Yep. It’s bulky but that makes them very tight. I don’t mind that part but I guess to each their own. My sister uses glass jars for most things because she has a separate stand up freezer and has tons of space for them which I don’t have. Everyone is going to have slightly different use cases but it’s all a win moving away from disposable anything!

I’m not sure they’ve been around long enough to know if they’re BIFL. I bought some Stasher and I bought another brand set at Costco. The Stasher are better. Better sealing and more options for shapes and functions. I love the ability to microwave, boil, refrigerate or freeze in them as well as dry storage. Dishwasher safe. Great for travel stuff outside the kitchen. I do feel like I’m getting my money’s worth and I cut waaaaaay back on disposable plastic (I still will use for a few use cases). So they are a bit pricey but I’m 18 months in and no regrets.

Ditto. I got a freebie and gave it a whirl but it is annoying as heck (it has parts that pop off because it’s made to be interchangeable for logos) and I’m about to pry it off and replace it with a real popsocket again.

Popsockets brand are really strong for this type of item. Given the abuse and wear they take they last well. I’ve tried two others and they don’t hold up. Given you’re trusting an expensive lifeline item to it, worth the extra dollars to get the real one.

Unless it’s an electric water heater. In which case the gas company will look puzzled.

Today’s Corelle is a different formula then the old stuff we grew up with. It’s not AS shatterproof but it’s still an excellent choice. You can buy open stock white Vitrelle single dishes at WalMarts. After I got tired of some fancy square plates I had bought and never used I bought white Corelle and I’m very happy with it. They also having serving bowls and platters. For the price you can’t beat it.

Or the outlets if you live near one. I just picked up a vintage handmade 100% Cashmere coat for $1.49/lb. Steal.

I’ve had a large Anker one for about 7 years and still use it.

You can filter by ‘retailer’ or ‘seller’ on most of these sites that have marketplaces. I would buy direct from Walmart and feel pretty good about it. Not from Amazon because of their inventory co-mingling with third party sellers.

I have frozen soup in them and they expand well and the seal held. So you’re not far off.
