Plastic Storage Containers

I've been getting really cross with myself today as I've misplaced my Tupperware collection  I reckon my OH has done away with it during a house move    I've found some but I know I had loads of large containers for flour and can I 'eck as like find them.

In the end I had to resort to a supermarket Klip Fresh which has four locking points, none of which actually work.  I have grappled with it til I'm blue in the face but cannot get any one of the four corners to locate and seal the damned thing!    Utter *rap!     Some of the Tuppers that I have got are my mother's 70's jobs -  and earlier- and are still working perfectly

I love the names "Party Susan"  "Carolier"  "Cold Cut Keeper"   Ah I've gone all nostalgic now 

I find the Lakeland storage boxes that look like the old tupperwear are really good. I have had mine for ages and the new ones are the same quality.

I also found some plastic lidded storage boxes which were really washing powder containers which are brilliant for storing my catering sized cake ingredients.

Yes, the old stuff was definitely far better. I  seem to lose only the lids and can't understand how. It is another of life's great mysteries!

Living with the pens, teaspoons and odd socks..

  Yes! The problem is - do I throw out the lidless pots? (Odd socks is solved, I wear odd ones!), you can guarantee that as soon as you throw away the pots or buy new pens, the lids and old pens turn up!

Mrs Bee it is worth knowing that the Lakeland ones are good, perhaps I shall have to treat myself to some. Do they make them with homing devices in the lids?

Also beware of putting those Klip fresh things in the dishwasher! If you could get them to clip up beforehand, you certainly won't afterwards...
I think the Queen is also a fan of Tupperware? Keeps her museli in it (ma'am!)

You can still buy Tupper online from Ireland so I might treat myself to some new stuff.  A tour of the charity shops is on the cards too    Mind you I think I shall have to grill my husband as to its whereabouts first    In the same place as many of my cookery books I fear 

Are the Lakeland ones different to those Klip-its then?

I've got a few of the Lakeland ones.  I never have any problems clipping them over the edges.
