Glass containers over bags

That's fair. Do you have glass food storage recommendations?

Pyrex is the generic answer,but the lids wear out over time

I have a set of rectangular nesting Pyrex with lids 20 years old. The lids disintegrated and I got replacements on Amazon.

If you're trying to avoid plastic containers, working glasses with lids like these from Crate and Barrel or Luminarc are great for food prep storage or small portion leftovers. I have these jars in the 14 and 21oz. They can also double as wider drinking glasses. The lids will probably fail over time, but the replacements are cheap, and the sizing specs seem to have stayed the same for decades. For even smaller storage to hold things like sauces/dressings I use 4oz Ball canning jars.

I buy Oui yogurt and recently found lids on Amazon for them. They’re great for packing snacks or saving small leftovers. We’ve been trying to reduce plastic in our house so I also find myself using them as drinking glasses or trying to repurpose them when getting a gift for someone. Not great for stacking but I love how multipurpose they’ve become.

We had a coupon for oui yogurt and I just bought lids to reuse the jars for chia pudding!

I eat the dairy free yogurt and it’s so expensive so I feel like it’s one way to try to get my moneys worth.
