I still have to find the home where plastic lunchboxes and storage containers never lose their lids – or lids lose their containers. It is one of life’s great mysteries, I guess. Or rather, it used to be. Enter Addis Easy Keepers.

Easy Keepers keep lids and containers together.

Sounds too good to be true? The kind folks over at Addis sent me three containers, and they do everything you expect quality plastic storage to do, and more. How do you keep the lid and container from separating? Easy – the lids clip to the bases of the containers to ensure they stay a pair and don’t get lost.

To save space in your cupboards and shelves, the lids can also clip to one another, so you can stack them all in one place and reduce clutter in the kitchen. Alternatively, you can store the containers inside one another, with each one’s lid clipped to its base. You can also use the same lid on two different container sizes: the smalls share the same size lid, as do the two mediums and the large sizes also have the same size lid, making it that much easier to find what you want in your cupboards.

The clip-on lids have the added advantage of allowing the container to be stored while still open so that it breathes, preventing musty odours inside.

Addis Easy Keepers are safe to use in the microwave, freezer, and dishwashe,r and are made in South Africa from high quality plastic that is food safe and BPA free.

Easy keepers are available in six sizes from Pick n Pay and Checkers stores.
