Don’t underestimate the power of food storage containers. If you don’t have the right ones — either they leak, stain, don’t store well, or all of the above — the overall functionality of your kitchen will go right down the drain. Your leftovers end up spoiling too fast because the lid didn’t snap on tight enough, or perhaps you don’t own enough containers and have to throw good food out prematurely. Still, the tragedy that is wasting food because you don’t have the proper containers is a problem that can be totally avoided — especially when you know which brands to buy from.

That’s where Rubbermaid comes in: The editor-loved brand is offering an impressive 42-piece storage set at a stellar price during Macy’s current sale. Instead of going for over $100 like it normally does, it’s only $36 for a limited time. The deal seems almost too good to be true — you can snag every food container you’ll ever need all at once — so I’m betting that it won’t last long. Read on to find out why you should snag it before it’s gone.

What is the Rubbermaid 42-Piece Food Storage Set?

Say goodbye to chaotic cabinets and food that spoils too soon. This set includes 21 containers (and their matching lids, of course) that you can stash in the fridge, pantry, or freezer. No matter what you place inside of them, it’ll stay fresh thanks to the leak-resistant, flexible lids, which even offer a clear window on top so you can find what you’re looking for faster. The pieces range in size to fit all of your meal prep needs, and because they’re freezer-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe, maintenance is completely painless. When it comes time to use them again, you’ll be able to locate them easily, too — the lids snap onto the container bases and other same-size lids, keeping things orderly.

What Macy’s Reviewers are Saying

Average Rating: 4.9/5

“Never did I think I would be in love with plastic food storage containers, but Rubbermaid has changed that! The Press & Lock design is fabulous! The containers seal extremely tightly to prevent leaking and not only can you stack and lock your filled containers together, the lids lock together as well for streamlined easy storage and organization cutting down on clutter and space used in your kitchen cabinet.” – Juniper

“I love that the set has so many choices when it comes to sizes. Not only do they stack in your cabinet but you can stack and lock them while in the fridge as well.The lids are easy to get on and off but sturdy enough to keep liquid in. I’ve used these in the freezer, dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave without any problems.” – Nicky83

“These storage containers are perfect. The press and lock feature it easy to press and locks tight. I used them in the microwave and there was no melting or disfigurement. They kept the food fresh. The lids snap together so they are easy to find and won’t lose them.” – Jojo76

The stunning sale price of this set is a sign to toss out your mismatched containers that are hogging up too much cabinet space. It’s a small, affordable upgrade that’ll have an enormous impact on your kitchen, especially if meal prepping is up your alley, so don’t put off heading over to Macy’s and adding it to your cart.
