Organizational Sunday Challenge 8: Let the Lids Go

Heather says:

Last week’s refrigerator clean out likely freed up some leftover containers. Today your mission is to pull out all of your storage containers and make sure each and every one has a lid. The lid should actually fit and create a seal. If not?

Toss it in the recycling bin.

I’ve found it useful to use a plastic dish tub to store lids. 

I recently had a question about removing tomato stains from plastic storage containers. It’s a giant pain in the rear and while a chlorine bleach soak can remove the stains, some may remain. I’ll be answering this question fully later in the week. 

Preventing tomato stains in the first place is your best bet. Freeze things like leftover spaghetti sauce in gallon ziplock bags. Lay the bag flat on a baking sheet to freeze to better utilize your freezer space.

Glass storage containers are another option.

Didn’t feel this challenge was ambitious enough? I’ve got a bonus challenge. Look through your mugs and random plastic cups. Do you use them? Do you like using them? No? Out the door they go.

Cheap freebie plastic cups can be recycled, mugs and old glassware can be donated.
