If you are like most people {including myself} you probably have some pretty grungy looking food storage containers hanging out in one or more of your kitchen cabinets. You might even have some stashed away in your basement or garage — just in case!
Am I right??
Well, this weekend, I was in the mood to purge — so decided it was time to purge some of my food storage containers.
I’ve seen worse, but for me, this was out of control and WAY too cluttered with items we don’t need or use.
Thankfully, I was recently contacted by Karen Norris — the inventor of Stack Mates — who sent me a full set of Stack Mates to try out in my own kitchen. Woo-hoo!
If you’ve never heard of Stack Mates {a.k.a. the most ingenuous and amazing food storage products ever!} it’s probably because they are a very new invention and are only advertised and promoted via TV infomercials.
But thanks to Karen’s generosity…you can enter to win a brand new, squeeky clean, 10-piece set of Stack Mates right here! {Keep reading for details}
And just in case FREE products aren’t enough motivation, here are 10 reasons why you could use a set of Stack Mates.
1. Your containers don’t have matching lids.
Stack Mates have interlocking lids that attach to the bottom…which means you’ll never lose a lid again.
2. Your containers are forever “pink” because of the pasta sauce and chili you stored in them.
Stack Mates don’t stain — even after several “tests” in the microwave and freezer.
3. Your containers are actually reused yogurt, cottage cheese, or sour cream containers.
Stack Mates will look so much prettier in your fridge…and you’ll actually be able to see what’s inside.
4. Your containers no longer have a tight seal.Stack Mates have a super tight seal. I even tried shaking them with chicken broth inside!
5. Your containers are coated with a white film from washing them a few too many times in the dishwasher.Stack Mates are dishwasher safe {top rack} and won’t discolor or get that nasty white film.
6. Your containers are warped and don’t hold their shape anymore.
Stack Mates are made out of a heavy-duty plastic that won’t warp or lose it’s shape.
7. Your containers are more than 10 years old {I would say 5 years…but I don’t want to ruffle too many feathers!}Stack Mates = brand new!
8. Your containers were supposed to be “disposable” containers when you purchased them 3 years ago.
Stack Mates = brand new!
9. Your containers don’t stack or nest nicely inside of each other.
Stack Mates nest perfectly inside each other. A 10 piece set stands only 3″ tall.
10. Your containers have somehow migrated to the home of your college kids, friends, neighbors, or co-workers and you’re not sure when {if ever} they will come home. Stack Mates are only for you…no sharing!

I live in an RV and must account for every bit of space possible. I try and try to organize and use the least amount of space for storing containers. Also boxes of items must be kept at a minimum due to the wasted space in them! These look like an item that my friends in the RV park and I would utilize and appreciate!
Marie says
My refrigerator is so small. I would love these to use in that because I need to be able to stack. Thanks for the opportunity!

I’m a number 3. Cool Whip containers.

My 1 1/2 year old twins LOVE the storage container cupboard. The problem is that all the lids AND all the containers are randomly laying across my kitchen floor. With the Stack mates the lids and containers can stick together–that is half the mess I have to pick up!! I also love that they are square–most of mine are round and just don’t fit well in my fridge.

I have two cupboards full of old crappy unmatching tupperware that I have inherited from different people and haven’t had the time to sort through it all since I’ve had my baby! HELP!!
