    Expert Answer
    Sort the containers by size, shape, purpose, or frequency of usage to make them easier to find. It also helps to stack the containers neatly based on size or shape, as some containers will be able to fit into other ones to create less clutter. As a general rule of thumb, keep the corresponding lids with the containers, and use a designated drawer or cabinet specifically for the Tupperware or plastic containers.
