How do I store all my plastic containers with lids?

This is really a problem. This a.m. I nested some same sized together and put them in a small plastic drawer thing. I keep round lids in a mesh bag and square ones in another mesh bag. But it always seems there are a lot of "orphan" lids and containers! In my basement I have a wicker lidded basket with some in it but these have not been used yet. Sometimes I think it would be easier to keep glass jars and use them. Or to use zip lock bags.
Use magazine/file folder/catalog holders that are low on the front and higher in the back. They are super cheap (99 cents). They take up small cabinet space. I stack all the containers and file the lids upright in the organizer. It is quite easy to match the size lid to the size of the container.
Hi Mona,
I stack the round, square and rectangular containers on a shelf, then I have one container for ALL of the lids. I try to keep them in some kind of order, but with more than one person using them, it doesn't always work. ;) Every now and then I'll take all the containers out and make sure they all have lids before putting them back into order again. Wishing you the best.
Hi Mona, this video has some cool ideas for this
