I have several Snapware containers & lids from 2 or 3 years ago and wanted to get more, only to find the local big stores no longer carry it! I wanted more containers to match the size and interchangeable lids with the containers I already own, because I liked them so much, and didn't want to have to look for and buy a whole new system. These are perfect for pantry storage of dry grains--I am using them for 5 lb bags of flour and they are just right for the size of our shelves. They are a great size and shape for handling, stackable, see-thru, light, and made in USA.
