    I love spinach and that is a great way to reuse the containers. It keeps them out of the landfill and keeps your pieces nice and neat.

    Great way to store these strips. I love that one of them says "Organic".

    That's a great idea! I've had so many of them and didn't even think to save them. Now I will! Thanks!

    yes they stack nice and you can see in them.I just wish the stickers cleaned off easy-but I can live with it since it is free storage

    For PPing scraps, I use the containers from Hillshire Farms (and others) from the vacuum packed cold cuts. They are wonderful.and two containers fit on each shelf of my hanging canvas shoe bag, which has ten shelves.

    Really keeps them in place and easy to find.
