Super efficient use of space! Buy at WalMart for cheaper price though!
I LOVE these! I had my eye on modular canisters from Tupperware, but this set is a much more affordable option!
Trying to plan the sizes you'll need? Here's what I wish I could have read in someone else's review... What fits in each size?
- 21 cup - Flour. Also the huge oatmeal package from Sams (though there's a bit more than 21 cups of it).
- 16 cup - Sugars (white, powdered, brown... they all have a bit of room to spare so you can refill the container before you're all the way out!), Misc. bulk items I buy, like noodles. Also if I make a bunch of cookies.
- 10 cup Misc. items like chow mein noodles or croutons. I don't use this size as much.
- 5 cup - Carnation Instant Breakfast (I buy it in the can b/c it's cheaper & the whole can's worth will fit in here), 24 oz container of raisins, one package of oreos (minus a couple I eat while filling it), other misc. snacks.
I also have our playdough toys in one of them b/c we always play them in the kitchen and putting them in a canister makes them take up the least space in my cabinet! And I'm going to be using some for craft supplies too. It's surprising how much fits in them, a lot of the time I needed a smaller canister than what I would have guessed b/c the shape of them makes a big difference and they fit a lot more in them than you may think. If you buy them at WalMart, I recommend buying more than you think you'll need and then returning the left overs b/c you really don't know til you start filling stuff up what size you'll need on a lot of the misc. stuff. But if all you want them for is flour and sugar, then just get the 21 cup & 16 cup.
Here's what I like about them:
- They are nice & have a good seal
- Lids aren't hard to get on or off, but they do seal well.
- They stack easliy
- Their shape is great & makes SUCH efficient use of your shelf space that you can fit way more into your cabinets!
- They are way more reasonably priced than comparable Tupperware modular storage
FYI- I got this set at WalMart for only $15!!!!!!! So check your WalMart before buying them on Amazon. WM also sells the individual pieces way cheap too.
