I agree with that. I've *never* found Rubbermaid containers with poorly
fitting lids. And it's easy enough to keep them together.

(snip) Yep, I use butter tubs and the like for things like nails,
screws, washers and picture hooks. Misc. non-cooking things. I'm
fortunate to have a garage so I put them out there near the tool box.
Even when I didn't have a garage I had built-in storage room off the
patio at my apartment. Tools and stuff in those reused tubs were stored
outside.
