20 +years ago I bought Tupperware to store my food [and protect it from ants in the kitchen], now, the containers are in very good shape! I have not tried Oxo or the Wal Mart line of containers, and I also use one large glass jar with a flip lock for a 5 pound bag of flour--but I prefer the plastic, just in case the containers would fall, they don't break! labels are very important [differentiate between bread flour/all purpose flour/or sugar , etc], and we tape instructions [like for mashed potatoes] on the lids. good video, thanks!
Very informative, Laura. The closest thing I've found to Tupperware is the Lock & Lock containers from QVC. They also are airtight and hold 5lbs. of flour, a bag of cereal, a bag of pasta noodles, can be stacked and fit on my pantry shelves. They can also be frozen, put into the microwave and dishwasher. I love them and they're more affordable than Tupperware.
Thank you for explaining all the options and things to think about. I also agree with you, Tupperware is hands down the best. In Alaska where I live it can be quite damp. If I don’t put my cereal into Tupperware, it gets mushy or bugs or a whole number of other things can happen. Yes, they are a little pricey, but they last forever!
As newlyweds, we received a nice set of Tupperware “Modular Mates” like your containers here. Not sure if they’re called that now, but ours have lasted 38 years!
4:21 Laura you nailed it! I would love to borrow your enigineering brain ! 😊 Thank you for this information. I fell for the OXO containers because they were pretty. I will be changing to Tupperware.
Gosh, loved this! Have my mom’s flour T container and fear when it cracks 😱. I now will get a starter pack and see what I can store in my cupboards (no pantry).
I had no idea Tupperware was in business! I'm still using a set of yellow canisters that I bought in 1982!! I did read that they are or were in bankruptcy, maybe someone else bought them? Thanks for the comparison video & happy holiday season to you and your family!
Hi Laura. Thank you for this in-depth comparison. I still have many older Tupperware containers that I continue to use. I agree they do seal very tightly. My one big block to decanting snack items like chips and crackers, and pantry items like flour or pancake mix is that those items will not last very long after their "use by" dates, and there is no way to easily label the containers with changing dates every time new ones are purchased. I also would not combine several dates (ex: a box of crackers with a January expiration and a box of crackers with an August expiration.) How do YOU keep track of the "use by" dates? Your advice is most welcome! ❤
Hi Laura , I don’t know if you’re aware of this but Tupperware is going out of business . If they weren’t I personally agree with you about there products - I did use there containers in my kitchen and loved them .
I also love the Tupperware containers BUT they are very expensive if you buy them brand new - I try to find them at second hand stores:) Also not sure if Tupperware is going out of business in Canada? rumour???
If Home Edit and OXO would be smart and listen to you. They should make containers that fit in the standard 12 inch depth of cabinets. Also, think about the size of items you store like a 5 lb bag of flour or large bags of chips. ❤😊 I’ve run into this same issue too.
I just took the Tupperware lid off of my sugar container and it just ripped. I couldn't believe it. It was a blue lid, but I still have brown lids that are good. I was looking at OXO, but flour needs to fit, and also brown sugar. So now I am in a quandary.
I tend to buy a few containers so I know if they will work. If they don’t work wonderfully,I will get different ones and try again. My question is what to do with the ones that don’t work. Do you just donate them?
Tupperware won’t crack when dropped! (Unless they are frozen). I’ve read that the plastic bins do need to be recycled after some point because it catches bacteria - maybe be a UV light will conquer that 🤔
Yes, fully replacing all of one's current containers with Tupperware would definitely be a long-term project. Tupperware containers are a great investment, but they are pricey.
Sadly this Tupperware is not sold in uk. The website only sells about three ranges of food storage. Bread, onions and fridge containers that aren't deep enough for cupboard space😔

Thank you for this video Containers are expensive All info was good
We don't think about how much we can maximise the space and then wonder why there's so much clutter all over the house. Very helpful video. Thankyou

I use dry erase markers on my tupperware. It's easy to wash off and new dates written on.
I LOVE TUPPERWARE
Now tbat we have this addressed...do you have a video on very deep, non movable pantry shelving? Thanks !
Hi Laura ,
I don’t know if you’re aware of this but Tupperware is going out of business . If they weren’t I personally agree with you about there products - I did use there containers in my kitchen and loved them .
Do you have the white fridge with gold handles? I think they are soooo pretty
I also love the Tupperware containers BUT they are very expensive if you buy them brand new - I try to find them at second hand stores:) Also not sure if Tupperware is going out of business in Canada? rumour???
They did file bankruptcy but did not go out of business in the US so I would assume it is the same in Canada?
Rumour, I have a friend that sells Tupperware….and it’s great 😊

What about getting rid of the plastic containers and going to glass containers?
Definitely healthier; not safe to stack, and broken glass is a pain if dropped (shards)
I just took the Tupperware lid off of my sugar container and it just ripped. I couldn't believe it. It was a blue lid, but I still have brown lids that are good. I was looking at OXO, but flour needs to fit, and also brown sugar. So now I am in a quandary.
check with your local dealer for a free ?? replacement lid:)
They will honor the warranty on the lid. Contact local Tupperware representative.

Hmm interesting! I'll have to look into that.
Tupperware is the best! However, they are no longer sold in NZ and Australia.
Oh nooo!
Tupperware is very high priced. I looked at the website and to replace my containers would be $480. That’s gonna need to wait
Yes, fully replacing all of one's current containers with Tupperware would definitely be a long-term project. Tupperware containers are a great investment, but they are pricey.
So where do you find Tupperware now? I thought they were going out of business.
There's a link in this video's description for the Tupperware website where I got mine.
Sadly this Tupperware is not sold in uk. The website only sells about three ranges of food storage. Bread, onions and fridge containers that aren't deep enough for cupboard space😔
Oh noo! I didn't know that :(
Is Tupperware BPA-free??
Google says yes PBA free since 2010.
