Revamping the pantry, going with Oxo Pop containers, which are your favorite sizes/shapes?

[Anonymous]

What is your favorite size/most useful oxo pop? I've decided to revamp my panty and do away with plastic bags, mason jars and boxes! I feel items like lentils, beans, rice, quinoa, couscous, nuts, etc. would be best in like-size containers, just not sure which size or shape would be best. (And I don't want to buy a bunch of one size only to realize another would have worked better.) So, which size/shape do you wish you had more of, or are buying/using most frequently? Any shape work better for stacking and organizing? I bought the 10 pc starter kit, and while I can see each size has it's benefits, I'd like like items to be in like containers. Any opinions or suggestions based on your experience?

Which size/shape have you found most useful? I'm imagining a nice cohesive panty with like items in like containers, but I'm not sure which size works best. Do you store beans, grains, etc? Which size are you using for those? Do you keep them the same? thanks!

We use Oxo Pop containers in our pantry.

Square top 4 qt container for: white/bread/whole wheat flour and white sugar

Rectangle top 1.5 qt container for: brown sugar, rice, quinoa

Square top 2.4 qt container for oats, cake flour

Square top .9 qt container for baking soda/powder

I'm sure I'm missing some items, but those are the four sizes we use.

I thought about this, because I really did like the look of my big jars, but I'm worried about the weight/fragility. We move every couple years due to my husband's job, so I always have weight and packing convenience in the back of my mind.

THank you so much 15:02, this was just what I needed! The 1.5 rectangle was the only extra piece I purchased, at the suggestion of the salesperson, and it just feels right in my hand!
