You can simply not have enough storage. We put stuff away after each dinner now to make lunches for the kids, and that entails two sets of different storage bins as one of our two children has food allergies. We really like these rubbermaid sets as you get two 1/2-, 1-1/4-, 2-, 3-, 5-, and 7-cup food-storage containers with matching lids. They have super-clear bases allow for better visibility of inside contents, and the lids snap together and to base bottoms which makes a totally space-efficient design for storing. The storage of the storage is key. We simply didn’t have enough space until we got these rubbermaid containers and stored them in our “storage drawer”.
