Space in our RV is always at a premium. We found that the 3 cup rectangular, clear storage containers will store our leftovers (sometimes have to use several), and can be used as storage for many other items throughout the RV. They stack on top of each other, and are easily arranged in the refrigerator. The trick we have found is to keep all of the containers exactly the same size and brand. There's no need to look for a lid, and they all nest together in a very compact space while not being used.
