I want to start meal prepping, I got all the food yesterday but realised I don't have enough containers. I want to rush into a shop get the containers and come home.
I've never been in a B&M or Home Bargains but i'm thinking these maybe the shops i'm after?
Which would be best for 4 x 3 different sizes for breakfast, lunch, dinner meal prepping - thank you!

Lidl/Aldi quite often have sets of plastic containers.

We have an Independant cheapy shop in our town which has a good range of plastic containers.

Anything with tomato in will stain so I keep a few just for those meals.

It's great to have a few meals ready to take out and defrost.

I really rate the ikea 365+ ones with the clip lids, they are properly leak proof so good for taking in your bag. If you want to rush in and out Ikea might not be the solution though!

They come in a few different sizes but I’ve mostly got these ones https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/ikea-365-food-container-with-lid-square-glass-plastic-s39269120/ which are good for 1-2 portions of things like bolognese, curry etc.

You can get the base part as either glass or plastic. I went for glass as I hate those orange stains on plastic tubs and they can go in the oven too but the downside is they are heavier and a bit more expensive.

Asda sell “glass roasters” with a clip lock lid and steam vent. They have several sizes to suit your needs.
