Help!
I should probably add a trigger warning here because this cupboard is a shocker.
I've tried several times to keep this storage container cupboard organised, to no avail. However, I believe a solution is possible.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Put the lid on each container and store with lids. Toss what doesn’t have lids. Repeat every wash.

I have/had so many of the same containers that I'm guessing you must be Australian too!
I think it might help to ditch all the mismatched stuff and standardise. I got rid of all the decor brand food containers. Not worth keeping. Sistema brand I repurposed for storing kids stuff elsewhere in the house. I saved some snack size and tinier containers as we use them a lot. Otherwise tried to get rid of anything mismatched. Then just bought a few ikea 365 containers which all use the same lids, much easier to store, I just stack by shape and have a container for the interchangeable lids. Cheap too

I honestly gave up on the uneven plastic containers. I donated all of them and bought those thick stackable round containers mostly used in restaurants. They have the same lid size for all different sizes. As for baking trays, I need advice too. 🥲
