there are so many different food storage containers on the market today that it is unwise to pick up that first container that you see. They are also becoming cheaper by the day and there’s no reason to spend five dollars on a big salad container because more than likely you can find an entire set for round same price. And if you have the cheaper units you won’t feel so bad when somebody doesn’t return it after you gave him some food and you can easily replace them rather than an expensive unit that doesn’t get returned
