Do you hate sifting through 14 different tupperware lids trying to find one that fits atop your tub of leftovers so you can throw it in the fridge already? I do. Don't wait until spring to clean out your drawers and cupboards... do it now.
ORGANIZING TUPPERWARE
Step 1: Take a look at your sad, disorganized tupperware drawer and say "goodbye."
Step 2: Make "like piles" of all the tupperware by stacking similar shapes and sizes each in a separate pile. Do the same with the lids.
Step 3: Match up each container with its rightful lid. 1 container & 1 lid... no need to keep 3 extra lids for only 1 container. (p.s this is a great time to assess what sizes you're lacking and need)
Step 4: Here comes the hard part.... THROW AWAY ANY EXTRA LIDS!!!
Step 5: You may want to keep any extra containers for storage around the house. I use mine for organizing our tiny drawer-less refrigerator.
Step 6: Get out your trusty Label Maker - or use permanent marker (it won't last as long) and label each container and matching lid with coordinating numbers.
Example:
All five of the small round Zipl0c lids are #2 and all five of the small round Zipl0c containers are #3. All three of the square GlAd lids are #4, all three of the square GlAd containers are #4.
Any single sets are labled as S1, S2 etc. and they'll be stored in a separate pile.
Step 7: Stack and store in whatever method makes sense to you and your needs.
P.S. Kevin just laughed when I showed him "the system."
