If There’s A Cooking Marathon In Your Future, Do Yourself A Favor And Get These Reviewer-Loved Food Storage Containers ASAP

When you want to save precious space in your cabinets this colorful and highly reviewed set from Walmart is a safe bet. This Mainstays plastic rainbow food storage set contains seven containers with lids ranging in size from the largest holding 5.5 liters to the smallest holding 0.23 liters. The highly reviewed set found at Walmart, is only $6 dollars making it the one of the most affordable options we've found. A great little find, that's noted by reviewers for being durable plastic and BPA-free. Walmart buyers like that the alternate colors for the lids make for easier use (less time guessing which size fits which container), and that the set is dishwasher safe and even freezer safe and will continue to hold shape after several uses.

Promising review: "These containers are perfect for saving space and keeping track of lids. They all fit nicely together and the lids snap into place on top of each other. The varying sizes are helpful for multiple food options. The lids fit nice and tight so no air gets in." — MacsMom

Rubbermaid continues its reign as the king of containers, and does it with an airtight lid sealing grip. These BPA-free Rubbermaid Brilliance plastic food storage containers have over 120,000 reviews and 4.7 stars. You can get endless pack sizes and combinations on Amazon (pictured here is a set of five 3.2-cup containers). There's even claims from reviewers that the plaster version doesn't retain the infamous tomato sauce stain that haunts many a plasticware owner.

Promising review: "These are by far the BEST food storage containers I’ve ever used. I love how clear they are, I like seeing my food and find I’m eating more colorful fruits and veggies because they look pretty. And these things seal tight, my soup has never leaked out. And the best part? They do NOT stain. Like, at all. Leave spaghetti in there for a few days and still it washes easily with no staining. Top shelf dishwasher safe works great but no stains even with handwashing. Just buy them, they are worth the hype." — Stephanie

These glass storage canisters with bamboo lids look like a high-end choice from Crate and Barrel, but for a much more budget-friendly price. Each lid has a silicone seal to make sure your goods stay airtight and kept fresher for longer. While the glass is easy to clean and dishwasher-safe, the brand recommends hand-washing the wood lids. This stackable set of six comes is varying sizes for any of your pasta, grain or snack needs, but the brand sells additional sets and container sizes depending on your kitchen needs.

Promising review: "Love the look and feel of these. Trying to replace plastics and worn out containers. The glass is thick, but not too heavy. The lids seal perfectly. I read many reviews and was skeptical, but am happy I bought them. I purchase pasta in cellophane bags and on my shelf they crack. These are keeping everything in perfect condition." — Elaine

This Amazon Basics Tritan plastic food storage set is made using the same well-reviewed Tritan plastic as the previously-mentioned Rubbermaid Brilliance stackable containers, but for roughly the same price as five Rubbermaid containers, this Amazon set about double in size. It has over 10,000 Amazon reviews and a 4.2-star rating, with buyers mostly thrilled with their purchase and a few warning to avoid microwaving the containers with the lids on and to consider hand-washing the pieces so that they’ll last longer. Like the Rubbermaid Brilliance containers, these are also stain- and odor-proof with lids that seal tightly.

Promising review: "Before buying these I had bought some similar ones of another brand (Sistema). I couldn't believe it when I found the other ones would pour out liquids when fully sealed. I took a chance on these Tritan containers from Amazon and I immediately tested them--filled with some water, put on lids, and tilted them over the sink -- not a drop leaked! I needed containers that were fully sealed against spilling as well as against air and sugar ants. These do the trick! I have mints in one of the containers, and when it is sealed you cannot smell the mints--that's excellent! Plus, I love how these are beautifully crystal clear. Great containers! I will be buying more." — Idahome

You’ll be the envy of every home organizer's pantry dreams with this 38-piece food storage set that even comes with reusable chalkboard labels and a marker to banish any uncertainty about which flour is all-purpose and which one is almond. This Vtopmart airtight containers set has over 2,000 reviews on Amazon and a 4.4 rating, with reviewers pleased with the quality of the containers and variety in sizes for small items and ones for bulk storage. They're also easy to stack. This is the set you buy when you're ready to trick yourself into believing you're going to actually have a pantry worth showing off to your friends – and if you don't need a whole 38-piece set, you can get a 7-piece or 14-piece combination too.

