I was looking for some containers to use in my pantry and couldn't find quite what I wanted in Rubbermaid's regular line. I guess they no longer make the large square ones I purchased +/- twenty years ago for sugar and flour--they have been great! so I wanted to stay with the same brand. I haven't looked at or purchased any of the commercial products in this brand before, because I didn't realize there would be so many choices as far as size (I thought they would all be huge) and I figured they would be pretty expensive.But when I saw the (ridiculously low) cost for these--they were almost 50% off an already very reasonable price, I decided to order a few (I bought two of these and one 6-quart) and I think they are perfect for what I want. I am going to order a few smaller ones, too.The only thing I wasn't thrilled about is that the lids needed to be ordered separately--I was wondering why they weren't shown in the picture, but one of the reviews I read clued me in...(they were also on sale, so I was very happy to have large, very high quality containers (not clear, but you can see through them easily) for so little $$!Handles make them easy to well, handle...and the lid fits snugly. Happy with purchase!
