Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Plastic containers like these are the best friend of anyone who is looking to save a little bit of time and money. Mothers rely on them to preserve their leftovers. College kids use them as a means of stretching a buck (and avoiding costly grocery shopping trips). Thanks to these containers, we have been able to stretch meals for days at a time with no problems.

Trust us on this one. They are an absolute lifesaver. Unfortunately, they cause all sorts of storage issues. If you have ever had a pile of them fall out on you in the kitchen, you know exactly what we mean. No matter how hard we try to keep our cabinets clean and tidy, these containers make life more difficult. That’s what makes this tutorial such a crucial one for our readers.

We’re going to teach you how to make the best of these tough situations. By showing you the very best method for storing these plastic containers, we hope that you are able to steer clear of the usual pitfalls. There are other issues that we cannot stand dealing with, either. Have you ever tried to find a specific container? It’s an absolute nightmare.

Anyone who is looking to tidy up and cannot afford to simply throw their containers away needs to be watching this one. There’s no reason to keep going through the same strife with your cupboards. Take a closer look at the video below as soon as you are ready.
