The Tupperware takeover is real and most of us seem to shy away from it by either pushing the boxes far from sight or dumping them in a collective bin. The end result is a neat freak’s nightmare.

If you’ve been bested by these tiny plastic vessels, fear not. We’ve compiled a list of ways you can tackle the Tupperware army and take back your kitchen. Read on to find out more.

For the larger vessels lying around, the undershelf is the perfect hiding spot. Since these containers aren’t used on a daily and can, therefore, be stored away for later use. The under shelf storage of your cabinets see little light, and therefore will not mix up with the rest of your crockery. This makes your sorting system quicker, easier and best of all, more affordable.
7. Use Book Bins

Keeps your cabinets from getting chaotic and messy by placing a few book bins in your drawer. Assign a particular task to each book bin. This will help to maintain a more organized system than just throwing in all elements of food ware in a single box.

Label each so that no one in the household can mess them up. Book bins come in a variety of shapes and patterns, so find one that appeals to you the most.
