What containers do you use for leftovers? We have been using heavy duty, dishwasher safe ones with gaskets from Wegman's but after 5 years they are getting pretty worn out. I see a ton of similar options on Amazon. Not sure if one brand is better than the others.
Thanks |

Pyrex with some high rated silicone lids from Amazon. I hope they are not poison but the Pyrex plastic lids don't last for crap.
We cook most dinners so there's always leftovers! |

Pyrex here, too.
All but a few lids remain. Cling wrap works fine. |

Rubbermaid.
They seal better in the freezer than Gladware. I've had both. |

Normally my use of food containers is when I have leftovers and 87% of the time they go in the fridge.
For the most part I use glass containers with lids that clamp on the dish, all different sizes. If I am going to put something in the freezer I will use the Rubbermaid stuff. I will cook stuff in the glass containers but if in a Rubbermaid container I will put it on a plate first. I don't trust heat with plastics not have something unwanted end up in my food.  Maybe I am wrong but I thought Pyrex got discontinued or maybe they just got bought out, think Corning ware was part of the deal or something. Maybe I am thinking of something else? |

Glass for container, BPA free plastic lid with gasket and locking flaps. I'll grab whatever is on sale when I see them, usually a two pack of some size. I've found the larger containers don't seal as well as the smaller (1 quart) ones.
I have a bunch of plastic containers that won't seal, so I use them for hobbies. For canisters, I bought a dozen wide mouth quart Bell canning jars, and a dozen plastic lids. I also use the half gallon jars for rice and coffee. |

Laugh if you want but deli take out containers. Between the kids and significant other they break or melt everything else these have been cheaper in the long run. I get them locally for less $8 for 50 containers and $6 for the lids

Pyrex = freezer to microwave safe
Any foods high in acid (tomatoes) will stain and etch into plastic containers. |

We use Pyrex and I have a case of disposable half quart deli containers that we can send stuff with people or freeze stuff in. They're $35 for 240.

She claims that plastic retains the taste of everything it touches. My sense of taste is almost completely gone. Everything is just kinda bland these days (but I do not salt anything, so not surprising). |

containers made of GLASS for storing food in the fridge.
IF they have a locking lid, they have separate, HINGED clips to secure them (avoid the ones with molded plastic that are part of the lid, they never hold reliably) YMMV Pyrex ones with their one-piece snap on lids are usually GTG |

Don't have to clean out moldy gross containers of food your kids hid from you.
