Good Food Storage Containers?

sunset30

Does anyone have any recommendations for good dry food storage containers for the pantry that they registered for and are happy with? I'm looking for containers for storing things like flour, sugar, rice, etc. I have a bit of time before my registry completion discounts lapse and have some gift cards to the stores I registered at, and thought they'd be a good thing to get. Thanks!

We just use glass canisters.

Like these:

I prefer glass containers.    Ours are similar to these:

I had glass containers, but I'm in the process of switching to these:

I like them so much more.

We just went to BBB and looked at all the containers, and ended up buying a variety of plastic rectangular ones with snap lids.  We wanted to make sure that they would be airtight and would fit a dry measure cup easily, and it was easiest just to go and look at everything.

Glasslock is my favorite.

Glass is safer for food storage than plastic, in my opinion.  We have been using le parfait and ball canning jars mostly

we have the OXO good grips (we got ours from BBB but I have seen them at Kohls and even HomeGoods as well). So far I am a fan.

We have the OXO Pop containers and so far so good.  My aunt bought the set for us because she has them and loves them.  They're plastic but they are bpa free.
