I love The Container Store. I really can’t contain myself!
They carry so many products that are perfect for organizing pantries but my very favorite, ‘can’t-live-without’ items that I get from The Container Store are as follows:

There are several reasons why I don’t like to store my leftovers (or any food or drink items, for that matter), in plastic containers. Without going too in-depth, my main reasons for this have to do with aesthetic and, more importantly, health safety.
