i have a serious issue with these … a few months back I just threw them all away and kept only a three of them … but then i realized i need them badly specially for those times that I am hosting dawats …
Even for day to day use, I do need loads of them … but cant keep them organized .. I have tried and failed at the following methods:
I put them all in a plastic carrier bag .. but kept losing their lids or dabba’s
Tried putting the containers on one side and lids on the other … still the same , when you need a dabba a particular size either the dabba is missing or the lid
then i tried to leave the lid on each dabba and place them systematically in the cupboard , but hey i found out that i am not that organized and after two days of maintaining the descipline i lose it again and they end up becoming loads of dabba’s without their lids !
I have about 20 small ( really small ones ) 18 medium size ones and 6 large ones ..
I bought a set of tupper ware (actually I have a set from Lidl, and clip storage boxes from John Lewis and TK Maxx) which I swear by and , that I can stack one inside the other, with the lids closed.
These I store in a seperate storage box. I also ensure I when they are washed they are air dried and stored with the lid closed.
i have the exact same masla :( i keep losing the lids and i dont have that much storage space to put them all lidded up together in a cupboard or something

Can you place them one inside the other, and the lids kept together with an elastic band or something?
I think the first thing to do when organising tupperware is to, match lids with containers and then get rid of any randoms, so only keep those containers that have fitting lids.
Then try and stack them one inside the other, with similar sized lids also kept together with an elastic band.
I guess the key then is to maintain the tupperware storage system.
I also had this problem of losing the lids! Where do they disappear to?? Now I have clip on ones, you never lose the lids and they are better quality. They can also fit inside each other lidded up.
This is best thing after sliced bread. WE LOVE this so much. Need very little space. Give use around 25 container of 3 different sizes in little over 1 cu ft space. For added convenience base of this is revolving one too.
We have bought couple for us and have sent this as gift to Pakistan to parents. They too absolutely love it.
I](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BGTURM/?tag=heatipped- 20)f you are in Canada, you can get it even cheaper at XS-Cargo (for $10 only). We actually found and bought it from XS Cargo. Although the brand of product at XS is different than the one on above link but we have no complains and we are using it from last year or so.
wow , I love the rubber band idea ... I think i will do that for the time being .. coz the thing is instead of investing in containers from the market , I just keep saving the icecream containers and the butter containers ... and eventually they are easy to give away too , for example when I am giving away food to others , they dont have to worry about returning the bartan back ! tanks so much Enigmatic for sharing the idea ..

Totally love this thing ... how tall is it ? can it fit inside the cupboard ?
paltic containers are NOT good for health to use. switch to gl;ass containers. my Bhabhi threw all the plastic ones out. it's NOW illegal in our home to have a plastic container. may be it's like going too far :D
