  • I’m still clinging on to some plastic yogurt pot lids we saved when we realised they were being phased out - suspect it won’t be too long before we need to invest in some replacements though!

    That was a good idea to save some!

    Nor did I until now.  Though it's actually glass meal prep containers, so I'll use them for lunches and hopefully batch cooking if I get myself organised.  The lack of yoghurt pot lids annoys me so they will hopefully be a useful purchase.

    They will hopefully be good.  I was going back to getting the smaller pots because the lack of lids was annoying, I can save money by buying the bigger pots again now!

    They sound good!

    Oh never knew you could get lids , I have ordered a set now, just what I needed . Thanks .
    Glad you've managed to get some too :)
