I am always looking for new and interesting things that make RV life a little less cluttered. I discovered some collapsible storage bowls on one of our trips and thought they looked interesting so I bought two different sizes. I lilked them, but they are a little expensive (for storage containers). They sure do save a lot of space. I see that Tupperware sells them but I have not tried theirs. Have any of you tried these bowls for storage of leftover foods etc.? I recently bought some cheaper versions so I have not used them enough to see how they last. They seem like a good idea, even to use in my stick house. The clutter in the storage drawer with bowls and lids can be overwhelming. These bowls collapse for storage with the lids on them. Anyone have experience with these bowls? Some ideas look good, but in practice don't work too well.

So far I have only purchased one of these bowls, expensive....yes. I do use it often and even for freezing things it works well. Sometimes I do have trouble getting the bowl to pull it up (to be able to stretch it out) as hands arent what they used to be.

I also have purchased the collapsible bowls to try out before we start fulltiming (I retire in April and we have already listed our house to sell...but, no takers yet). I wanted to see how they worked and if they were durable enough to warrant the cost. I've been using them for a month or so for leftovers and storing them in the freezer. So far, I like them alot. They seem to be holding up very well and they sure don't take up much space. I especially like that you can store the lid on them and they still don't take up storage space. They collapse to about the same amount of space that a regular Tupperware lid takes up. Almost forgot to mention that I've been washing them in the dishwasher on the top rack and they take that very well also. I think I'll purchase more when we actually get ready to move into the RV.

Thanks Donna. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me how they hold up to all their claims. I purchased a set of three at "Fred's" a local discount store and thought I would try them out. The collapsible quality and storage lid is a great idea, so I am going to try them out too. Thanks for your input, I think I will get some more if I can find a good deal. Maybe I can find some at the outlet mall when we go shopping today. I stumbled across an ad on the itnernet from Tupperware for a set of three for $19.00. I don't know if their quality would be better but that is a little pricy. I am going on a bargain hunt for cheap collapsible bowls.
