Food storage containers can be a real pain point for many of us. We seem to lose lids and many of us have a random assortment of pieces that are hard to store together. This is a pretty quick and simple project once you set your mind to it!

Step 1: Take Everything Out

Start by taking everything out of your cabinet or drawer. Sort all of the various items by set – containers with lids.

Step 2: Purge the Misfits

Get rid of anything that is broken, stained, or without a match. These items are taking up space, they’re not useful, and you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life right now.

Step 3: Organize

Put back what you’ve kept by creating a functional system. One way is to store containers with the lids on and stack them. That can be easy, but not space effective. Another way is to stack or sort like with like using a few simple products such as expandable drawer dividers, bins, or sectioned dividers. Here are a few products that we like:
