Kitchen

[quick cooking mom]

I know, I have so much lock and lock too, I been using it for other things besides food.  I have one I put my BBQ spices in so I can keep it on the patio all summer without them getting clumpy.  I refrigerator dry my bread ends in an open one, then when dry, put them in a larger one in the cabinet.  When that one is full I make bread crumbs, then also store in lock & lock.

I have one full of the hooks for Christmas tree ornaments, two I use just for dog and cat treats, and the big refrigerator one keeps my romain lettuce super crispy that I give to our pet tortoises.

I love the variety of shapes.  I am able to bring in anything to lunch in my lunch bag and it always fits because of container shape/size options.  I have 14 oz square that fits a wrapped sandwich perfect so it doesn't get squished, and it's mate, a 29 oz square will fit 2 wrapped sandwiches.  I LOVE those.

I use the smallest size ones to keep toothpicks in.

I purchased the last TSV Lock N Lock had.  The one large container with the handle is what I keep my spare dental floss, toothpaste, first aid stuff.

In the smaller container (1 cup size) I keep a used steel wool pad in.  And I can store it right in my kitchen cabinet.

And of course, food

I recenetly used some of the small ones to store batteries, another for all the baking sprinkles, in their bottles. In the bathroom they hold q-tips, cotton balls, etc.

They are marvelous to use for storing small items that were kept in the "junk" drawer. I love the big containers with handles for taking salads, cakes, brownies, etc to take to parties - especially the appetizer container.

Love my lock and lock but several pieces have broken off tabs... Seems to happen a lot... Then the container does not seal right and hold the items for freshness as needed.  Anyone else have this issue  The tabs seem weak and many break off easily.

I have 2 in my sewing box - one has pins and a tiny one for needles. 

At our camp I have my laundramat quarters in one.

On DH's dresser he has one he tosses his change in.

I have a tiny one in my jewelry armoire with earring backs , extension chains, magnet closures - all those little things that get all over the place.

Another handy thing is when you get the ones that have dividers in them.  Of course, the dividers that come out - I have some of the larger, taller, ones in my bathroom cabinet for things that you stand up - toothbrushes, make up stuff like pencils and such, etc.

I have some of the smaller ones with small things in them.   You are limitless for ways to use these.  

I was glad I came up with ideas for the dividers because I NEVER use them IN the Lock & Lock containers so I was just stacking them in the cabinets and they seemed useless.

As for uses for the containers, everybody has mentioned ways I also use them.    I also have some that are used for puppy medicine, cotton balls, qtips, and stuff that I have in a basket for him, so that it's all in one place.

I could probably write a book, but I'll stop.

I like to use coconut oil as a moisturizer after I shower, but didn't want to keep the big jar in the bathroom.  I scoop a smaller amount into a small round Lock and Lock and keep it in the bathroom drawer.  Takes up much less real estate in the bathroom, and stays nice and fresh!
