Warning: my "cheap" meal prep containers leaked soup all over my work bag
Last Monday I grabbed a 12 pack of those dollar store plastic containers thinking I was saving cash. Big mistake. By noon, my chicken noodle soup had leaked through every seam and soaked my laptop sleeve and paperwork. The bag still smells like broth no matter how many times I wash it. Cost me $8 for the containers plus a new backpack at $35 because the smell won't come out. Anyone else get burned by bargain food storage? What brand actually holds up for liquid stuff?
Girl same thing happened to me with some generic brand from the grocery store, chili oil bled through my tote and ruined a library book. Rubbermaid Brilliance is the only cheap-ish one that hasn't betrayed me yet.
