I use mainly Decor for my pantry. It is a horrid mess. I have flour etc all in canisters but it is the bits and pieces, like half finished tiny teddies, and DD's chocolates that sit on the shelf and fall off.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

The thing that annoys me most is that Tupperware doesn't nest like Decor does.  How on earth did they get that so wrong?  I have a mix of both, and the Decor stacks so much better and stays so much neater in the cupboard when it is not being used.

We get our fruit and veg once a fortnight through an co-op and I store it in a mix of fridge smarts and reusable green bags (that keep the produce longer).  Tupperware says that you shouldn't need to store your fridge smarts as they should always be in the fridge with produce in them, unfortunately for me, by the end of 2 weeks, they are almost all empty and I have to find somewhere to put them.  Why oh why can't they nest?  ???

I would love to know how to keep a plastics cupboard tidy though....

Hi Pippa, I just put back the empty clean fridgesmart back into the fridge ready to be refilled.  Same with the other Tupperware that goes in the fridge.  They all have their home regardless of full or empty.  That way they are always cold as well.

Obbie, we have our whole pantry decked out with modular mates too.  We bought ours from a tupperware distributer in Malaysia - about 1/3 of the cost it is to buy it here.  I had troubles with my conscience at first as I like to support Australian businesses but then I got over it and realised how much they are ripping us off!!!!!!    The tupperware is exactly the same, arrives promptly at your door and is CHEAP. If you go on to e bay and google tupperware modular mates - look for tupperware coming from Malaysia and it'll be the one!!!

Thanks Tam, I looked at ebay today, modular mates, and there was one from Malaysia.

I'll get some more from them.

I've just had a look there - it is SO much cheaper! Could you tell me if this is this the genuine Tupperware made in the USA . . and not elsewhere?  It doesn't say on the listing . . . thanks!

Another storage tip is folding you sheets and putting them in a pillow case.  I also put thetupperware lids in plastic draws .

Problem is, I usually need the space for the things I have cooked.  Will see if I can make that work as it is a good idea

Hello hello and what do we have here? A little bit of unwelcome activity happening in the back of the cupboard I see...

CP, when I was little I remember opening the fridge and finding those little blighters all over the place.  Somehow they had escaped from Dad's container.  Do you call them 'gents' like Dad used to?
