One more note - I found that buying two of the 24 piece sets was several dollars cheaper than buying either the 50 or 48 piece sets, and would provide a nicer distribution that would fit my needs better. Prices will change, of course, so this may not always be true, but it was for me.

Here's some comparison data for buying a 50 piece set, a 48 piece set, 2x24 piece set, and 3x24 piece set, all of which are in a similar price range:
1x50 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 3x2, 3x3, 3x5, 2x7, 2x4.8divided
1x48 piece set: 6x0.5, 5x1.25, 2x2, 3x3, 4x5, 3x7, 1x14
2x24 piece set: 4x0.5, 4x1.25, 4x2, 4x3, 4x5, 4x7
3x24 piece set: 6x0.5, 6x1.25, 6x2, 6x3, 6x5, 6x7

I just picked up this set from my local Sam's Club for $19.75 (plus tax) and it's great. For me a perfect mix of large and small containers.

I recommend this set, but suggest looking at your local Wal-Mart or Sam's Club first, as the price here (around $35) is a bit steep, which I find unusual for Amazon.com (where I purchase almost everything I need).

We had a set from Costco that was starting to disintegrate after about a year of use and we replaced it with this set - we put ours through the microwave and dish washer on a regular basis. This Rubbermaid set looks and feels much more durable than our current set, although the downside is that each piece is heavier. With the old set you could flex the lids and containers fairly easily but these hardly bend at all. It does take a little more force to get the lids to close properly, but to us that just means they will take that much more abuse before spilling all over the floor. The set contains a lot of small and medium sized containers, and as a result we had to go out and buy a couple of larger ones to complement the lone large container in the set. Overall an excellent purchase, although it sounds like you can get it for less from some of the warehouse stores.

I imagined that with these Rubbermaid food storage Containers that I would never have to hunt for a lid to go with the container again - wrong! My mistake. However, the containers themselves are not as good quality as some of the other Rubbermaid containers that I have purchased at the local super-market. The lids are all plastic unlike some of the others with a rubber type border to the lid that seems to make a tighter seal. The plastic the containers are made of is cloudy and not the translucent of some others. They generally don't look or handle as expensive as they were. The containers themselves do not fit easily to the lids on the bottom. You have to work to get the things to fit tight. That's the whole idea of the design. Next time I'll be more of a comparison shopper and actually look at the real thing before buying. I still fell like the person on television when she opens her cabinet and an avalanche of lids and plastic containers fall out on top of her. I think there is a new product in which all lids fit all containers somehow. I'll investigate that before I buy again. On a good note, the sizes of the containers are nice. The smaller ones for sauces and condiments etc. The 1/2 cup and 2 cups sizes are very useful.

Love these. Get them if you need containers. Seemed like a lot of tiny containers to me but I use the small ones for homemade baby food ALL THE TIME. Great product!!

"I'd like options for lid colors. Still a great set. The lids to work great and they seal tightly. They are labeled how many cups on the bottom. I bought 2 extra 14-Cup Containers to go with my set. Stacking them in the fridge is wonderful and washing them is a breeze. I haven't had any staining or melting issues and I have stored hot food, but no spaghetti sauce yet."

This is a fantastic product! I threw out my old tupperware and I havn't been disappointed. Great for storing in the cupboard or the fridge, great space saver.

We have had a variety of food storage containers and these are by far the best. The lids fit on the containers perfectly. We've stored tomato foods in them then microwaved and no stains occur. They are easy to store in our cabinets.

I received this set last year and I've never kept my plasticsware so organized! It is a very good set which contains all sizes for everyday use.

This product is great. It has allowed me to free up a lot of space in the cabinet that used to house all of the various plastic containers collected over the years. Now I have a neat stack with lids attached. The only problem I have had is that sometimes it is hard to snap the lids in place.
