Storage Containers?

Since I've never heard of oxo I can't comment on that but Tupperware is great. As far as stuff for the kids to use I would get glad ware. That way if it gets lost in lunch boxes it's not a trauma.

I (unlike most people below) actually prefer glass jars, especially the glass jars with the rubber seal and metal clasp. If you go to Cost Plus, TJ Maxx, Home Goods, places like that, you can find lots of sizes and shapes. I use these for flour, sugar, rice, croutons, coffee, nuts, all kinds of things. I also wash and save/reuse good glass grocery jars (pickle jars and spaghetti sauce jars are awesome.) I put leftovers in these, homemade salad dressings, salsa and dips, stuff like that.
I also have some nice, higher end glass containers with plastic, well fitting lids, but I don't know the brand name (?)
Tupperware is fine but it always retains an odor, doesn't it? Especially anything made with onions or garlic.
I don't really think putting pasta or cereal in containers is worth it, because (in our house anyway) these items get used up pretty much within a week of opening so what's the point?

Ditto below.
Tupperware is great.
I still have some, that my Mom had, when we were kids.
STILL works, still in top shape, still does a good job.

I've never heard of OXO.

I use a lot of Tupperware that is 20+ yrs old for some goods ( sugar, flour, meal, rice, instant potatoes, to name a few) in my pantry. I also use several glass jars.

I have Tupperware from my mom and Grandmother that I still use!

I love my Tupperware but if you're into saving $$ the plastic ware from Ziplock and Glad are great as well for more short term. I use these for my homemade soups, marinara and such for the freezer.

Try looking at IKEA ... They sell quite a few types of containers.

Tupperware, I found some old Tupperware containers at Good will or St. Vinnie's years ago brought them home and washed them up and use them to keep cereal, noodles, and macroni type stuff. Keeps everything fresh and bug free.

They are guaranteed forever. One of my friends is a Tupperware lady and is trying to replace the lid (seal) on one of my containers.

Rubber made containers for sure

I keep flours and sugars in Rubbermaid canisters that are perfect for it, but when I went to get a link for you I discovered that they discontinued the product. Ugh. The site has similar new products but I don't know how they stack up to my old ones.

Rice, beans and stuff like work out well in cereal containers with a pour lid.

I was thinking Pop canisters but then I looked them up and realized those are by oxo and that is probably what you were talking about. I bought min at macy's and I love them. I bought them on sale and bought them a few at a time. When they were on sale they were a great price and I think the best price available. Macy's also has a really good return policy if you are not satisfied. I did not buy the combo pack or whatever its called because I did not feel it suited my needs. For dry pasta and rice though I used emptied/cleaned costco sized olive or pickle jars. The ones that are like 1.5 gallons. For the dried stuff unless it is long term storage I dont think you need a really good seal.

I like lock-n-lock the best. I bought a set off amazon for a decent price and my 3 yr old loves to flip the closures, since there are 4 of them and they make a loud click. I have found that they really seal tight so things in the fridge last 2-3 weeks vs 1 week. It is a measurable difference from all the other brands.

I think Oxo is a good brand but I also find it expensive, especially at places like Target. Container store is way too expensive for me.

I do own OXO Good Grips and I love them. I picked mine up from Target and Bed Bath and Beyond. I got a large starter kit and a small starter kit. I just saved up for it and got them. I also have rubbermaid storage containers for cereal. They are great and affordable. I got those from Target too. I also have some glass storage containers from Ikea which I also adore. The kids don't touch these.

If I want to buy just 1 of the OXO containers I go to either Home Good or Marshalls. I can almost always find what I need there over time for a great price.

I'm trying to use less plastic and more glass. But for convenience, I'd say to use something see-through so you know what's there, how much is left, and you don't wind up with a cupboard full of matching containers that tell you nothing about what's in there! I think clear containers make it easier for the kids (assuming they are old enough to deal with glass, otherwise use clear plastic). You can also put a label on the outside - on the SIDE, not the top so it's visible when containers are stacked. I also use a lot of recycled containers from the big stores.

If I'm trying to put something in a smaller container or just get rid of a cardboard box, I tear off the box top or the cooking panel and tape it right onto the new container - then I know what's in there and how long to cook it (I find pasta very frustrating because some things are 6 minutes and others are 12!) Box tops can help kids quickly identify what's in there too. Even kids who don't read yet can recognize the logo.

ikea would be a good place
