As I can't get all my tupperware in the cupboard. I'm sorry now for all the times that I have panic bought more.

It's a good job the weather has changed.

I need to batch cook as my home cooked ready meal drawer in my kitchen freezer is empty 🙀

But do you have enough lids which fit? That is a perennial problem for me

Yes, what happens to them? It’s not long since I sorted mine out - I don’t even have that many - and there are random ‘spares’ yet again!

I think Tupperware lids are existing alongside odd socks and gloves in the place of lost things…

My children tease me as I have my Tupperware 'system'. I use a sharpie pen and number the lid and base so I can match them together without too much faffing. However, they forget the teasing when they want to find and borrow tupperware from me! smile
Good luck with the batch cooking Kitty.

I've had to buy more to accommodate all the plums we've just picked.
There are lots of boxes, lots of lids but somehow they don't quite match up. What happens to them in the cupboard is a mystery.

mumski, a brilliant idea!

I need to batch cook but there isn't any room in my freezer at the moment.

mumski I did this about 18 months ago.
Now I have some "odd" 2s and 5s...

Perhaps it’s in my airing cupboard….where I found my son’s sock. He hast stayed here for months!

We need to eat stuff from the freezer to make space for the tomatoes, soft fruit and cooked apples I need room for.

I used to be the same but then I bought one of those huge plastic storage boxes to put them in. I keep it in the cupboard under the stairs.

This weather does make you want to batch cook. I’m going down the fruit pie and crumble route.
