Ok not real Tupperware but containers, my house is flooded! I don’t know where to put them! They are not all matching but I don’t want to match them because the all have different purposes Confused I have big and small rounds for soup-we eat a LOT of soup here, I have glass containers for baking and food prep, I have Rubbermaid containers for storing leftovers that wouldn’t work in round containers, I have glad interlocking because they stack well
My kitchen is small, my food storage collection huge

HELP

Get rid of. My mom has every possible size and shape container. Sure it's useful that you can fit the exact size piece of kugel or soup on that one occasion, but she has so many cupboards just filled with containers that 95% of the time aren't needed.
I have only rectangle shape as it fits best, in several sizes. And it works. Yes, sometimes the container is a touch too big, or I might use 2, but I make it work.
I would work out how many containers you need to make it work in an average week, and the most you would ever use, say around yom tov time. And then get rid of the rest. If you know the maximum containers is 20, then you don't need 45.

Personally I’d throw out all plastic (which I did) and only keep the glass.

I saw this at someone's house and thought it was brilliant, it does look messy but maybe you have a cabinet you can hide it in: big mesh bag like for storing bath toys! She stores the lids and glass containers separately (those tend to stack nicely anyhow).
