11 Best Food Storage Containers for Organizing Your Whole Kitchen
Avoid food waste in your pantry and your fridge!
By 
We’ve been lucky to get a lot of pantry organization tips from Ree Drummond over the years. From how she stocks a pantry to how she refreshes her pantry space, one thing is certain: She sure knows her way around food storage. And with a fridge packed with leftovers, it’s an absolute must to have the best food storage containers to keep everything organized and avoid waste.
Our Top Picks
But that’s the thing about food storage: It can get complicated to address pantry organization and refrigerated items like fresh veggies and leftovers at the same time. And that’s without the fact that sometimes you need storage to double as meal prep containers. No matter how you organize your kitchen storage, there is something perfect on this list for you.
Here, we’ve included storage containers for everything on your grocery list from pantry staples to fresh foods, ways to store leftovers and snacks, and versatile picks that can be used interchangeably. There are both clear glass and plastic options, stackable containers, and nesting and collapsible sets if you lack space. And of course, we had to include a set from The Pioneer Woman herself, because who knows better than Ree?!
Once you've tackled your food storage conundrum, may we also suggest you invest in spice jars, too? There's no sense in having fresh food if your spices go bad. Then you'll really have Ree-level #pantrygoals!
