those out.  I have some that are stained, and some that have gotten scratched or marred somehow, even though I am careful and never use a mixer in them.

 

They are not that expensive, so I suppose L and L people just expect us to throw out the used ones and buy more and more.

My problem is they are no longer air tight.  As a test cut up a raw onion and put it in the fridge for a couple of days.
