Hi there,

Nowadays everything in comes in standardised sizes and that's why items from different origins sometimes fit together surprisingly well!

What you can see in the pictures below are my repurposed food containers and in them my selfmade portions of rice pudding on their way into my freezer. :-)
The pots are Sainsbury's creme, yoghurt, etc. pots, I removed the foil that covered them and had all the writing on it. And the lid is from Lidl's cappucino, Tesco also has one with red lid.
I'm not saying it is completely airtight but close enough to it, since most food containers you can buy aren't airtight either even if it's written on them (I only know 2 expensive brands that are truly air tight).

I do store half onions, small pieces of cheese and lots of other stuff in them, they are very handy. And they are FREE. You wouldn't believe that they are even microwave safe. I don't have a dishwasher so I don't know about that.

By the way this lid also fits on some food cans... :-)

It's worth to keep our eyes open, isn't it?
