Mainstays Plastic Food Storage Canister Set, 8 Pieces, Clear

This review is for Mainstays 8-Piece Plastic Pantry Food Storage Container Set, Kitchen Pantry Organizer Canisters for Dry Food Storage and Pantry Organization. It was still priced still priced in September of 2026 for the price of $8.97. Thank you Walmart for keeping this product affordable. I was excited that I found this product again. My first set was probably purchased 35 to 40 years ago, in the late 1980s. It is branded "Rubbermaid" on the bottom of each piece. I have used them throughout the years and still have them. They look good and still close tightly with a snap. That set is in use for my dachshunds food. The second from the largest container cracked on the corner when I dropped it about 20 years ago. I went looking for a Rubbermaid set but none were available. Instead, about 15 years ago, I found these in Walmart, branded as "Mainstays". Yep, they were the same and very quality made. I have since purchased 2 new sets for my use and recently 2 sets each for a young nephew and niece because they are useful and durable. They keep items safe and closed in your pantry. They nest and the individual canisters are a good size. This product is absolutely the best. BPA-free plastic too !!!! If you want glass containers, consider using Ball Wide-mouth Mason Jars. I use the 64-ounce jars and they are a reasonable price too. They have leakproof lids, for sale separately. It is a more economical glass storage option. I use that for many food items. I

I filled these with different snacks as a gift for an elderly lady's birthday. I bought labels to put on them too. When I go visit I will refill them. They had a tight seal to keep the food fresh.

Great canisters for the price, large one fit flour, second, coffee, third, sugar and last one was for my leftover bag of rice. Theyre basic, and not fancy, but they get the job done!

Love these containers. The price doubled in the last few years, but they are well worth the money. I have several sets and so far only one container and one lid has cracked. They are very durable, although not lifetime durable.

I had them bc before mine were old

I love the variety of sizes and the thickness of the plastic of the containers. Lids could be a little thicker and snap on easier but they will do the job.

The canister set had good sizes. The look of them was fine. The lids/seal however were terrible. The lids easily came off. They were a stale mess waiting to happen

Received 4 containers, but only 2 lids. The lip broke off on the large container when removed from bag.

I will never buy the mainstay brand for this particular container ever again! And to make the situation worse…. I had a lid that was not included with this 4 container set. I was sent 4 containers with 3 loose fitting lids! I'm returning this useless and incomplete set immediately! I will purchase the Rubbermaid brand like I have now but it's very dull because my family and I used it for 20 plus years.

Only received 3 of the 4 containers
