The glass is pretty thick on the ones I have, some came from aldi, some came from Walmart. I've yet to have one break, I'm sure if they were dropped on concrete or tile they would break or crack. I'm not sure
Dropped a few on linoleum flooring without ever breaking. One out of three or so drops on tile flooring resulted in one shattering. Dropped them a few inches in the sink while washing and clumsily whacked them against the edge of the counter with no damage.
So pretty durable, but also fairly heavy since they are pretty thick.

I switched over to glass Tupperware and fixed my storage about two years ago. So far it's worked, I only have one lid with no partner.
Yeah, I'm pretty proud.

I have dyspraxia and drop everything. How breakable are they?

I have Pyrex ones that refuse to shatter when dropped on a tiled floor. I too am pretty clumsy in the kitchen.

They'll only last a few days in my presence....

Same here, although I'm actually down a couple of lids because of splitting but cling wrap works well enough in a pinch.
Don't miss the completely random variance in sizes and shapes of the plastic tupperware.

Sometimes I just use a plate on top

None. All mine match and are neatly lined up.
Pika@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 343d
mines the other way around. I have random bases with no lids.
I don't have as many now cause I just went through and donated 10-15 containers to family members that needed them.

You mean just the lids without the matching bowl? Probably like 5 or 6. Why? No idea, but just can't seem to throw them away.
LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al · 4 pts · 343d
I just threw one away. It's been in my cupboard for at least 4 years. I know it's hard but you can do it!

Your faith may be misplaced, but it is appreciated lol.

None, if I dont bring back the Tupperware and the lid my mom, my grandma (rip) and my aunts dont refill them. Gotta keep them coming back

i have 1 full set of that clear rubbermaid stuff that lasts forever (5 buckets & lids) and the rest are all deli containers that share lid size.
get deli containers as your workhorse <3
LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al · 2 pts · 343d
I've never heard of rubber maid is it expensive? And does it start to smell?
AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 343d
its a little expensive, but lasts forever and doesnt stain. it has been doing better than my "Tupperware" did.
rubbermaid brilliance are my non deli container ones - https://a.co/d/fMGINmP

Excellent tip thanks! I'd rather spend more money once than less multiple times

Often the random ones become unrandom, but are replaced by even more random ones.
