I bought ones from poundland which were a good size, and it was only £1 for 10.

Wilkos do a lot of small containers.

What sort of things are you freezing? Sauces I freeze in silicone ice cube trays from ikea, popping them out of the tray and into a bag when solid. Then I can just defrost however many cubes I need.

Sometimes I line boxes with a freezer bag, then remove the bag from the box when frozen.

Tesco sell little foil take away type cartons, right next to the foil. I batch cook for my SIL and these are ideal as they are microwaveable.

I bought these both from Poundstretcher. The round ones were 5 for £1 and the rectangular ones were 10 for £1. The rectangular ones can hold an adult sized portion so plenty big enough.

And they're suitable for the freezer, microwave and dishwasher.

I just use freezer bags for baby food, you can fit more in the freezer.

seamus are those rectangular ones similar to take away rubs? I'm always hankering after more of those...

They are, that's why I bought them. Perfect size for a portion of curry. 😋

I wasn't (and am still not) keen on freezing food in plastic containers. I thought ceramic ramekin dishes were really good for babies and toddlers - they were the right size for portions and could go in freezer and in oven or microwave. I sat them inside larger plastic boxes with lids in the freezer (4-6 in a box) but the food never came in contact with the plastic. You can buy sets of ramekin dishes very cheaply, and once you don't need them for baby/toddler food, you can use them for other things.
