Food Storage Containers: Freshness & Convenience

Some households have no worries about cereals, cookies or crackers getting stale, they usually are not around that long. But for a single, couple or small family, keeping an assortment of cereals or snacks on hand usually results in some of it spoiling before it is totally consumed.

Food storage containers come in all shapes and sizes with a variety of functions, but I've been very impressed with the ones that are conveniently sized for a box of cereal, with an easy to open 'pouring' lid, and smaller ones that are great for an assortment of cookies and crackers. These not only keep out unwanted pests but keep foods fresh and tasty. They also look great in the cupboard!

The plastic cereal containers shown are made by Rubbermaid. They have excellent closing lids that remain snug and they are easy to handle and refill. The best part - they hold an average large size box of cereal. The smaller plastic storage are SnapLock containers. They come in various sizes, with a snap-down lid that can be removed for easier cleaning. They wash up easily and are handy to use for nuts, whole grains, snacks or noodles. Filling these containers is no problem and they provide spill-proof serving for most ages, with easy to close lids. Of course the clear plastic just makes viewing the contents easier and labeling optional.

I've also found that there is an added convenience to these food storage containers. Your dry food supply is always ready to travel. That is, when it's time to go camping, just pile your containers into a carton and you're to go - no need for re-packing. They are also ideal for storing and serving road-trip snacks.

Say goodbye to ripped cereal boxes and torn food bags. When you see one of these in your cupboard, you'll want enough for all your cereals and dry food storage. The money you save preventing food spoilage will quickly cover their initial costs.
