Sweet idea but suggest you say goodbye to your unit once you give them to her.

Judging from the map, I may be the only buyer from Wyoming. YeeHa.....

You might be the only Wooter in Wyoming. Well except for that Jackelope guy.

Yes don't buy those at the dollar store. They will only leave you frustrated. Lids won't snap on and if you are lucky enough to get them on they come off easily. These are a great value and will last forever. I received a couple for Christmas a few years back and use them daily and wouldn't be without them. Friends and family actually try to steal them. I'm in for three so I can give them to the people to keep them from trying to walk off with mine.

+1. In for three... one for me, two for Christmas gifts.

Throw your old Cool Whip containers out! I bought the 18-piece last month for $9.99. This is a better deal. The lids fit tightly and are easy to store. Not only do they somewhat nest, but being square you can organize them better in your cupboard. Bonus: tomato sauces don't stain these as easily as other products.

Very light weight. Amazon's shipping weight is 5 lbs, but I think that's high.

mmtgr wrote:No,just a ? Can these be used to store loose flour, powders airtight?

Yes, and that's what I bought my last set for. Now I'm buying more because even though I got three sets last time they're all in use! I buy a lot of bulk foods from the natural foods store and this way my pantry's not full of plastic bags with twist ties.

Have you tried microwaving at partial power?

Also, re: the dishwasher, mine have done great. I either run them on the top rack, or the bottom rack *with heated dry turned off*.

For those complaining about 14 v. 28, get over it. Annoying though it may be, it's standard in the food storage biz to advertise the # of lids and containers separately. Think if one manufacturer tried to change that now: If they advertised a 14 piece set people would think it was actually only 7 containers with lids.

My husband convinced our 8yo that these are called "lick and locks" so that's what they'll forever be known as in our house.

Great containers for hiding Geocaches.

What? Isn't glass BPA free?

I bought one. These have sold out in the past, but not this time.

This are good for holding batteries, nuts, bolts, transistors, diodes, thumb drives, duct tape, and spare fingers for those days when you just can't keep it all together.

My grandpa used to store spare vacuum tubes in 'em until he upgraded. We'll miss him.

Im a sucker- Bought 2 sets.
They look so cool.

In for one - couldn't resist. When those cheap "disposable" and probably not BPA free containers at the grocery store are $3 for a pack of 4 this is a no brainer! Time to clean out the "tupperware" cabinet!

I purchased 3 sets last time and they are awesome! I have used them to store bread in the freezer as we don't eat very much and a loaf would go bad. We grind our own coffee and these work awesome for storage.

I know take opened serial out of the bag/box and store in these containers. Also, packs of sugar/sweetener will not get wet or damp inside these. Tons of uses for these.

I have tossed all of my old junk storage containers for these. I just ordered 3 more sets and will gift them for the upcoming holidays.

I was wondering if these things just lock. I did a little research and found that not only do they LOCK, they also LOCK! That's double the lockage for one low price!

I'm sold!

One for me..one for a wedding gifty.
In fur 2

In for 2. Figured my mom will love these as she was super protective over her tupperware from years past.

Since these are leak proof these will be awesome come this winter for storing homemade soups and stews in the freezer.

I'm in...looking forward to replacing the ones my family has lost.

Other than that, I have had these containers for years and love them in general. I have had a few of the clips snap off on me, which renders the lids basically useless. But I don't expect them to last forever. I have had other similar style containers that leak. These do NOT leak.

I would never try to seal a container and then try to make a giant ice cube. Water expands when it goes into a solid state. Even if you leave room for the expansion, you're dealing with an air tight system. I have many of these Loc-n-Loc containers. They are the best.

alien88 wrote:These are most excellent for use as Geocache containers!

Indeed, I was just thinking the same thing!

I got some of these when they were available last time. I have been very pleased with them.

Are these made in China?

If these were in glass they would be awesome! Even though they are bpa free.... still plastic. Yuk....get them in GLASS!

Will these turn off-color if microwaved with spaghetti or other similar red sauces such as the cheap ones from the dollar store do?

IN FOR ONE! MY FIRST WOOT PURCHASE!

In for 3. After transporting soup to work for lunch in either an old Skippy peanut butter jar or gelato jar this week, I'd say my household is in desperate need of good food storage ware.

The rave reviews from my fellow Wooters definitely helped me to go forth with the purchase. Not to mention that a set of 3 is only $5 and some change more expensive than a set of 1 on Amazon.

In the past I have used a similar product--not a cheap knock-off but another brand--and I have to say I was not happy with the removable silicon seal. In my experience it tended to get stinky. I used the containers often to bring oatmeal to work and what I found was that the seal--even if I removed it and washed it--got "yeasty" over time, with a distinct smell.

I chucked the 3 or 4 I had and am pretty much put off these type of seals. These could be different, but I personally won't pop on it.

Am I missing something? Content count is only 14 pieces, but it claims to be 28? Did I forget how to read or did they make an error?

In for one. Plan to use some in the pantry to store flour, sugar, etc., and the rest in the garage to store the grains I use to brew beer (keep the grain weevles out or in).

These are NOT...repeat NOT...strong enough to run over with your big orange van!

So...how's the dealio sound?

They count the lids seperate.

Im in for 2 to make it a true 28 pieces...LOL

How well do these stack when empty in the cabinet. I can see 28 pcs all over...comments?

I figured that out after comparing it to Amazon. Hah. Sells there for $45.50.

In for two.

looks like i wasn't the only one who thought the exact same thing

They sell out quickly because geocachers snap them up. They are great geocache containers.

As soon as they come on Woot nearly every geocache forum and Facebook page has a link to them.

Great for those supremo buds.

Will these stain from food such as spaghetti sauces, especially if warmed up in microwave?

Can any body tell me what are the dimensions of the box please , thanks!!!!
