Always do this one thing before putting your food storage containers away.
An expert at Tupperware, who knows a thing or two about organizing, offers the best ideas.

If you have loads of containers, that can create a precarious, swaying tower.
Thats when you might want to store lids and containers separately, but in the same area.
Next to them, nest the containers by shape and size.

This will help to keep lids in place.
You also can buyspecially made organizersthat keep lids neat.
These organizers store lids together vertically.
They could be a good idea to give some structure to your storage space and keep it organized.
But they are not absolutely necessary, says Escudero.
Some companies, including Tupperware, make containers that can be nested together along with their lids.
There are also combinations where the lids can be snapped underneath the containers so they can be stacked.
If you dont have this, just dedicate one cabinet or drawer for storage.
A deep drawer prevents containers from tipping and can make it easy to get into the container.
Yet shelves, when well organized, can also work perfectly fine," says Escudero.