Promising review: "I like these storage containers so much that I eventually bought three different sets because I wanted my whole pantry to look neat and organized." — Goget44

The ProKeeper baker’s storage set is a durable and smart five-container set designed with a professional kitchen storage in mind. Reviewers love that their brown sugar and other ingredients are staying fresher longer because of the ProKeeper's airtight silicone seal, along with features like stainless steel clasps, hidden magnetic compartments for measuring spoons and built-in levels for precisely measuring out ingredients. It's on the higher end of products in this roundup, but worth it if you appreciate the efficiency of the design and are an aspiring baker.

Promising review: "Love every piece in this set! Brown sugar has never been so soft and ready to use. They are air-tight, easy to fit, and labeling them with the provided labels is easy. You can also create your own ingredient library! Worth every penny for everything these storage canisters come with and the peace of mind that they provide." — Jill Houle

People really love OXO’s kitchen goods, like this bench scraper and veggie peeler and of course, these long-lasting food storage containers with “good grips.” This 10-piece Pop container set isn't cheap, but it has a longstanding fandom and reputation for durability with 4.6 stars on Amazon. The lids are stackable and airtight, and have a push-button design for secure sealing. If you’re overhauling your whole pantry, you can get a 20-piece set on sale for $180 right now – 22% off the suggested retail price of $230 – or, for smaller spaces, this five-piece set is $44 right now.

Promising review: "Outstanding Storage Containers, just press top and thats it! It should be the LAW :) that ALL containers should adopt this method, GREAT JOB OXO!!!!" — ARMANDO JAIMES

Love oxo containers. My 2nd set. These a little different from my set 10 years ago, but still work with the same pop tops.” – Rockie

“These do exactly what they’re supposed to and they look great. The only pantry storage product I’ve bought in the last three years. Easy to clean and keeps my pantry staples fresh. Super easy to pop open and seals tight.” — Annie Kellum

Another winner from OXO is this 8 piece pre-labeled Pop container set to help you keep your ingredients and pantry supplies organized. Baking enthusiasts love the sleek design and how fresh these containers keep their pantry goods. One reviewer also mentioned the push lid that OXO uses is incredibly helpful for people with arthritis. Many reviewers mentioned watching the instructional video first on how to properly clean the lids – the sealing technology contains multiple pieces.

Promising Review: "Ultimate in food storage containers. The "push button" seal lock works perfectly and soooo easy to use. Square shape makes for efficient storage. Seems to be sturdy and well made, so should be a very long term investment." — Ken Johnson

This huge set comes at a pretty shocking value, with a total of 24 containers and 24 lids for... well, $24. Like the pricier options in this roundup, the set is made from BPA-free polypropylene, and can be used in the fridge, microwave, and dishwasher. The containers are on the smaller side, so this might not be a full pantry overhaul despite the amount of containers sold, but the lids are super leak proof and even comes with nifty sticky labels and a chalk pen for labelling.

Promising review: "Absolutely love them.I put soup in one, locked the lid, and purposely turned it up side down. Not one drop came out, as stated. So glad I purchased these." — Sheila

There are few things as infuriating as opening a bag of rice and having the small pieces launch themselves into a thousand places all over your kitchen. If this problem also irks you, this might be the most brilliant and needed food container in this roundup. With over a thousand reviews and a 4.6-star rating, this rice container and dispenser is not only functional, but nice-looking enough to leave out on your kitchen counter. The glass top container allows you to see how much rice you have left, and the top removable cover has a tight inner sealing ring to ensure freshness. Reviewers love the look of the dispenser, its size, and the quality – and many pointed out it's not just for rice, but flour, cereal and even parrot food. There’s even a timer recorder embedded in the lid so that you can remember the date that you added ingredients.

Promising Review: "This rice dispenser is super good, it holds 20 pounds of rice and will make your work easier, including its own cup. You just have to touch the button and the rice quickly falls directly into the container." — Ania Díaz Suárez

These square borosilicate glass storage containers with bamboo lids come in a set of 12 and come with 114 pre-printed labels (available in either black or white) for easy organization. The font is slightly reminiscent of now-shuttered foodie haven Dean & DeLuca and could make your pantry look like something worthy of a professional chef – even if you're only filling the containers with Oreos. It contains four 30-ounce containers and eight smaller ones that hold 17 fluid ounces each.

Promising review: "I usually don't write reviews, but this product is definitely worth the money. It looks beautiful and has greatly helped me organize and declutter my pantry. I read the dimensions beforehand, so I was aware that the largest containers are not enormous, but they still made a significant difference in my kitchen organization. I love it!" — Paola Medina
