I struggled for years having enough supplies for baking. I would always underestimate how much I needed to bake something and would find I didn't have enough the day before I started baking. I knew that needed to change and I needed a way to have more on hand but be easily accessible. I love OXOs, but let's face it, sometimes those get really heavy when you fill them to the brim.

Dry Goods Container: Healthy snacks such as fruit leathers, plain popcorn, etc. What do you pack for your kiddos lunches?
