plastic what a wonderful invention

Plastic containers are a wonderful invention. we use them to store clothes, and to store inportant papers, and photographs. We also use them to hold computer programs, and toys. They create so much more space. Do any you guys use them.

I use large clear container....the large flat one type and label what school yr it is and put it on the floor of my pantry. Throughout the school yr my 3rd grader and kindergartener bring lots of stuff home and we hang on fridge. Much gets thrown away, but some stuff is too special and goes in the bin. At end of school yr, the lid goes on and it goes to the basement storage. Someday my kids will be gone and I will treasure going thru the bins!!

Takes me back to the days of 'Tupperware parties' Do these still exist?

I use big plastic bins in the shed for gardening stuff and small containers in the kitchen for food. Most used is lunch box containers for salad, sandwiches etc

important papers should be stored in a fireproof steel container, not plastic. preferably something portable.

Can someone tell me where all of the matching lids go to? Every time i try to store leftovers, I end up having to use plastic wrap over the top, 'cause there is every lid size in the cabinet but the one i need!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

My house is full of plastic containers. Not just the ones to put leftovers in either. I use them to store holiday decorations, blankets, out of season clothes, etc.

You always have an opion. I am glad you have that kind of money to buy 135. dollar fire proof safe.

anyway she is half right. But what I do is keep my inpotant pictures and papers in a plastic been and keep them in the garage. But if I did not have garage I keep them close to my bed, so I can throw them out the window.

Whom is this directed at? And why do you always sound so damn defensive?
Opinions are what a forum thrives on. If people didn't share their opinions, this forum would be a bunch of threads with no replies!! I don't get this at all....
