    My friend is very, very neat and organised. I took a tip from her and now keep all the lids in a plastic bag in the cupboard along with the containers stacked inside each other as far as possible. Square ones all in one pile, round in another, and rectangular together. I still have an 'avalanche' in mine and have to sort it every few weeks. Again, I cull any mismatched items. I do keep lids on the small tubs as it is easier.
    Job number 1 for this morning now.....sort out my tubs cupboard!!!!

    (he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...

    Well timed thread as I have to sort my that seemed to be rammed in various cupboards in the kitchen. The hunt will be on for the matching ones, all others will be donated to the charity shop.

    I culled all my proper Clutterware a while ago, & threw away probably hundreds of pounds of containers as none of the lids fitted, I was somewhat bemused as to where all the lids had gone, a few months later I found a carrier bag with all the darn lids. It doesn't pay for me to try to be organised.
