The best decision I ever made was to replace all my containers to be all the same size.

I never need to worry because every container and lid is the same. Sometimes I need to use 2 containers for one thing, but that is a small price to pay to never need to hunt for lids

    Glass containers with stretchy silicone covers are a solution.

    Food isn't constantly touching plastic :)

    And I have some glass ones that do stack, as in they fit into themselves, albeit not as tightly as a plastic set. Or another set that nests a smaller one inside of the bigger one with lids on, then I stack the big ones on top of each other.

    Also, they don't change colour as they age or stain depending on what was in them or how much iron was in the water when they were cleaned.

    God, srsly. I tell my wife to buy as little variety as possible with reusable containers, but sure enough, a month later she'll come home with some previously unseen cute little bento thing, so now we have 27 different kinds of lids.

    I just dedicated some cabinet space to store them with lids on. Takes up more space but never have this issue.
