Hey all!
Below is my original post about the "Mr Lid" container for food. It's now about a year later and I continue to use my lidded containers a lot. I use them every day for the little round cat food container after it's opened...one little round cat food fits well into the smallest size Mr. Lid container.
We also use them for leftovers, etc. and I love that they stack, tho my food containers cabinet could be neater; it's not Mr. Lid's fault.
I also wanted to repost this on my Bidbits.net blog, because I noticed when you search on my name in Google, the old post that was linked to my now-defunct shopyack.com blog does not come up. (The post is still alive, just at http://shopyack.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-working-mom-reviews-mr-lid-can-it.html).
Thanks, all!

A Working Mom Reviews Mr. Lid - Can it Solve Your Refrigerator Storage Woes? **** 1/2 Stars 4 1/2 Stars
I bought Mr. Lid from my local CVS a while ago for $19.95 and been meaning to tell you all how it worked out. (Did I mention I'm addicted to "As Seen on TV" products?).
Is Mr. Lid the greatest thing since sliced bread? It's pretty darn great...you can store your sliced bread in it if you want..or, more likely, that bread from last night's restaurant meal. Here's what their wed site at MrLid.com looks like:
It comes with, as it says, 20 containers...that's a good amount!
They're various sizes, and they're not too tall, so you can stack them with each other when you're not using them, and they fit in the fridge well.
One of the main uses for my smaller Mr. Lid container is for the wet cat food tin I use to give my cat every morning. It usually lasts three days, so I pop the tin into one of Mr. Lid's smallest containers, and voila! it's good to go for the rest of the days I'll be scooping it out to Pop, our kitty.
Here's a pic of just a few of my Mr. Lid containers:

I'd say for $19.95, with their buy one set get one free deal..that's a pretty darn good deal!
The only caveat I have is if you push too hard down on some of the containers to close the lid, it can get kind of "stuck" and difficult to open. So just give it a light punch with the butt of your fist, and it will stay closed enough without being hermetically sealed. ;)
All in all I give Mr. Lid 41/2 stars out of 5..."that's high praise" in the Julia ranking system, as Nicolas Cage would say. (Or rather, as the Saturday Night Live guy Adam Sandberg playing Nicolas Cage would say).
